点评:Very disappointing experience – not suitable for families with younger children
We visited the water park expecting a fun family day out, but unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience, particularly given the price we paid.
Our children are both four years old, and the majority of the rides have a 42-inch height requirement. We didn’t think this would be a on issue as we had done the theme park the previous day and had no issues with the 42-inch height marker!
Despite both children reaching the 42-inch height marker, we found the enforcement of the height restrictions to be extremely inconsistent. Some lifeguards allowed our son to go on a slide when he was measured at 42 inches, while others refused to allow him - on one occasion this related to the same ride later in the day, despite him having already been on it earlier. This inconsistency was incredibly frustrating and confusing.
Our daughter had an even more disappointing experience. Although she reached the red 42-inch height marker, she was deemed to be just short of the required height and therefore wasn’t allowed on the 42-inch rides. We should highlight we were told this after waiting 1 hour for the ride.
Given that children and adults pay the same admission price, it is extremely disappointing that she was effectively left with very little to do and subsequently we were unable to fully experience the day as an adult was then also unable to go on the slides due to needing to stay with our little girl.
We were told that she could use the children’s splash park instead, but even that had a 42-inch height restriction on its slide. This meant the only area she could really use was the baby splash pad, which was clearly designed for pre-walking children and was extremely busy, you could hardly move. It was completely unsuitable for a four-year-old.
The park was also extremely busy. The average wait for the slides was around an hour, there was a queue simply to enter the wave pool, and there was a long wait for the lazy river because there were so few floating rings available. When we eventually managed to get rings and enter the lazy river, it was anything but relaxing. Due to the shortage of rings, numerous adults and children were walking through the lazy river, making the experience chaotic rather than enjoyable.
Overall, we felt that the combination of the high admission price, long queues, overcrowding, inconsistent enforcement of height restrictions and lack of suitable activities for our four-year-olds made this a very disappointing day.
We would strongly not recommend this water park for families with younger children, particularly those around the 42-inch height threshold. Based on our experience, there simply wasn’t enough for our children to do to justify the cost of admission.
We raised our grievance on the day with management and guest services and despite been assured this would be dealt with by the end of the day, we are still waiting for communication 48hours later …
翻译:体验极其糟糕——不适合带幼童的家庭
我们原本期望能在这里度过一个愉快的家庭出游日,但遗憾的是,这次体验实在令人失望,尤其是考虑到我们所支付的价格。
我们的两个孩子都只有四岁,而园内大多数游乐设施都要求身高达到42英寸才行。我们原以为这不会是个问题,因为前一天我们刚去过另一家主题公园,当时42英寸的身高要求也并未给我们带来任何困扰!虽然两个孩子的身高都达到了42英寸的标准,但我们发现身高限制的执行情况极其不统一。有些救生员在测量出我儿子身高为42英寸后允许他玩滑梯,而另一些则坚决不允——有一次甚至是在同一天、同一个滑梯上,尽管他之前已经玩过了。这种前后不一的做法实在令人沮丧又困惑。
我的女儿的经历则更加令人失望。虽然她达到了42英寸的高度标准,但仍被认为略低于规定身高,因此不被允许乘坐42英寸高度的游乐设施。需要指出的是,我们是在排队等候了1个小时之后才得知这一规定的。
鉴于儿童和成人的门票价格相同,实在令人失望的是,她几乎没什么事情可做;而由于我必须留在那里照顾年幼的女儿,作为成年人的我也无法去玩滑梯。
我们被告知她可以去儿童戏水区,但那里的滑梯也有42英寸的高度限制。这意味着她唯一能使用的区域就只有婴儿戏水区了。那个区域显然是为还不会走路的幼儿设计的,但那里人山人海,几乎动弹不得。对于一个四岁的孩子来说,那里完全不适合玩耍。
整个游乐园也挤满了人。滑梯前的平均等待时间约为一小时,就连进入造浪池也需要排队;由于可用的漂浮圈数量极少,要坐上漂流河也得等很长时间。当我们终于拿到漂浮圈并进入漂流河后,那里也根本谈不上放松惬意。由于泳圈供应不足,许多成人和儿童都只能在 Lazy River 漂流河中行走,导致整个体验变得混乱不堪,毫无乐趣可言。
总体而言,我们认为高昂的门票价格、漫长的排队时间、过度拥挤的环境、身高限制规定执行不力,以及缺乏适合四岁儿童的游乐项目等因素,使得这一天变得极其令人失望。
我们绝对不推荐有年幼孩子的家庭前往这座水上乐园。尤其是那些身高接近42英寸的孩子。根据我们的经验,孩子们能参与的活动实在少得可怜,根本不值那个入场费。
当天我们就向管理层和客服部门提出了投诉。虽然他们保证会在当天解决,但48小时过去了,我们仍在等待回复……
