Good rides but purchased the photo package only to find that not all rides had a photo option. Disappointed at the waterworks attraction as we got to the front only to have the rope pulled across us preventing us from seeing the show, even d we hen I explained we had to leave the next morning. No exceptions even with Express tickets. Having said that it was a good day and the whole family got drenched on the Jurassic Park ride.

There were a lot of people but the express pass made our day better because we never had to wait in line. We got into the attractions without any problems of long waits. Really nice special effects! An unforgettable day
