Good Points

Some of the rides were fun and it is nice to go to a park that isn't aimed at teenagers- something for most ages. Animal Kingdom had some super interactive displays for the children (those that weren't broken/vandalized).

Bad Points

Hardly any toilets, queues for those their and all blocked or disgusting. Beanoland looked sadly run down and there was litter everywhere! We paid £64 for a family four - I know it was half term but the park was not busy at all yet we only went on 6 things dues to queues - it seemed to me to be not very well organised e.g log flumes going off with only 2 people in, empty double seats on Vampire Ride, people waiting and blocking exits - one ride we queued for 2 hours - the signs wait time expected were way off every time - this works out as £10 a ride! Also it was so commercial- more like a funfair - where there are touts everywhere trying to rip you off - throw-a-coconut type stalls, trampolines etc - more money! - and you had to pay 50p extra if you wanted a map- £6 extra for fast track. It doesn't even compare with Disneyland Paris which is a magical, clean and more for-your-moneys-worth place.

Go to disneyland Paris or Legoland- for clean, magic and quality.
