Never been and was looking forward to it, it has some highlights for sure, Iron Gwazi was fantastic as were some of the other rides, they are more of a real thrill ride over any Disney and even Universal, real roller coasters, special mention has to go to the ice Dancing show which was awesome.
There are some inherent issues when compared to say Universal Studios, everything is outside, so there is very little time spent out of the direct sun, there are no indoor rides, of course you can't build the likes of Iron Gwazi indoors, so this isn't a complaint, I am pointing it out as folks read the review to get the full picture, outdoor rides meant we lost 2 1/2 hours of running due to storms which closed the rides, as there are no indoor alternatives what do you do !! they even stopped running the tram to the car park, WHY !!!
Now onto the rides, 2 of the big 9 were not available all day and and 3rd one only worked for an hour before the storms moved in, this meant for a poor experience and bigger queues I suspect at the open rides, this isn't good enough.

Lastly, it is a massive rip off, $4.50 for a bottle of water is a rip off, its Florida we need to drink water, we went to chick-fil-a for lunch, they only sell a few items, but what shocked me was the price, I know it is a theme park and expect to pay a little more, but lets compares, I paid $71.48 for a family meal that would cost me $30.57 in a real chick-fil-a store, this markup disgusts me.
I will never go back
