Water Country USA

I've only been here twice and love it! I suggest paying the extra for the quick queue pass because it's worth it. Here are my thoughts on a few rides:COLOSSAL CURLQuick Queue available. If you're not a fan of roller coasters, do not like dips, or that g-force feeling, I would not recommend this ride. Accepts either 2 or 4 riders at a time. 3 is not acceptable since it's not well balanced. The raft looks like a fidget spinner. BIG DADDY FALLSQuick Queue available. 1-5 riders per raft. No major dips but lots of waterfalls for you to get soaked under. My top 3 favorite. AQUAZOID AMPEDQuick Queue available. Up to 5 riders per raft, as long as the lightest two riders are under 60 inches. I could be wrong, but this is based from memory and reading the signs. Like I mentioned before, I can't do dips but this is okay. It's a fast slide that has tunnels with lights. Not for the light sensitive. You know the ride is almost over when you go through the dark tunnel. Because the tunnels are mainly black, the water is fairly warm here on a sunny day. My top 3 favorite. The line here backs up pretty quickly and there's somewhat of a wait despite having the Quick Queue pass. Do this first before anything. CUTBACK WATER COASTERQuick Queue available. My ultimate favorite. Fits up to four riders with a combined weight of no more than 700 pounds. The lightest in the front, heaviest in the back, and the second heaviest in the second position. Dips aren't bad so if I can handle it, so can you. The water jet propulsion system gets you soaked with cold water. I believe there were about 3 sections of this. MALIBU PIPELINE Quick Queue available. Up to two riders per raft. No major dips. Relaxing fun ride. VANISH POINTI didn't do this one because it's a NO for me. I can't do major dips, and this is nothing but a DIP. RIPTIDE RACEQuick Queue available. One person raft. Four slides altogether to choose from. No major dips. Also fun and relaxing. NITRO-RACER SUPERCHARGEDQuick Queue available. Single rider on a mat with 6 lanes available. Looks intimidating but doable for the people that do not like dips. The food was actually delicious for a water park. Chicken tenders, rice bowls, burritos, and cheeseburgers. But be prepared for it is costly.

Great parking. Easy in and out. Dont worry if there is a little walk. Shortly you will be soaked Plenty of life guards somewhere safety is number one here. But if you think you are coming here and not getting wet think again. This is a place to be a kid again at any age. So put on your blue suede water shoes and dance in the water to the tunes playing through out the park.

The entrance to the park is off of 199. Since I have been to a few theme parks, I was sure that this one is no different so I aimed to arrive 30 minutes before park opening to anticipate a line for parking and there was.I was sitting on 199 until they opened those gates and it didn't really feel very safe at all. The traffic stretched further back beyond me. The fees for parking starts at $32 and meals are easily $20 for a few pieces of tenders and fries. I wasn't all too impressed with the prices. Sad part also is that you can't bring your own food and if you can, its due to dietary restrictions. The park has to be contacted first prior to arrival.I certainly had fun in the park, there are few slides that smaller kids can go on and they definitely specialize in those. I was a little bummed with the lazy river only going in a circle with no particular water falls or anything.Rock n Roll Island is more for the younger guests I think, the pool has a ropes course and the kids loved doing that. There's a water slide there too which is convenient.We had fun but I probably wont be making a trip out for this since we're not local.

What a fun water park! Fun, wet, wavy, slippery, and did I mention, FUN!Most of the staff are friendly. A special call out to Jason at the security/check-in area and Bradley at the Ticket Checking section. We found most of the park areas clean, inviting and lots of available chairs. One thing this park lacks is sufficient chairs/benches or seating capability in shaded areas. The kid pool/lazy river area is in need of maintenance. Cracked, chipped, concrete around the pool areas. Same found in the lazy river areas. Four weeks ago there was a large mushroom shaped shower item which had lots of cracked concrete and missing/chipped tile sections. This last weekend it was gone and a small section of the pool was roped off. This entire area needs to be closed, drained, and some serious maintenance performed.The Wave Pool is fun and runs on a 10-min wave on / 8-min wave off schedule. It great to sit on a life vest and just bob, bob, bob.During your visit don't forget to check out the 'Hubba Hubba Highway' The longest river highway on the east coast and the water flows around 5-MPH. Fun to just float along the stream, relaxing, and enjoying the sun.

If you have little ones and need a nice day out of the house I strongly say go on weekdays throughout the summer!! My little one is 2 1/2 and we have a blast when we go to the toddler areas! We usually pack snacks to have that way it doesn't get too pricey getting meals. They do have plenty of meal packages also parents they have great tasty beverages

Water Country USA is a fantastic water park with thrilling slides, lazy rivers, and fun for all ages. Clean, friendly, and perfect for a day of family adventure.

If possible, getting a Platinum Membership makes both BGW and Water Country USA better -- and after seeing how the Platinum membership discounts made key WCUSA upgrades affordable, it really made our water park experience great.For starters, get to the park before it opens and go to the ticket & guest service window -- the kiosk cannot do all the options. We were helped by Cora who was so welcoming and a great communicator -- she let us know choices and her recommendations. We went with two lounger chairs near the wave pool and an extra access band for a 12yo and 3 quick queue pluses. The price for these as well as an AD Military ticket was much lower in person than online! While this may not always be the case pending season changes, it's well worth checking.Even if you're not a Platinum Pass holder and don't plan to get upgrades, it's still worth getting to the park for 'rope drop' -- we went straight to the Cutback Water Coaster, did NOT use our 1x QQ, & basically walked on. We should have jumped right back in line since it really is one of the park's best rides in our opinions.The Plus unlimited QQs are nice -- getting Aquazoid Amped was $$$ since later in the day the line was around 2 hours long. I did not see folks abusing the QQs despite perceptions with folks who had cards instead of wristbands. The 1x QQs made us concerned when we realized the Colossal Curl attendant pulled the Cutback tab off of two of our bands. On our way to the Lazy River I spotted a group of supervisors & asked if this would be an issue for us to ride Cutback later -- Joey, a personable and capable problem-solver gave us multiple options to ensure we would not miss out due to the CC attendant's mistake. Joey seems like executive management material!At the end of our day, we got on Wild Thang because it became one of our favorites. The attendant, Casey, was one of the most fun attendants in the park! Never losing her attention to safety, she increased the joy of the ride with her great personality and even recommended we ride a third time so we could get all the combos. If she doesn't already, Casey should train other attendants!Additional tip: if it's a very hot day, it would likely be worthwhile to get one of the refillable cups to get ice water or $2 iced sodas -- but I hope the staff crack down on folks trying to fill their personal water bottles that way. One man held up the burrito line for at least 2 min filling a gallon-sized personal mug with lemonade. Accountability makes the world a better place IMO.We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Water Country USA & I hope you will as well!

5/28/2024 I recognize it is early in the season but the website only lists 2 ride closures. Far from true. The list of rides that are open is far shorter than the list of rides that are closed. The cabanas have no attendant. So anyone can walk back here. And they aren't service oriented. The cabanas no longer give towels. "They haven't for years!" But we got one last year when we rented a cabana--so that is just a load of bull. "Well they must have given you one because you were upset." I didn't get upset last year. I was surprised and pleased. It was the key reason that we got a cabana again. And me being shocked or slightly frustrated is not "Karen" behavior. I don't appreciate the insinuation. We came with a family of six and had three emergency towels. But it won't be a problem since the only options are half of the wave pool and 3-4 slides spread out all over the park.There isn't even a lazy river. BOTH entire areas are closed. I get it. It's a Tuesday early in the season. But update your website. Or post signs before we enter. And if you have a policy change--like no more towels...put it in writing for families to make informed decisions. The park is fine. It is too early to be trashed. The lifeguards did their job in the 4 feet of water that was open. Don't waste your money on the cabana unless it is a holiday or busy weekend. Basically it was a seat and a ceiling fan.

Really good experience a lot to see and do. Kind of wild getting around as there is so many slides and things. Definitely recommended the water pros bags for your phones

Rides and water is. Fine and food came hot and much more and ice cream and gift shop too
