My friends and I went there after spending 80$ on tickets each. We went out to change our clothes to go to the water park and got back in no problem. However, when we went to go back and change and come back they asked if we were over 15. We are all over 18 and said yes. The security asked for our IDs and only one of us had them in an attempt to bring less items to lose at the park. The other three in our group had pictures of their IDs and were clearly over the age of 18. The security denied us entry when there was still hours left in the day. They were flagging others through without even scanning their ID and chose us who are ADULTS to deny entry too. The only place it says is in the chaperone policy and why would we think to look at that before when were all over the age of 18. This policy is age discriminatory.

We purchased a 2023 season pass for $99 in December 2022 for our 15 year old son. Due to the Chaperone Policy enacted on May 13, 2023 the season pass has NOT been activated.IF we had been informed of this policy change at the time of purchase, we would not have made the decision to purchase this pass as it was meant for him to enjoy the park with friends and cousins between the ages of 14-18.We spent over 30 minutes on the phone with various *********** employees/managers on 8/8/23 asking to simply apply a one year ***** and allow us to use the pass for **** without any additional fees since the policy change happened long after original purchase. Unfortunately *********** has not been willing to work with us and tells us that our pass expires in October 2023 even though the pass is not activated. We simply request to resolve this dispute by *********** honoring the pass for **** without any additional feesBusiness response
