I’ve been to better amusement parks, which is kind of sad because I used to go to this place all the time during the summer when I was a kid and it was great then.

Alas, the last time I was there (14 years ago admittedly, but I noticed another poster got the same impression) the place was full of punks. Rude gangs of kids (and I was only 20 at the time) very downtrodden feel to it. Kind of like parts of Hayward where you don’t feel like you’re in a bad part of town, but you certainly wouldn’t confuse where you’re at with being a good part of town either ;)

Who knows, maybe the crowds are better now, but before making this a destination trip, I’d do a little more research.
