5/5
I had a great time. If you like rides, there's nothing like a thrilling roller coaster. It's 200% like wearing 3D glasses and experiencing VR. It's great for taking pictures. I went to Mario Early Entry, but there's a wristband? I think you need that to enjoy it. It's $45 each. There's an express ride, so you can skip the line when you need to and just go in and ride. Even capitalist kids seem to like it. The food they sell inside is good, but I ate lunch with snacks I brought in advance and took lots of pictures. Be sure to check the show times for Water World. People avoid the spots where they get splashed with water. The show is really fun.
