Wet n a little too wild

It has finally come back to Las Vegas!!

I grew up here and Wet n Wild was the coolest place there was.  Jason and I were so excited to go we bought season passes for the whole family. 

We decided to go opening day, we knew it would be busy, we just weren't prepared for how busy.  It was only open to gold season pass holders and not to the public so we thought it would be OK.  Well not so much when the park sells 20,000 season passes and their park capacity is 3,000.  Those numbers do not bode well for the rest of the summer!

   One day I will find a hat this girl can't rip off her head :)

 This is the line we had to stand in to exchange our printed tickets into our season pass cards.  This doesn't show how it wrapped down the parking lot and then the 5 zig zags in front of the ticket counter.  It was over an hour and we got there before the park opened.

Every single ride looked like this, the wait to go on a ride was an hour and a half.  We did not go on any rides :(

They had a fun little kid area that Tyson and Taylor loved.  They wouldn't go on the huge kid playground because the water was too cold.

After going around the lazy river 6 times we decided to get out and take a break.  As we were walking Tyson starts screaming, "My feet are bleeding!"  The bottom of the lazy river was so rough that he had scrapped the bottom of his feet up pretty bad.  8 toes were cut and these 4 had to be bandaged by first aid.

I sat with the kids and the whining Tyson while Jason went to get food for lunch.  (You are not allowed to bring any outside food or coolers into the park).  He came back empty handed and said there was a 2 hour wait to get food.  We packed up and went home!  At 3pm we heard they closed the park to incoming people due to being at capacity.  We haven't been back yet but are crossing our fingers that the bugs will be worked out soon.
