I don't think you're a minority but Dinos Alive to me didn't live up to what I thought it was going to be. On top of that, there were those stupid inch worms EVERYWHERE and they kept getting in my hair and on my clothes.. Needless to say, I am not doing it again anytime soon.


At least now most of the worms are gone now so that won't be a problem.

When I went through Dino Alive last year it felt unloved. What appeared to be water features were dry, landscaping was not kept up and it honestly felt like it was about to be removed. I didn't complain because I paid half price to tour it, but the group I was in had more fun making jokes about it than actually "enjoying" it for what it was supposed to be. I did enjoy some of the caution signs and would love one when it is finally removed. :lol:

You had to pay?! I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't free. My opinion is somewhat different from anyone who agrees with this topic because when I get to an amusement park, I go straight for the rides. My only down time would be eating. It might just be me being a teenager and I don't get sick at all. I have way too much energy so "chilling" at an amusement park just doesn't happen.

I may be 19, but I do get tired. I highly appreciate chill spots at any park. It gives me a moment to just relax and listen to the sounds of the park, drink a soda, and just converse with whoever I'm with or to meet someone new, etc...
