I think if they added the extra 5 dollar charge to the cost of the season passes and let season pass holders get in then it would be something my kids would enjoy time and time again, but as far as paying the extra on top of the food and everything else, I agree it does get costly. I have 3 kids and we all have gold passes. My kids will want to go in there once, but I will not pay more than once to go to the thing. I feel that this could be a good thing if they maintain it properly, but as far as paying extra even when u have a gold pass it is ridiculous.
