Great place for kids and adults. Would like to see more smaller rides but neverless you can go on a few times. Shark hotel also Great lovely staff the one small let down was that only infinity bar to eat at when park closes which is a real shame because who wants burger after burger every night not a good selection of food. I would suggest ordering take out cheaper and more choice, don't use the vending machines or 2p machines after hours because if anything gets stuck you Lose. breakfast on the other hand at infinity bar was really good.
