WHY ARE THE LINES SO LONG AT DORNEY PARK'S WILD WATER KINGDOM?

Have you ever been to Camelbeach in Tannersville, the Great Wolf Lodge in Scotrun, or Wet and Wild in Orlando? What do these three water parks have in common? They all move the lines much faster than Wild Water Kingdom. On one particular ride at WWK they have a roped off gate at the top of the stairs which keeps you from entering the main deck. This deck is where several slides begin. Only after the riders are completely out of the water and safely outside of the exit does the attendant come over to unchain the rope and allow the next set of riders to walk up to the slide. This takes several moments, between the unlatching of the hook, the riders walking over to the slides unsure of which one to choose, looking over to the attendant to make sure that they are allowed to go down the slide, all of which is another 60 seconds or so. Meanwhile, the lines build and get longer and longer. This creates a logjam on every ride causing wait times of over 60 minutes on most rides. This is completely unnecessary as witnessed by attending these other water parks. The others use a system of waiting until each rider has crossed a midway point on the three slides. At this point they allow the next set of riders to get set at the beginning of each slide. Upon the safety of the last of the current riders exiting the pool, but not yet outside of the exit, the attendant allows the next set of riders to start their ride. This simple yet still safe way of moving the line saves dramatic total times and cuts the wait times in half. Boy, its amazing how making a simple and subtle change can dramatically make it more enjoyable for everyone. My advice is to avoid WWK and go to one of the other water parks. You will get much more of your money's worth!
