We had a lot of fun and it was very crowded in the beginning, but after about 45 mins, it seemed to slow down. My only complaint was that it was very muddy. Luckily I just wore sweats and a sweatshirt, but my daughter wore a brand new Under Armour sweatshirt she got for Christmas, and I made her take it off b/c it started to get mud all over it. Our shoes were muddy and the tubes had mud on them and when we carried them, it got onto our clothes. We weren't walking in the grass or anything, so I'm not sure where it all came from. Other than that, we had a lot of fun!!
