We went the second week it opened and they were not ready for prime time yet. Many buildings unfinished, no concessions really, restrooms not constructed yet, and a few rides not open- it’s no Disneyland – but from the kids’ perspective? True magic.
Having each of the engines or characters in full size was pretty cool. The adults did spend a huge chunk of time talking through how they could have done it better and made more money.
Magic for the kids, both were young enough to be totally into it. We did have amusement park meltdown at the end, but that was not unexpected.
Erin’s parents treated us to the park and the kids loved being with them.
