A company called Intrawest took over the property known as Mountain Creek. The company has other properties that have turned out very nice. http://www.intrawest.com/index.htm
They have really concentrated on the property's lodging adding a very nice hotel. Honestly, the place within five years will be unrecognizable. The plans include major expansions;...stores, restaurants and several more hotels. This could only mean water park/ski resort expansion as well. They seem to have really big plans for the place. As of right now, they have not really added a whole lot since it was action park (who was known for their dangerous and crazy slides, and looping water slide!) In 2003 they added one of the first funnels. check out the link for some pictures. http://themeparks.about.com/cs/waterparks/a/highanxiety.htm
All in all, I think that it's a decent park with some potential; the biggest of which, in my opinion, is it being built into the mountain and the ability the park has to use the terrain for its attractions.
Like any park in NJ, it can have it's ghetto days. Vernon/Sussex County; where it is situated, is probably the most removed least ghetto place in NJ (mostly woods and farm land...including some crazy cows but you'll have to ask robb and elissa about those), having lived in several places in this wonderful state. I am a teacher at the high school and while my 99.5% white/caucasian populated students like to think they are ghetto sometimes, they really have no clue. Honestly, the place is getting a major face lift/make over but like any park/resort, some days Mountain Creek can bring in the best trash of NY and NJ......as many Great Adventure fans I’m sure have experienced. Hope this helps.
