| Food |
The park's main food location is the Croc Pot Cafeteria, which features a range of hot entrees, sandwiches, and salads. If you are looking for Mexican food, check out La Fiesta, which features tacos, burritos, and nachos. Other food options include pizza, Philly cheese steak, and panini sandwiches.
For the sweet tooth or a snack, you do not want to miss one of the park's trademarks in the Fried Bat--a mixture of fried dough and Oreo cookies! There is also the Potato Patch (same as Kennywood), which serves natural fresh cut fries.
Finally, if you are thirsty, be sure to take advantage of unlimited free soda beverages, which are available at the park every day, all day long! They're Pepsi products but, hey, they're free!

| TPR Notes |
|
Built at the foot of Mount Compounce, the park utilizes the natural terrain for its two signature attractions, Boulder Dash and the SkyRide.
The older flat rides tend to run less-than-thrilling cycles, but the newer attractions can be more intense.
The park offers free Pepsi products and wet water rides to help guests cool down on those humid summer days.
The park does not take up a huge footprint but squeezes a small water park within its boundaries and admission price. | |
