And as for Wild Waves, I was just there and was disgusted by the number of used band-aids and food wrappers floating in the water, which tasted a bit too salty for my comfort (sweat? urine?). Wild Waves is really more of an amusement park these days (western theme in parts) and no longer has all the cool themed imaginative displays and play areas that Enchanted Forest has.

This is one of the best Mercury articles of all time. Finally, you use your powers for good rather than evil. Like Mondor.

Zumpie, talk about misleading! That $32.90 price is for an all-day unlimited ride wrist band. You can buy individual ride tickets for a mere 80 cents. So go soak yer head at Water Waves!

I guess not all of us have the same definition of "charm", do we zumpie? I'd much rather spend my day wandering through a forest full of sculptures some guy built with his hands and bags of cement, that is still well loved so many years later than go to some schmaltzy water park that makes me feel better about not being able to afford to take my family to Disneyland.

When things are run down, broken and filthy, I don't consider them to be "charming", but dangerous and gross. And for the record, Disney's stuff IS handpainted---but also well maintained.

While it's nice that this was Roger Tofte's dream--it's now simply a dreary little park that his family is milking to the bitter end.

Wild Waves in Federal Way is $28.99 per person if you purchase your tickets in advance. While it could do with a bit of sprucing up, it's still a far more impressive theme park for a bit less money.
