The first time I went in April 2001, I didn't like DCA because I was comparing it with DL. The second time I went in September 2001, I really liked it. It really depends on what you like about going to an amusement park. DL is great, but you have to be on the go a lot "it's a A-personality park). With DCA you can relax, have a soft drink and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. You can enjoy the park at a more leisurely pace. There are action rides, "Soaring Over California", the roller coaster, the water ride, but you can also sit and enjoy the parade, listen to music over at the wharf and just relax. you don't feel like you always have to be on the go to see everything. I'm sure that they'll add more amusements. I'm really excited hearing about them building a "Tower of Terror" but for now enjoy the park for what it is. Don't expect a DL, there already is one across the way.
