well when we went in august we loved it. we had 2 kids with us, and when we checked in we had an option to upgrade to a vip ticket, which we did. we had a separate waiting room with food and beverages (alchol too), and the vip tickets were front row. when you do the upgrade, the kids ended up doing something in the end, and we were also pulled up to do a couple of things..... it was a fun time. i didnt bring my camera, so the only pics that i got were from my cell phone... didnt come out good. the only other pic i have is the kids with their faces painted. when we got there they took our picture and gave it to us.. came out pretty good, they put you in hats and swords..
