    My kids could spend all day in the lazy river! We had a blast touching all the mermaids and fish on…read morethe walls of the lazy river. It was a lame that they force everyone to wear life jackets now. My kids had their own but for me and many others it was not fun. I heard a ton of people complaining. A couple of the rides we wanted to ride most were out of order so that was a bummer. And some of the workers were nice but more were kinda pushy and mean.

    This has been a go to spot for a quick family vacation. Since Six Flags took over the old memories…read moreof this place are far behind us. We were skeptical about coming since we've read so many bad reviews but couldn't pass it up on our trip to Galveston. Ticket prices are decent. Now they have the whole first parking lot as preferred so if you don't want to walk a quarter of a mile, pay the $15 for preferred. We never ride any of the rides. We stay in the wave and rapid river. The wave river was super low. The water was a little over 2 ft so I kept scraping my knees on the ground. The waves were also less frequent and subtle than before. The rapid river was closed along with many other rides due to staffing issues. Very disappointing. I did expect to have tons of people because we went on a Saturday but the park wasn't full. None of the employees knew what was going on when we asked questions. Overall our experience was okay but not close to the same as it use to be.

    I really love rollercoasters, but sometimes these wooden ones will tear you up and send you seeking…read morethe nearest chiropractor. Not only was the Boardwalk Bullet a blast and a half to ride, but my back and neck were A-OK after I got off. No problem with whiplash whatsoever! One of the smoothest wooden rollercoasters I've ever been on, in fact. If you are 100+ years old, frail, barely able to walk and such, but yet you're trying to decide whether or not you should try a ride on the Boardwalk Bullet, I assure you, you'll be fine! Just make sure to wear your Depends, though.

    This is review #1000 for me (should be #1002, but I won't go into the details of why two of them…read morewere removed, grrrr), so it had to be special. How about this: #1000, I'm the first one to write a review on it, and one of the great rollercoasters in the country. The Boardwalk Bullet opened in 2007 a few feet from Galveston Bay. It's a woodie, and it's a crazy one. I had heard that the Texas Cyclone was relocated here from Astroworld, that DID NOT happen, these are two very different coasters. From a distance, it looks like it would be a lot of fun. The reality is much greater. First, you're waiting in line, and when the train zips under you, the entire structure shakes. Second, there is a place to put your hat, purse, phone, etc.; loose articles are prohibited. If you're nervous about riding, simply step through the train and leave, although you just lost $6 by doing so. If you do sit down, you're in for a thrill. I rode near the back, but I don't think there's a lot of difference between front and back. The Bullet never slows down from the first drop to the finish. There are three big drops, and they're all gnarly. The big feature, indeed is speed: although it barely goes over 50mph, the turns are tight, the drops are sudden, and you have only a split second to prepare for anything. The Bullet packs a lot into a small space, which makes it more intense than 80mph on a 200-foot drop. Its high noise level increases the excitement level. It's like a smaller version of the Ghost Rider in California's Knott's Berry Farm: smaller, shorter, but the same out-of-control feel. Some coasters are yawners. Others have you say "hey, that was pretty good." The Boardwalk Bullet is one of those that you'll want to ride again and again and again.
