Surprise Cash-Only Ticket Booths & 2-Hour Waits
“They have created a poor experience for their consumers by not listing they are cash only online. When you get in line for tickets you can’t see the cash only sign until you get to the ticket booth. The lines were 20 minutes long. The wait to get in from parking was an hour... 2 hours we stood in line.
