We went on the Sunday of Labor Day (Sept 4) and were very skeptical before going, due to the previous reviews stating that the many rides weren’t in service and it was a rip off. They were reasonable for (5-20 minutes) for the boardwalk-type rides (tilt-a-whirls, etc) but they were closer to 45 for some of the most popular attractions. The one con to the park (which you'll find at any amusement park these days) is the lines. We've enjoyed those other parks, but we felt like we got what we paid for - good, old fashion family fun. This park is significantly cheaper than the parks it gets compared to (Hershey & Sesame Place). The Dragon Lair's boat ride was a universal family favorite. Merlin's Mayhem roller coaster was a stand out. Riding a vintage monorail with Halloween music was probably the scariest ride in the park (will it fall off the track? Ride it and find out!).
We could have done without the Halloween costumes on the dinosaurs (it made that exhibit more campy), but otherwise enjoyed the theming throughout the park.
There were Halloween decorations throughout the park most were well done (the train ride at night is a must). Many of the summer-appropriate rides were closed, but there was no shortage of fun.
Unlike most parks built today, this park has trees throughout the park that were spectacularly changing on this fall day. I loved the my kids got to experience old-fashioned thrills at a well maintained park. It was built in the '60s and reminded me of the parks I went to as a kid in the '80s and '90s. We enjoyed a gorgeous fall day at Dutch Wonderland (our first time at this park).
