It took us about 1 hour to drive there and we arrived about 9:15, park opens at 10:00, we wondered in and then queued waiting for the park to open, the advantage of getting their early was to get a picnic table and chairs, which we managed.
There are two parks, the old one and the new (East and West) we started in the old park and it was great fun, the kids loved the rides and the queues where small to begin with, the other good park was that the old park had great tree cover which gave plenty of shade. We managed 3 rides before the queues built up, some of the rides go for 15 minutes+ and even run from the top of the park down into the Comal river.

12:00 and we stopped for lunch, great thing about this park is you can take in a picnic which saves on cost. We did one more ride after lunch and then headed to the new park, you can get a tram, for free, between the two parks.
The new park was disappointing, it has bigger rides, but no shade and as we did this in the heat of the day it was bad news. We did a couple of rides one that lasted about 20 minutes and one that just went round in circles.
A good day was had by all and I will definitely look to buy a season ticket for next year. The good news is they are looking at building one in Cedar Park, which is where we live so that would be fantastic, however 2015 is the earliest opening date!
