		<description>Well of course it will be cheaper to operate a tropical resort in Florida than it is in northern Germany.
Also, if they didn&#039;t tell you they charge extra for each ride (and there were no signs informing you) then you probably needn&#039;t have paid. This would be fraud under german law.
However as the operators know this, I&#039;m quite sure there were signs that you overlooked.</description>

		<description>[quote]ballaerina said: &quot;It&#039;s surprising how inexpensive it is. I was waiting to see an astronomical cost. Next time I&#039;m in Europe I will definitely try to check this out. Damn good post.&quot;[/quote]

I went there this past weekend. It&#039;s very expensive don&#039;t let the admission fool you. They give you a bracelet and in their broken english tell you, &quot;This is how you get onto the rides... yea?&quot; What they don&#039;t tell you is they charge you everytime you go through a gate to get to the ride and have you to pay as you leave.

It all adds up very fast. The next thing you know you are paying 60+ euros, which is about 85$, for a waterpark. 

As a visitor from Florida I see it as outrageously expensive. Considering I can enjoy a full day of unlimited rides at Wet N&#039; Wild, with a given soda can, for 20$. And for an extra 13 I can purchase a year long pass allowing me to return whenever I want for free.
