text: Wow.  What can I say.  This experience was pretty bad.  \n\nFirst-- it's in a REALLY BAD neighborhood.  You can't feel safe at all, and this whole area needs 15 times the police that are walking around.\n\nPrice:  Every time I turned around, someone wanted more money.  Sure, there were displays of canned fruit and Elementary school artwork that's free to see, but anything else, and the carnies want more money.  It would be a different thing, if they were cheap games with even cheaper prices, but they're not.  These are cheap games with spendy prices.  It's a groady, dirty, filthy place full of dirty, filthy workers that want me to hand over endless cash for their house-favored games.\n\nI'm proud to be an Arizona-born native, although I'm stunned that our politicians continue to declare that this annual event is a BENEFIT to the pride of the State of Arizona.  Did I mention that they want money the INSTANT you park your car?  They also WANT money when you go in, they WANT money for ride tickets, and they WANT money for food---  am I leaving something out?  I would expect that they will start charging to use the CLEAN bathrooms that haven't been installed yet.\n\nPlease avoid this place, save your money, and don't feel like you're missing anything.\n\nP.S.  If you're going to a concert--- they will let you see it, once you've paid to get inside the park.  It will be in the coliseum where the seats were designed for 12-year-old girls.  Please don't expect that the seating was designed for actual, American men like John Wayne, who I heard was 6'4\".  He would've never fit.  I'm also convinced that they won't spend the effort to correct this horrendously un-american flaw, and yet they will continue to expect your endless supply of $$$ money $$$.  \n\nEnjoy!
