Paradise Amusements was at Apopka this weekend. A cute little fair for some family fun. Like any other fair it's a money pit, quite expected. Wrist bands were $20, a great deal, except they are only good until 4pm and then you have to have tickets. My family had a great time up until we waited in line over 30mins for the SpeedXXL ride. The wait was expected. I gave 2 stars because when it was our turn to get on the ride, it was 4:04p. They turned my son and I away because my son had a wrist band and I had tickets. This ride not only cost 7 tickets but seriously dude, you seen us waiting in line... I understand they have rules but this was just ridiculous. 30mins spent waiting to be turned away by ONE of the two employees working the ride. One guy was trying to let us on since he seen us waiting and the other guy refused to. So, I went to the ticket booth to attempt to buy 7 more tickets so my son could ride the ride. I couldn't even buy 7 tickets! Had to buy a full sheet for $20. Mind you, my family already had the wrist bands and rode all the rides except for this one, so we didn't need a full sheet. We spent $80 here on just rides, to get turned away. The gentleman at the ticket booth very rudely told me "look them up on Facebook, to complain." He also rambled on about how that ride is nothing but problems, etc. Very alarming, that he had the audacity to say this. I looked this place up on Facebook, they haven't had any posts since 2020... LOL Well what started as a wonderful afternoon ended with a sour taste in my family's mouth over two extremely rude workers. If you attend this fair, expect to drop $$$ and don't waste your time getting in any lines after 330p.
