Having been to Dave and Buster's the night before, we really weren't impressed by the small, pricey arcade at Great America. It's cool that they have an arcade, but how much cooler would it be if tokens weren't $0.50 each?! I mean, I know they nickel-and-dime you at these amusement parks, but really... you put in a $1 bill into the change machine and get back two tokens?!
The rides are free once you've entered the park (all except Xtreme Flyer) - perhaps the arcade should be free also. Wishful thinking, I know. Go have fun on the awesome rides and keep your quarters.
Only two kids were in the arcade while we walked around. They tried over and over to win a prize in the skill claw. We tried also. (You can't go to an arcade and not play at least one or two games)! A perfectly aimed claw hovered over an unobstructed stuffed Mario Mushroom, and yet, the claws just couldn't muster the strength to lift the small toy. Somebody call the weak sauce patrol! That's just not fair.
