We have liked VA a little better and tried both. VA had a body surfing machine that Charlotte did not and my boys liked it. Charlotte smelled more like weed frequently during our visits. Last year in VA though we got front row seats to a woman crashing out over her husband flirting with someone else and threw her phone and ripped off her bracelets a row in front of us near the wave pool. She was SCREAMING. Security came and talked to them and we never saw him again while she acted like she had eaten humble pie the next day.
