| Review: |
I was able to play here a couple of weeks ago and really liked it exept for a few things . I really liked the strictness of their barel plug/ goggles on policy . i wasnt too crazy about the prices though . Its 30 bucks to get in with all day air , thats not bad at all but when i only need 1 fill a day it feels like im gettin ripped off for 10 bucks a fill when id rather have the choice whether or not i want all day air or i want to pay for individual fills . If you are going to this field make sure to bring more than enough paint , you dont want to end up paying 80 bucks for a case of seconds paint . Now to the fields ... they are SUPERB the four fields up top are sick , you have 1 hyperball , 2 hyperball baby dunes mix, 1 woodsish field thats about the length of a speedball field , and at the bottom probably the sickest scenario field in california it is huge and it is sitting on a couple of acres of land ... perfect for all you snipers but not really my thing . The refs there arent the best but they get the job done, i found one ref tell me you couldnt bunker and gun hits do count and another tell me you can bunker and gun hits dont count ...so ill let you be the judge on that. This place gets much respect from me by the way mike runs it, at the beggining of the game he had a bunch of rentals and said we could use one if our guns broke down , this is unheard of at most fields.( that kind of attitude makes me love the place even more) ... it is a solid field but has room for improvement ... overall i would STRONGLY reccomend it . I used to play at conquest but after playing here will never go back to that field ... CLOSE ENCOUNTERS>conquest for begginers and advanced alike |

The field is extremely hilly which makes for choke points when trying to move to new positions. Maybe this explains the lack of player movement on the field (though I suspect they were mostly new players).
The reffing was very poor with the refs just parking themselves on the edge of the field of play and just watching.
In fact I got so discouraged at the general poor level of play that I just left in disgust.
And yeah, they soak you for every penny. |

| Review: |
After playing here for 6-months then boycotting the place for stealing my dad's credit card number and for over-all douch-ness, I thought up of a PRO-CON list...
PROS:
1. You can play paintball
2. Free air
3. Amazon used to play DODGEBALL on GSN
CONS:
1. Staff steals credit cards
2. Staff don't do their jobs
3. Crappy field paint and rentals
4. Huge walk up a crappy, hilly field
5. The ice-cream guy that works their rips you off
6. Speedball is a joke; crappy setup with half inflated air bunkers
7. Staff are just jerks
8. When you use cupons, you must buy all day air for $25 (which is standard entry fee) AND buy all paintballs there, which are $80 for CRAPPY PAINT!
9. WHAT THE HELL ARE "USED PAINTBALLS"?????!!!!!!?????
10. Speedball is like a MILE away from everything else.
11. Whoever is down at speedball is incapable of filling a tank.
12. Players are jerks
13. Noobs act like UBER-NOOBS
Overall, my experiences there tramatized me. BOYCOTT PBUSA! 0/10! |

| Review: |
Well mostly everyone has give this park a horrible review for a reason. I went here because some of my friends wanted to go and i was like alright. My bro didnt wanna go because of all the bad stuff with it. I also wanted to go because i had a "free game" there when i bought my gun. So i go there and i show the cupon, they said i had to pay 5 bucks for the paint and 10 bucks for co2 (which might be different now). So with my "free game" i had to pay 15 bucks. My mother made me get a locker, which might have been the best decision there. I saw their rental guns and these things were really scared up. So ill put the pros and cons in there:
Pros:
1. Field is big
2. Magic mountain is close
3. Field of fire is on the opposite side of the freeway s
Cons:
1. HIGH PRICES
2. Low quality paintballs (40 dollar quality for 80 bucks)
3. Refs r useless
4. Alot of newbs
5. They try to get as much money from u whenever they can
6. Poor quality field
7. Did i mention HIGH PRICES
8. Anyone can get out of a game, wipe, then come back
9. Cheaters
I can go on and on but those r some key points
What i find funny is if u go to their site, they say they "rent out the highest quality guns" which is false unless u consider beat up 98s or pro caribines high quality |

| Review: |
alright this is the first Field that ive gone to and the only field ive been to throughout my paintball experience. for a beginner its an alright field if u dony mind paying high prices, and playing with other noober level players. the field sucks now because a large portion of the woodsball field, which is the only reason to go to this field, was taken out because some hippies came by and complained because of some of the trees were being screwed up and that they are old, speed ball is pointless because the field set ups suck, there's rocks and debris every where which makes it hard to take a knee unless you are wearing heavy duty knee pads, and they are small. the refs never do there job so whipping is every where, you cant bunker in the capture the flag field, every one is afraid to move up(noobs and others alike), teams are un-evenly matched, it takes forever to get a game started, this place is only good if you are self equipped and have a private session on the ctf field with only about 20 people playing on it cuz it makes it more fun... over all this field gets a 4/10 |

| Review: |
Rating: 2 /10
I have been to this field several times and only once has it been fun. That's why I gave it a generous rating of 2 instead of 1.
Pro: The main field is gigantic and has tons of shade. Once we had a awsome game with over 120 people playing and and the field was big enough to support far more.
Cons: Sadly, the staff take nearly 45 minutes to organize a single game, and the last time I went there was a 2 hour wait in line to start playing.
You should bring YOUR OWN food and equipment if you go to this field.
They force you to use only their paintballs.
(Not cool at all. Even more so when it cost $85 for their standard balls)
NEVER!!! NEVER!!! Never before has anyone ever tried to sell me what their staff called "used paintballs." What is "used paintballs" you might be wondering!? The balls turned out to be the paintballs they were picking off the ground. The guy working the stand must have thought I didn't know better when he told me. There is no excuse for that.

| Review: |
Everybody sayz this place completely sux, but i disgree. The rec ball field is pretty big and the layout with the plateu and the lower town is prett cool. The refs are a little lazy and dont do paintchecks often which leads to a lot of people cheating and wiping off paint, but it just makes for more people to shoot and more times to shoot them and maked it more exhilerating. It is little pricey and parking kinda sux, but the biggest con at this is having to walk all the way up that damn hill every other round, but you cant let that ruin your day. |

| Review: |
As a Referee Inspector for the State of California, I have seen many bad referees. I was fighting in one area of the field, and the referee was telling different players the my location and the locations of other player, causing me to be PoWnEd. I did not like the referees there. The field has many noobs and parties. This can be good and bad. The prices are also slightly high. But paint is unreasonably high. Field is slightly "Ghetto". Everything is made of old boards. |
