Unless you want a tube in the Wave pool, you don't have to rent anything, so don't worry about it.

The rental of a tube allows you the privelage of using it in hte wave pool, and being able to stay in the lazy river as long as you want.

I heard that tubes are nine dollars, and that just seems like a waste. Like mentioned above, all the tube slides give you free ones, and the only thing you would really use the tube for would be the wave pool or possibly the lazy river (not sure about lazy river). It really is a waste of money.

You guys are forgetting that you don't have to wait at the bottom of the slide for a tube and you get to go right on the lazy river at the express entrance.

To some people its worth it, others its not

unless you want to ride the Lazy river, then no a tube isn't needed...
most of the rides in HH don't require a tube...

Tube price did go up from last year.

Also, in June, tubes werent required for the lazy river. Is that still allowed or is it back to the same rules as last year?

^ Nope, you can still go in the Lazy River without a tube. I did that 4 times today. And there was actually a 10 min. wait or so for a yellow tube on the lazy river, so I waited. But it's more fun without a tube anyway. There's a pretty strong current that lets you glide without a tube.

And rental tubes are $9 for a single, $11 for a double. That's insane. :roll:
