Sesame Place was not too evil! (It was hellishly hot, but that's not Jim Henson's fault.) There's a ton of watery stuff -- water slides, crazy spurting fountain pools, rafting river -- so if your kids like water they will have a blast. 42" is the height requirement to go alone on almost everything. Also there is a great enclosed climbing rope/net thing that is about 3 stories tall. Slide/ride lines can be long, so go early on a weekday if you can. And BYO food -- everything in the park is insanely expensive.

We keep our unread mags (New York, Brain Child, Dwell, and Harper's) in a pile in the family room that I occasionally notice. Also, any feedback on Sesame Place would be welcome. A friend just went and claimed it was "not an evil theme park." So I'm curious if you agree. Roz Chast rules! As does the abbrev. TOT.
