[edit] History
Since its opening in 1985, The Beach has remained a privately owned and operated facility. Vice President and General Manager Pamela Strickfaden and Assistant General Manager Todd Nahrup joined the company during the park's development period and remain the park management team. Recently, with the reconstruction and modifications of King's Island's Boomerang Bay waterpark, The Beach has steadily been losing passholders and visitors to King's Island, mainly due to poor service. In addition, some rides are not even open on some days, which caused many families to switch to King's Island.
Since early 2000's, The Beach would feature local DJ's on Tuesday nights for their Club Aqua teen night. Teenagers from all over the Cincinnati and Dayton Metro areas come and meet new people and enjoy themselves.
