[edit] History

When opened, advertisements declared the park to be a stunning "Beach Within Reach". The water park was advertised as a simulated beachside landing, featuring the very first wave pool, and public and private cabanas. Although these things are still continued to this day, White-Water has been expanded extremely to meet the thrill needs of the modern era.
