I found this interesting article on the now defunct waterpark. I really miss Surf Cincinnati

http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/surf_cincinnati.htm

I always wanted to go there but I will never know, there's a huge church there now.

Great pictures, really brings back some memories.

Wasn't the church that bought the land originally going to re-furbish parts of the waterpark for their own purposes? Like for use in the summertime as a draw to the church?

Seems like there was once a thread on this site debating the philosophy of that.

... actually there was a thread...

Here's the link:

It should be noted that the pics were taken by KIC's own Gordon Bombay!

Amazing to think that this happened in only eight years...
