Turning the Valve

May 7, 2012 By Alison 3 Comments

Some people flip a switch. Some yell, “Let the games begin!” Around here, summer can’t begin until we turn the valve. That valve opens up the floodgates which begins the 24 hour process of filling each of our rivers. In this case, we turned the valve on Friday afternoon to begin filling the new River [...]

Opening a New Lazy River? This Sounds Familiar.

May 4, 2012 By Sam 2 Comments

The blogger, then a ripe ole age of 21, enjoys a beverage during a private employee ride session.

Back in my junior year in college, I was lucky enough to intern at Conneaut Lake Park in Northwestern Pennsylvania. In its then-99th season, the Flynn Family undertook its largest single capital project to date- the construction of a Lazy River. Lots of coincidences here, as we fast forward to 2012, and here at Raging [...]

Where’d We Go?

May 2, 2012 By Tim 6 Comments

Hmmm, so we really haven’t posted much on the blog in the last couple weeks. I wish I could tell you that there was some other reason other than we are just busy, but honestly I can’t. I have to admit that we let you guys down on this one. I received a email from [...]

The Art of FUN!

January 23, 2012 By Alison 7 Comments

Another view of Wipeout. New at Ocean Oasis for 2012.

It’s hard to imagine what Raging Waters and Ocean Oasis will look like for the 2012 season with dust and bulldozers everywhere. To help inspire our engineers and architects, Jack commissioned Neal McPheeters, an accomplished local painter, to create high quality painted renderings of our two new waterpark attractions. McPheeters has contributed illustrations for books [...]

After many months of research, planning, and preparation we have finally started to construct the walls and rockwork for the new River Adventure. The research started with a visit to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon (still one of my favorite waterparks in the world) and literally walking the river with camera hand. While learning to [...]

From Jingle Bells to Buzz Saws

January 13, 2012 By Alison Leave a Comment

Just a few weeks ago, the air was filled with Christmas tunes and the warm scent of gingerbread. Alas, holidays have waned and workdays returned with the sounds of buzz saws and the scent of progress (or dust, but aren’t they the same thing really?). At Raging Waters, crews are moving along bringing the renderings [...]

Still Shopping?

December 28, 2011 By Alison Leave a Comment

If you’re like me, you do your Christmas shopping in waves: Wave 1- Before Christmas for the people you’re actually going to see on the days surrounding December 25th. Wave 2- As needed after the holiday, but before New Years for the sprinkling of gatherings that may occur. Wave 3- After New Years for yourself [...]
