Ceriwis - Rock-a-Hoola Waterpark

Many of you may not remember this waterpark. Here are some images from my visit to this place with some info on the abandoned park area. 
 
Lake Dolores Waterpark (also known as Lake Dolores, Rock-A-Hoola Waterpark, or Discovery Waterpark), is a defunct <a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com/wiki/Waterpark" target="_blank">waterpark</a> on a 273 <a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com/wiki/Acre" target="_blank">acres</a> (110 <a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com/wiki/Hectare" target="_blank">ha</a>) recreational area named Lake Dolores in <a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com/wiki/Newberry_Springs" target="_blank">Newberry Springs</a>, <a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com/wiki/California" target="_blank">California</a>. 
 
Even though <a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com/wiki/George_Millay" target="_blank">George Millay</a> is credited with creating the <a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com/wiki/Wet_%27n_Wild" target="_blank">world's first water park</a> in 1977, Lake Dolores was considered a water park when it added slides and other water elements in the 1950s.[<a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" target="_blank">citation needed</a>]
