House Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Is this place worth visiting? I tried to view it from the Eiffel Tower to try and get an idea of how it was, but I coudn't see it. Was I just missing it, or is the park really that small? Quote
HTCO Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I've always wanted to go but sadly I never had. I've only been during their winterfest. I REALLY want to go this summer some how. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 The Beach is a bit too far away to be seen from the Eiffel Tower - it's nestled back in the woods on the other side of I-71. However, it is definitely worth visiting. They have something for everyone, and a much better atmosphere than Boomerang Bay (real sand, more trees and a lot less concrete). Quote

westcoaster Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Cedar Fair should by it, build a train between the two waterparks HA HA(just dreaming). No really the beach is great, Do they need a new attraction yes they do!! for sure,,,,hopefully they get one??????? soon Quote
maverick2007 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 According to screamscape they bought one of the old Wyandot Lake slides. Maybe thats what we'll see in a year or so. Quote
Hoeter Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I haven't been to The Beach in about 5 years or so and I have never been to Boomerang Bay, even though I have a Gold Pass. The Beach was a lot of fun when I went before, especially the wave pool. It's definately worth checking out. Quote
derek9312 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 According to screamscape they bought one of the old Wyandot Lake slides. Maybe thats what we'll see in a year or so. When I went to Bob Evans a few weeks ago I saw what appeared to be pieces for an enclosed water slide in the field across the street from there. I'm not sure if that is exactly what I saw and I had no idea if they were parts to an old water slide that they had or if it was possibly for a new slide that they would put in. Since I had no idea I took pictures of it but the quality isnt the best. Ill try to upload them if I can if you guys want me to. I'll do a little more research on this slide that screamscape says they bought and see if it could match what I saw. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I saw the same track peices you are talking about last year. I thought the slide was going to open up this year. Maybe they need to clear some room out first. I haven't been to the beach but once when I was little. It was a fun place to visit. I mighthave to make a return trip some time. Quote
Blake Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I love the beach waterpark the watersides are amazing. I would go if I were you. Quote
derek9312 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 After a little bit of research, The Beach actually bought 2 slides from the old Wyandot Lake so maverick2007 was correct. The Beach received Jet Stream and Zuma Falls after they were auctioned off and it was rumored that one of them were going to be installed for this season. Below is a picture of the pieces that I saw. Again not really the best picture but you can see what I was talking about. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 The Beach is a wonderful park and offers a unique perspective on waterparks. Their winter event, Holiday Fest is a lot of fun too. Quote
TBW Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I was thinking about going some time too! Don't forget Dive in Movies start June 27th! Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Aztec Adventure is still my favorite slide. Although our boat was next to go and all of sudden it past closing time and we had to get up (we were already sitting down ready to go)30min wait gahh. Quote
Beast1979 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 The Beach is an excellent place, kicks the living pa-tooty out of Boomerang Bay. Great atmosphere, great rides, great park. Quote
TopThrill Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 The only thing I didn't like about the Beach water park was, back in 2005 a full week before I went the temp was over 90 plus so that water had to have been heated up. But the day I went the temp was around 80 degrees, and one step in the wave pool did it for me, the water was cold, felt like it had been keep in ice. It was so cold I could hardy stand it, after that I have never been back. We did ride everything there that day. My favorite slide is the Cliff, and that rapids inner tube ride. Only thing you can see it the Cliff, up top on Drop Tower, don't know about Eiffel Tower. Quote
maverick2007 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Thank you for those pictures derek9312. Does anyone know what kind of slides those are? Are they tube or body slides is my big question. Quote
TheCryptRaider Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 It IS a great park. I used to get season passes there instead of KI when I was littler, and I'd go all the time. Aztec Adventure along with The Rapids thing are the best things there. DO NOT miss Snake River Rapids if you go. That ride is so fun, and usually has very short lines. Quote
PREMiERdrum Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Thank you for those pictures derek9312. Does anyone know what kind of slides those are? Are they tube or body slides is my big question. At Wyandot Lake they were Zuma Falls (tan) and The Jet Stream (black). They are both made for single/double tubes. The Jet Stream, in particular, was an awesome ride. Mostly in pitch black, except one segment where you felt like you were going to pop right off the slide. Zuma Falls was an open slide with lots of extra water features. I'll be interested to see how they operate when reopened, as Six Flag's maintenance at Wyandot Lake was abysmal. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I believe the Beach bought those slides for only around $500 plus the cost of transportation. Quote
FlightofFear123 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I love "The Beach" we go every year once. i think its worth it. we always have fun you should try it Quote
PREMiERdrum Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I believe the Beach bought those slides for only around $500 plus the cost of transportation. Yep. The prices things went for at that auction were absurd (I was there). They did have to dismantle the slides themselves, but still what a deal! Quote
CincinnatiCyclone Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 The ride they bought has been sitting on a lot for almost two years. Quote
padfoot714 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I used to go to The Beach with my swim team every summer and it was always a blast. The endless lazy river policy there is far superior to Boomerang Bay. The overall quality of the rides is much better as well, IMO. Aztec Adventure is a must ride. Quote
Coney Islander Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 The Beach is an excellent place, kicks the living pa-tooty out of Boomerang Bay. Great atmosphere, great rides, great park. In my opinion, The Beach is A LOT of a bit better than Boomerang Bay. Not only all that stuff but it is a great price for all it offers. Quote
