During our drive to las vegas yesterday, we stumbled upon an abandoned water park off the highway in newberry, halfway to vegas & Los Angeles. The park's name is Rock-A-Hoola, and closed down permanently in 2004. Since it was abandoned for nearly seven whole years, the park was trashed, broken into, and dilapidated. We were able to take a quick tour though of the interior, which had many of their shops & buildings- All which were already vandalized. Debris of all kinds were all over the place, including some employee files that were stored by management, now on the ground. The front gates were once fenced off when they closed, but after years of no control, the fences were taken out. We nearly passed it up, until we noticed the sign advertising the waterpark which didn't look like one at first look. And of course on the way back which was probably 1 or 2 am, the park was PITCH BLACK. Would you tour there at night after seeing the photos?? See what it looks like now > The park before it closedSee What The park Is Like NOW >>

if memory serves, there was severe injury of an employee testing a slide or screwing around after hours that led to a massive lawsuit that shut the place down. 4/5/2011 02:28:18 pm
I read about this, but I couldn't confirm whether it was this that did it or their severe financial issues (ch. 11 bankruptcy). 4/5/2011 02:45:58 pm
In fact, I highly doubt that this accident was the fault for it's closing. The accident was in 1999, and the judge said that the water park had nothing to do with it as it happened after hours when he wasnt scheduled.
