Oh to relive the days gone by. _________________ So....uh....yep.

I'm thinking mid to late 80's. They would show movies after dark while you sat in The Wave - bring that back Cedar Fair!!

I remember when the bell would go off and the booming voice appears: "I am THE WAVE!" Then screams from the kids in the deeper ends of the pool as the wave came out from the abyss. That thing was a capacity monster. _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered. Never forget it.

It was my first Wavepool and in my mind still the best one I have ever been in. When I was little I was scared to death of the big wave but I still loved being in it. _________________ Yarp!

I never witnessed "The Wave" but it must have been outdated if Six Flags removed it. Other than the sign (Very cool) and the product (Waves) it kinda had an old look to it, and I think Tidal Wave Bay is a much better pool and is a little more current than "The Wave". I do wish that they paint TWB with a better sealer, I mean the waves are small for it's size and the first time I went it it I skined my knee and it was bleeding a little (I got out of the pool) but for a brand-new pool why would that happen?

Just some hurricane/ tidal wave themeing with buoys and such, and then right before the waves start they start clanging and flashing lights.  The current alarm is a bit dull... And while I never was fortunate enough to experience the Wave, it sounds like it was great.  And the dive in movie actually seems like a great idea.  Doesn't seem like a CF thing to do though... _________________ www.ipetitions.com/petition/geaugalake Top 10 Coasters: 1.)

SF didn't believe in fixing up stuff. They just believed in removing and replacing. They just decided to put the gay looney tunes boomtown there which was a dumb move IMO. The wave's alarm was pretty cool too. I don't remember it going "I am the Wave" though. I wish I did. I was scared of the deepend to. The bottom of the wave pool was a little rough.  I remember getting scraped from it. I just LOVED the backdrop of it. The eyes in the wave was so cool. What memories of the WAVE!
