I started going in 2000 because we'd always go to Sea World.

The bottom of the old wave was far from being smooth. I think it would have been worse actually if you skinned your knee in there.


I remember skinning my knee on the bottom a few times it did hurt but not as much as when I skinned my knee in Renegade River which is Cedar Point/ Soak City's "wild" lazy river.

I was fortunate enough to go to one of the Dive In Movies at the Wave.  I think that the Wave should come back.  Start off the 10 min wave cycle with a large 6 foot wave and then have the smaller waves follow it.  Now that would be cool.

Wyandot Lake had dive-in movies up until last year. It may have been a FUNTIME thing. As a season pass holder, when we got our "coupon" books, there was always a coupon for a free popcorn, which was nice. Now I never wound up going t the dive-ins, but I heard they were popular.

Of course, now our wavepool is a pile of rubble, so Im not sure whether or not The Zoo will continue the tradition in 2008 with the new waterpark.

I know I have seen pics. of it. I want to go visit it. I love Wave Pools especially if they have waves higher than 2 feet.

I think it was too ^. I think it was in a great location but now that I think of it, it was in the middle of the actual ride section kind of.

I was working at the park the first day the wave opened. The funny thing is, when it was full of guests the water level rose. The first wave launch spilled out the end and washed chairs, towels and the grass that was planted around it, down the path and up the step of the Wharf. I remember saying to my coworkers, "leave it to Geauga Lake to build the worlds largest toilet bowl and have it overflow". Shortly after they added a small wall around it.

Its common sense that when you add water to a pool...never fill it to high because of buoyancy! lol. Must of been a pretty funny sight.
