Grew up in Hesperia with the Beyer's. Went to school with their grand kids and we used to go stay the weekend and swim and ride dirt bikes, late 70s early 80s. Now I'm getting old in Oregon, what a great childhood!
I went to a rave at that water park in 1996. Man it was windy and party went till 6am. Good times!
Was that one of the early editions of EDC?
@@frankyu553 You know I'm not sure the party name. I'm going to look into that, I know a dj who played there and see if he remembers.
Dude, I was at all the early EDC party's. Best times of my life!
How old were u when they opened?
@@its_x9014 I think this place has been open since the early 80's. But my first and only times was when I was at that rave.
I heard on another RUclips page that it might re-open someday.
awesome.
I used to go to Lake Dolores as a kid with my parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. It was the happiest time of our lives. Special fond memories were made. Its a shame new generations won't get to experience it.
My uncle used to talk about this place alot. As he remembers the waterpark. It was a place to party, meet girls, drink beer, camp out, and have some fun. He'd drive from orange county with friends and stay for a few days. This was back in the 80's, but they had a stand up water slide too this didnt mention, which aren't around anymore. The way he talks about this place I wish it was still around or at least other places like it. Now most teens sit at home play games and dont leave the house much.
They're rebuilding this place you can google lake delores waterpark and you can read about it.
Only the owners son's could stand up and slide down..it was to dangerous. The boys were well trained to do it. Nobody else was even allowed to try it. I love that ur uncle had a great time there !!
We used to go around 81 and we were allowed to stand on the slide.
Around 81 82 time frame. We use to be there several times a year. Mastered stand up slide. We got to the point of being able to do 360`s with a flip off at the end. The main rule back then and it was posted No Beerbongs Allowed. Lol. We still had one. Great times
@@jmchugh6051 yeah exactly how my uncle described the slide. Who knows you probly know the guy. His first name was mark. I hear they don't have them anymore. I guess there dangerous.
I was stationed at Ft Erwin in 1984 and we used to go to lake Delores
I visited Lake Deloris 5 times a year from 1975 to 1980 when I was a kid. It was a fun water park. Wish it was still open.😢
I love these little segments they're very educational...good job💯
We used to go in the early eighties. Camping right next to the water. We had so much fun and we were sad to see it go.
Do you remember the stand up slide? It was like surfing.
@@dizzymindy6024 I do, it took a few times to get the hang of it though.
I drive past these two places on my way to /from
Las Vegas.
Thanks for the information.
I found it interesting
I always remember crossing this road when I lived in Vegas and visited Southern California. I had no idea it was "famous".
Right now I’m at Las Vegas and I passed like the abandoned water park it was creepy
Just found this video. I lost a silver dollar necklace (1880's) in that pond before a CRC enduro in the early 80's. We cooled off in the water then dried HOT before getting back to the truck. The water slides at that time were more gruesome than the enduro course. Except for the unexpected mine shafts.....
This was actually really interesting
When I got married in 91 In Las Vegas I seen this water park nearby Baker CA. I passed by a couple of weeks ago and couldn't find it coming back Las Vegas
Still there exit harvard 206 I believe
"Lake Dolores" was a big couple mudhole lakes during it's hayday, with some tables and parking spots and the whole town's younger generation had a place to party and swim .. When they remodeled it into a real waterpark, it made it through one season. I bought season tickets preseason for my whole family :( for the 2nd season, but it never reopened. During the training (for the first season, I think) of the employees, I think one of the trainees did something goofing off possibly, died on one of the slides, and the family sued, or the state shut the park over safety issues.
Interesting, I never heard that story that someone died there.
What town partied there they trailer park across 15? Asking for a friend
The employee, James Mason, was paralyzed, but that wasn’t why the park closed. It lasted a couple more seasons. You can read about his lawsuit here:
caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1009965.html
I was at Lake Dolores in the 70s. I do not believe the other water parks in California existed at the time. Now the can not complete
I just put out a vid on this place 🥳🥳🥳
Why dont make Zzyx road a rest area make use of it so that people can get sleep pull over there tired ???make use of it too
Zzyzx Road should be a rest area; after all, it already caught a few Z's. Cheers!
especially Truckers
I just went there today
Why is the quality of the video uploaded so bad? I had to double check the year it was uploaded.
She’s an eyesore. She’s also a family attraction.
The first time I went there it cost .50 a car
I went to electric daisy at Lake Delores I believe it was the first one. I had a lot of fun
I want see this place .
I know a lot about the property and the problem was the people....it was a great place....
"HIT THE TIRE". This place was legit.
kellen martin is in a beautiful video shot there. cool some of it isbstill visible. or a mirage
240p. This news station still in biz?
The signs Hotels In I-15
Is there any hot springs resort that isn't artificially heated? At least there were actual legit springs others are using tap water
Remember, the summer of 69? It was conceived here. Just kidding.
I went there in the early 70's and picked up girls from California. Good times. JMHO
It was what it was in the 70s haha we knew no difference. I was 15 the last time I was there.
I always thought it was some of kind secret military base or something? Ha ha.. There ya go.. No area 51 there I guess..
I knew how to pronounce the name
Pronunciation: ZAYZIX.!!!
That's correct?
KOOL TV Phoenix, I'm your host Bill Close.
Jessica is pretty 😍
"Zizzicks".
What's so hard about that?!
Sstst St.
Beat mad cheeks at lake Dalores 💪🇺🇸
Wait a minute why are you here again I've been going out there since the early 70s I think you guys need to get a hobby or life or both
All that tribal land wasted.
So what was the reason for the abandonment of the water park? Liability issues? Poor business? You had one job!
