    The Tru Drone team headed out to an abandoned water park in the middle of the California desert. It's just off the 15 freeway near Barstow. This water park has had a few different names over the years, but it is most commonly known as Lake Dolores
    Update (02/11/2022)
    It seems that they will start rebuilding the park soon. They do indeed plan to reopen it. The park will consist of 4 Motocross tracks, 2 Razor ATV tracks, a Concert Arena, a 40 space RV campground with hookups, and the old Lazy River will reopen but the old King of the Hill water slide will not, that it will be going away. Out behind the facility there will also be an Off-road racing track that will be partially on the park grounds and sprawl out into the desert like the Stoddard Off-road area managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

      It's hard to believe what happened to it. But at the same time, it's not that hard to believe. Given its location, climate, and also the evolution of other waterparks, this was almost inevitable. It blows my mind that they're trying to open it up again
