    Abandoned pools have something eerie about them. But at the same time it’s also exciting to imagine them filled happy people, happy families, enjoying a day out at the water park.
    The music goes very well with the drone footage, very cinematic!

    It’s amazing to see how broken down or how quickly the earth starts to reclaim the land after just 6 years.
    I would go there, I hate big and large spots, this would be perfect for me. Your music at the end sounds like a Hans Zimmer piece. One of my favorite composers, why I mentioned.
    Drone footage is always a great addition. Another great video

    It looks like this has been a very nice place it’s a shame it’s s now abandoned 🙁
    Hopefully whoever buys this property maintains it as a Water Park . All too often things that are in excellent condition are destroyed and houses or apartments are built in its place .
    I hope this can be resuscitated as a Water Park .
    Thanks for sharing this very interesting video as I said I hope they can bring it back as a Water Park .

    • @JPVideos81

    There were some awesome figures there at one time. including animal figures, (rearing stallion, angus bull, a 55-inch rabbit, 2 carousel-type horses, and a dragon plus many others} It also had a 30 ft.

    The people that own it also own the winery by there. They also own the land around the park. From what I read they weren't sure what they were going to do with it but had some ideas. None involved opening a water park again. Love the drone footage. Can see the layout and so much more. It was a nice little park at one time.

    • @JPVideos81

    Hey Jay...I really enjoy your videos! You pretty much cover everything and the drive chats are actually pretty fun! Being a newbie to your channel I can already tell your a great dad to Lilly and a good guy all around. I have several cats as well. We had fun chatting while you were in Walmart! Having said all that I would definitely go to this Waterpark. We had a place in my neighborhood called Wet Willie's which was atop a large rock cut cliff next to a major highway. Very special memories as it was torn down shortly after my High School Graduation in 1980. It's both cool and sad to see these abondoned structures but its educational to see things of yesteryear. As always thank you so much for providing us with a unique perspective of your videos. The Drone footage was awesome! In conclusion your respectfullness to not taking anything is just another example of the first class guy you are. I know you are planning down the road a route 66 video. Being from St. Louis, Mo. there are several venues on route 66. Ofcourse Jay I'm not trying to tell you what to include or where to go but, when We can get back out to a somewhat normal life I will send you some brochures and literature on some of what my area has to offer if you choose to come this far out! I love trains and have an extensive H O. Scale layout I started in 1978. Love trains and pretty much all your videos cover! I'm currently on sick leave due to Covid-19 but will be back to work June 1st. So your channel has meant a lot to me being stuck at home. Sorry for being long. A bad habit of mine! Stay safe and look forward to hopefully the fire chat and Chinese dinner!☮

    You got to realize Jay, back in 2014 we were just coming out of a really crappy recession with a bad economy, and if new water parks had just went up... People are going to try out the new water park first. So I imagine after several years of a tough economy yeah I can understand why they closed. I don't think it would be too much to get it going again by the looks of it, I'm sure the insurance would kill you. Yeah it would be nice to get it going again, so yeah I would like to go, but I don't see that happening.
    We used to have a really cool water park around here it kind of reminds me of but ours was a lot bigger, Wacky Waters in Davenport, Ia. Alongside I-80 at the end of Flying Js Truck Stop Road, When I was a kid I used to go at least once a year if I could... They're closed in the early 2000 timeframe. I miss it there's nothing left, used to be a lake, and it's even gone. I think all that's left is the tower for the slides, the fire department use it for training I believe. I still got to remember one of the 3 big slide, super high with a sudden drop, I can't remember how tall but it was wild! You wouldn't like it with your afraid of heights. Called The Bonsai, and you would scream Bonsai as you went down it! Miss that place.
    ruclips.net/video/kqYkRD5hQ3A/видео.html
    ruclips.net/video/GO9hoOIMhMQ/видео.html
    Be nice to see somebody get that place there and get it going again but yeah probably not going to happen.... You know, I think some of these water parks haven't quite figured it out when they're out in the country like that and they got plenty of Farmland aroun with a good water supply, grow some pumpkins in the spring on the fields around in the farmland, and kids have fun during the summer at the waterpark and then have a pumpkin patch in the fall. You can light it up and decorate it for Christmas, and have a visit with Santa at the North Pole, maybe some tubing down the Frozen slides for a wild ride....When you can extend your season you make always more money.... 😉👍

    The best type of water park is a flowing creek with some pools you can jump in.

    This is an interesting find because you wouldn't expect it there. This place is cool and I can only imagine it being the hang out spot in the summer for kids. It's so sad to see these small places close up. Very awesome!

    IIve seen this park a million times as my daughter went to college at Kutztown up the road. Always facinated by it and wondered about it. Thanks for preserving it forever :) (and yes I would definitely love to have gone there. I dont like the big commercial places like Dorney)

    Fun explore. I would go to this water park if the price was right(closer to home). Too bad about the location, I'm sure that in a different spot it would still be in business. Awesome addition of the drone footage Jay, gives a better perspective of size and layout of the park. Be safe 👍😷🖖

    hi, i was there in the early '80's when I used to work in Boyertown pa. it was a fun place to visit and it was cheap to go and have fun back then. the walk to the top of the hill to do the slides was not pleasant as the black top was rough and hot. the slides were ok, this was before the fiberglass slides were in big time use at large parks like today. wildwater kingdom was not even around when I was going there as that section of dorney park was their race track and a parking lot. pass by there occasionally and always wondered what it looks like up close now since I have not seen it open for a long time when I visit dorney. thank you for the great video. d.
