  • Surf Cincinnati had been constructed in 1984. Tucked back between industrial centers and I-275, the water park sat right at the border of Hamilton and Butler counties. The park was the only of its kind on the west side, while similar attractions could be found to the northeast at places like Kings Island and The Beach. According to its website in 1997: "Soak up the sun or brave the water thrills and four foot waves at Surf Cincinnati's Super Surf, Cincinnati's largest wave pool! Broad, landscaped walkways lead to modern well-maintained attractions.. a spacious sun decks, splashed with colorful umbrellas.. a backdrop of sighing pines and bright banners snapping in the breeze. This is truly a family park, run by people who like things
    pleasant and convenient."

    It’s hard to believe that at one point in time, Greater Cincinnati actually had 4 water parks! They were: Coney Island, Surf Cincinnati, The Beach, and WaterWorks at Kings Island. Now, I live in hot, humid Miami, Florida where isn’t a single water park. The last one in the area was “Atlantis: The Water Kingdom”, which was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and never rebuilt.

    Great video! I can’t believe how much remains. Too bad the park closed, it look liked it was a nice place.

    Oh I have so many memories there from sliding down the blue bullet, going to caddy's, going to the splash dances and my favorite was the go karts. It was called Sebring raceway. Still have my pass from 93

    Used to live not far from there and remember being excited to go there. I used to have a blast and remember how sad i was when it closed. Brings back childhood memories.

    Awesome they let you explore there. Nice catch of what's left! Last time I was there, was for Saturday night car shows in the parking lot. 20 years ago. Wondered if you would make a video here! Very cool! Look forward to seeing the next Cincy video.

      @@MatthewSkiba tons of memories there. I was actually in a commercial for them in the 90s. When they added a section to the kids area. So much nostalgia. Keep up the great work. Top notch quality videos.
