Plans for a $20-million Inland Empire water park set to open in May 2009 call for a 500,000-gallon wave pool, a family raft ride and 15 to 18 slides around an iconic mountain centerpiece.
Located in Ontario’s Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park in San Bernardino County, the 25-acre water park would be open May through October, according to the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. (Hat tip to BlooLoop, the amusement industry news site.)
The as yet unnamed park — officials are still seeking a corporate sponsor — will be located within a few blocks of Ontario Mills Mall, Ontario International Airport and the California Speedway near the intersection of the 10 and 15 freeways.
The tropical- and nautical-themed water park will feature a trio of slide towers — one for thrills, one for inner tubes and another sprouting from the central mountain. Other amenities include a treehouse play structure for kids, a water spray area and one or two lazy rivers (a separate children’s waterway is under consideration).
Plans for a magnetic-lift uphill water coaster have been put on hold because of maintenance concerns, but the innovative ride remains a “strong consideration” for future expansion, water park officials said.
