History

The park was founded in 1979, on 4 acres (16,000 m2) of land with four water slides. It has since grown to 30 acres (120,000 m2), housing 35 slides, among other water-related attractions. In 2009, the park bought 2.2 acres (8,900 m2) just north of the park for $2.2 million.

In 2000, Miami born rapper, Trina shot her video "Pull Over" at the Park.

In 2009, the MTV reality show Jersey Shore requested to film at the park, but were denied.

Rapids Water Park celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2009, inviting the racecar driver Danica Patrick to the park for the festivities.

The park appears in the film Donnie Brasco during the water park scene.
