History

Origins and founding

Raging Waters was co-founded in 1981 by developer Thomas J. Lochtefeld and Bryant L. Morris, with the first park opening on June 18, 1983, in . As the inaugural location in what would become a chain of water parks, it marked an early entry into the burgeoning water amusement industry during the early 1980s downturn. Lochtefeld, a former attorney and avid er, envisioned the park as a means to blend commercial with his passion for ocean recreation, aiming to bring beach-like experiences inland through innovative water features. The park's initial concept centered on a family-oriented destination that captured Southern California's coastal culture, featuring aquatic designed for relaxation and thrill-seeking alike. Construction was completed in just 100 days, reflecting the urgency to capitalize on the region's warm and growing demand for seasonal . Key original included a large to simulate ocean waves, a dedicated kiddie pool for younger visitors, and several body slides such as the Speed Slides, which provided high-speed descents from elevated platforms. These elements established Raging Waters as a pioneer in themed water recreation, emphasizing safety and accessibility for families. Early operations faced financial hurdles amid the broader economic challenges of the real estate bust, which limited and required creative strategies to attract visitors during the park's debut season. Despite these obstacles, the park drew significant crowds in its first full year of , underscoring public enthusiasm for its novel offerings. This success laid the groundwork for the brand's expansion to additional locations in the following years.

Expansion and ownership changes

Following the opening of the original Raging Waters park in San Dimas in 1983, the chain expanded rapidly across and into during the and , capitalizing on growing demand for water-based recreation. In 1985, Raging Waters San Jose debuted in as one of the first major water parks in , spanning 23 acres with 14 water slides and a 350,000-gallon that drew local families for summer outings (operated until 2023). The chain also incorporated the Sacramento site, initially developed as Waterworld USA at Cal Expo in 1980, which was rebranded under the Raging Waters banner (operated until 2022). By 1983, the brand had reached with the rebranding of the facility from Wild Wave (opened 1979) to Raging Waters, a 15-acre facility in the Glendale neighborhood that had been a local water attraction since the late 1970s but was integrated into the chain to broaden its regional footprint (operated until 2018). Ownership transitions marked key phases of growth and consolidation for Raging Waters. In 1999, New York-based Ogden Corporation acquired the San Dimas park, pairing it with other entertainment assets like Castle Amusement Park for joint management and marketing to enhance operational efficiency. The following year, Ogden sold its theme park division, including Raging Waters, to Alfa Alfa Holdings SA, a investment firm, as part of a broader divestiture of non-core businesses. By the mid-2000s, Palace Entertainment, a subsidiary of , assumed control of the chain's U.S. operations, acquiring properties like Raging Waters Sacramento in 2007 and overseeing expansions such as new slides at the San Dimas location to maintain competitiveness. This period saw the chain peak with five active parks in the 2000s, though the contributed to declining attendance industry-wide, straining maintenance budgets and leading to deferred investments at older sites. In March 2025, , parent company of , purchased Palace Entertainment's U.S. portfolio from , marking its first expansion into and integrating Raging Waters Los Angeles alongside Castle Park. However, by August 2025, Entertainment acquired Raging Waters Los Angeles, along with other assets, from Herschend to further build its portfolio of family entertainment venues.
