When I was a kid I hated to go anywhere near those big drains on the sides. I used to get sucked up against the grates all the time. I did find 18 bucks floating around in there once though

@coasterdadGL Yeah, I guess that was the other one. I only went there once I think when it was Six Flags. Most of my time there was in the 80's and early 90's and then we were there the last 2 seasons.

@PianoShapedObject - This is the old Wave pool that was where Kidzworks was at GL. It as closed in 1999 and covered up. The wave pool you are referring to was installed by Six Flags and abandoned when Cedar Fair took over the park in 2004.

I'm pretty sure they didn't actually remove it when they closed it, they just walled around so you couldn't see that section of the park anymore from the ground but from the Big Dipper there was a point where you could see The Wave and what was left of Turtle Beach all deserted and nasty filled with green algae. I remember thinking they either need to redo that section or take the stuff out because that kind of view isn't good for a park and then they closed after that season.

How do you have this footage!? I was probably in there! Amazing! I want to find an image of the painting where the wave came out. As I remember, it was a big angry faced wave...
