Anyone remember the Rock-a-hoola waterpark that use to be between Los Angeles & Las Vegas?  It is actually the first waterpark ever created.  It's long abandoned and on one long weekend I dragged the poor wife out to the location for some shots.   Here the video link (youtube.com)  of the Rock-a-hoola opening up for the first time and then the images from my visit to ruins.  Lots of images.

The most incredible thing was the paint on the buildings. They looked like they were still just painted. The colors are vibrant even after sitting in the desert sun beating on them for over ten years. Amazing.

These were the pumps that cycled and moved the water around the park.
