Wave Pool (Wildwater Kingdom)

Wave Pool at Dorney Park &amp; Wildwater Kingdom, Allentown, Pennsylvania is a water wave attraction. It was open to the public in 1985.

History
The wave pool opened in 1985 as one of the largest man-made wave pools in the United States. That year, Jim Karabasz, a surfing director, taught surfing every day at the pool. In June, the waves were big enough to hold the 1985 World Profesional Inland Surfing Championship.

In 2003, the wave pool was renovated and a pneumatic wave-making system was added which produces a realistic pattern of oceanic waves.

Ride Experience
Waves run on a five-minute on and five-minute off cycle.
