The Tidal Wave
Opened in 1981, the Tidal Wave Pool quickly became one of Action Park’s most popular—and most dangerous—attractions.
It earned the nickname “The Grave Pool” after multiple drownings, including the first in 1982 and another five years later. What truly set it apart, however, was the staggering number of near-misses and rescues that occurred daily.
