Abandoned waterpark - The Beach 2023 - Mason, OH

[@MrJT312]

This breaks my heart. I spent so many summers here as a kid, to see it decaying and abandoned like this is tough to see.

[@zachwasp9089]

Pisses me off😢

[@destineycaudill3544]

So sad to see it closed down. I remember the excitement of being able to go. Splash moraine too..

[@Adamshamblin-j7l]

Really wish they would have a buyer to reopen an renovate the park since coney shutting down. I love kings island as well but kow itll definitely be over packed so would be nice to have this park reopen

[@lilliallen6639]

i remember going here when i was 9 or 10 with some friends and it’s so scary looking now.. can’t believe it

[@rgarrison1819]

Had so many Great Memories there when My Kids were little in the early 90's,and even through early 2000's!!!,Wish Someone would buy it, Fix it Up and Get it Going again!!!!,Had more fun there, than at Kings Island!!!!

Crossroads church could do it!

The cliff was so intimidating at 12

Thanks for sharing. This is the best dribble video of The Beach that I’ve seen.

[@layoffsliquidations7563]

Mine will be better 👀 imagine being on foot exploring it😅

[@C3T1C]

The water park will either rot in nature or be demolished

[@saundradavis]

I went here once or twice with my Church youth group and had an absolute blast! I just happened to find out The Beach closed years ago, and is left abandoned 😔. How sad!

[@monkeydui7241]

This place easy to get into? Been wanting to explore it

[@Elizabeth45576]

I'm also curious

[@christopherthompson3218]

From an anonymous source it was pretty easy however Mason police frequent the area on foot or dropped off might be best even when open the gates and fence were for show at best

[@jay-dubb.dubb.68]

Dang!! So sad to see the Beach in this shape!! How many years has it been closed? Can it even be re-opened at this point? Enquiring minds want to know!! 🤔

[@UptownWatta]

Great video!! What song is playing

[@tanishav.6066]

I went there once as a little kid and I was too little or too afraid to go on the bigger slides so I was going to wait until I grew up to go back and go on them but it closed down

[@jonc2276]

Wonder what happened with the property I remember it being close to kings island

[@jzombie66]

I didn't know until today that this place was closed down 😢💔 so many great memories were made here as a kid. I cannot tell which of these slides was the one that had the giant snake statues at the end of it

[@dancherry2343]

Dude! I thought it was a tiger, but it was the green one in the back. One of my most favorite rides ever in life, to the point I want to sneak in and get on it anyway

[@Aeon1989]

Lasted a lot longer than Surf Cincinnati thats for sure

[@Dabd000y]

I remember this park I had so many memories as a kid going there I remember saving a kid in the wave pool from drowning

[@thelionkingrules3268]

So brave of you to save a child like that.

It’s hard to compete with Kings Island and they’re Soak City or whatever it’s called. This place has been closed for years. I worked right down the road from here in 2016 and it was closed back then. They may reopened it briefly but it’s been closed as far as I know for a long time.

[@UptownWatta]

Yea it reopened in i think 17 or 18 then closed for good at the end of the 19 season

[@thelionkingrules3268]

Such a shame that this place got shut down for good. I remember I wanted to go here one summer, but I never got to go, and now I never will.

[@brenthelton]

Wonder why this closed? Seems to be a problem with waterparks closing in Ohio. A lot of abandoned places.

[@in3d]

Seasonal business is tough, king's island for instance is able to convert stuff to have haunted houses and Xmas celebration to help keep afloat... I think that's tough at a water park!

[@daddydidnt9700]

It's less than a mile from Kings Island which expanded in 2012 to offer a water park. Unfortunately, it struggled for years due to this. Also the Great Wolf Lodge is an indoor waterpark less than a mile away. 😮‍💨

[@christopherthompson3218]

​@@in3dthey tried that turning some of it into tubing and 🎿 but was not popular

[@KoasterLife]

@@in3dthe main issue is the owners the people who own it now don’t want to open it back up

[@jhoward_06]

That wavepool was awesome back in 2001

[@jacobpitman322]

Come to the beach! Come to the beach!

[@thelionkingrules3268]

Unfortunately, we no longer can. I wanted to go one time, but I never got to, and now I never will.

[@Joezthepro]

damn did covid kill this too?

[@adamisveryweird3854]

No, Kings Island did

[@dancherry2343]

You know that church crossroads can re-open it! Their always doing stuff like that They need to come over here and do what Florida does for their parks. it will help the church even more then ever They could rename it the holy Beach! I don't care! just do anything to bring it back

[@rgrubb45013]

Place was always packed when I was there. I guess a water park in Ohio is hard to make money on only being open about 3 months out of the year.
