Splish Splash was built in 1989, headed by Chip Cleary with the original owners being the same as Adventureland. It opened in May 1991 with three body slides, two speed slides, two kiddie pools, two tube slides, a lazy river, and a restaurant. In 1995, the Lazy River opened. The park has been owned and operated by Palace Entertainment since 2001. Today the lazy river is 1,300 feet (400 m) long and is accompanied by 19 water slides and a wave pool. It spans over 90 acres (360,000 m2). In 2006, Splish Splash added a new funnel-shaped ride called Alien Invasion.
