AQUARENA SPRINGS SLIDESHOW - IT IS NOW DISMANTLED!!!
Aquarena Springs Slideshow. Worked at Aquarena Springs in 1985-87, here is a slideshow of how it was neglected before its downfall, how sad to see a part of one's youth, and Texas history destroyed FOREVER!!!. IT IS NOW DISMANTLED!!! In the 1950s, construction of a submarine theater and large spillway at one end of the lake to produce a swimming pool led to the opening of an amusement park at the site in 1951. Other features of the park were the Alpine Swiss Sky Ride (a Von Roll skyride), an Intamin AG 220 foot Sky Spiral that moved vertically above the lake and rotated 360º, and mermaid performers that could be viewed from the submarine theater. By far, the most popular attraction was Ralph, the Famous Swimming Pig. Ralph swam in the Underwater Show performing tricks and his famous swine dive until the park closed. At its peak, Aquarena Springs attracted 250,000 visitors annually.
