Sunsplash water parksedit
The locations in Mesa, AZ and Roseville, CA each have a water park attached to their FECs called Sunsplash. These parks charge separate admission and operate in the summer.
The park opened in 1983 and the water park opened in 1986.
In the movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill, Ted, and Napoleon visit a fictional waterpark called Waterloo in San Dimas, CA. The scenes at Waterloo are a cross between establishing shots at San Dimas Raging Waters and shots with the actors at Golfland Sunsplash.
