Hold onto your floaties, SoCal—Dolly Parton just made a huge splash in our backyard! 🎢💦 That’s right, the queen of country’s Dollywood parent company has officially acquired Raging Waters in San Dimas—which means the home of epic water slides and summer memories is now under the same (pool) umbrella as Dollywood itself! 🌊👒
But wait, there’s more! Dolly’s team didn’t stop at just one park. They also scooped up Boomer’s in Irvine and Industry plus Castle Park in Sherman Oaks—making this the first time her brand has expanded into Southern California. And with this move, they’ve officially become the 4th largest theme park owner in the U.S.!
So, what does Dolly have in common with Raging Waters? Well, besides both being absolute icons…
✔️ They know how to bring the fun!
✔️ They keep things BIG (big hair, big slides—same energy!)
✔️ And now, they’re part of the same entertainment family!
Could this mean a little Southern charm coming to SoCal’s favorite water park? A “Jolene” lazy river? A “9 to 5” waterslide? The possibilities are as endless as a summer day at Raging Waters! 🌞
Either way, one thing’s for sure: Dolly knows how to make a splash—whether it’s on stage or in a wave pool! 💖🎤💦
