CLEMENTON PARK AND SPLASH WORLD ANNOUNCES HUGE NEW EXPANSION 23,000 SQUARE FOOT “BIG WAVE BAY” WAVE POOL PART OF LARGEST EXPANSION IN SPLASH WORLD HISTORY
Clementon, NJ (February 29, 2012) - Clementon Park and Splash World announced today the largest expansion in the water park’s history including the addition of the 23,000-square foot Big Wave Bay wave pool. This new massive attraction starts making waves this Memorial Day Weekend when the Park opens its gates for its 105th consecutive operating season.
Clementon Park and Splash World was acquired in November 2011 by an investor group led by former Six Flags executives Kieran Burke and Gary Story. At the time of the acquisition the new owners promised significant improvements in time for the 2012 season.
“We are thrilled to be bringing such a large, spectacular, family-friendly attraction to Clementon Park and Splash World so soon after acquiring the Park,” said Burke. “This extraordinary wave pool and its enormous capacity puts our water park on par with the best in the country and lines up perfectly with whom we are and what we offer – two great parks in one showcasing quality, close-to-home family entertainment at an affordable price.”
Included in the expansion are new restrooms, changing rooms and ten gigantic 20’ shade structures installed throughout the expansion to provide comforting shade on those super sunny summer days. Two major food service facilities are being expanded to offer popular fare and to drastically increase speed of service. The Park is also introducing its first Tiki Bar, offering adult beverages and big screen television viewing. And new cabanas, getting installed atop the famous cylindrical Cove Restaurant, will offer Guests shade, comfort and exclusive privacy while overlooking the frolicking fun at Big Wave Bay or the beauty of sparkling Clementon Lake.
“The addition of Big Wave Bay marks the fifth, and most sensational, major attraction introduced at Clementon Park and Splash World in the last five years,”, said David Dorman, the Park’s General Manager. “The changes have been truly transformational. If a family has not been here before, or not visited in a while, they will be wowed by improvements.”
Now residents living in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area will have their very own “swim club” right in their own back yard and the best way to enjoy it all summer long is with a Clementon Park and Splash World season pass, now just $54.99 each, plus tax. Now and for a limited time only go to clementonpark.com and purchase four (4) season passes and get a season-long parking pass FREE!
Clementon Park and Splash World, located in Clementon, NJ, is among the oldest operating parks in the country and has been operating since 1907. Founded by NJ Assemblyman Theodore Gibbs as a simple swimming operation on Clementon Lake, the property steadily grew by offering rides, attractions and a water park. Other recent additions include Laguna Kahuna, a five-story, one-acre Polynesian water play land; Ring of Fire, a thrilling 60-foot looping coaster; Thunder Drop featuring a 100-foot free fall; and Torpedo Rush, the world’s tallest dueling trap door speed slides. Today the park boasts 17 rides, a vibrant midway and 8 major water park attractions and hosts hundreds of group outings each season.

CLEMENTON PARK AND SPLASH WORLD
Improvements Planned for 2012 Season
Clementon, NJ (November 21, 2011) - Clementon Park and Splash World has been acquired by an investor group led by former Six Flags executives Kieran Burke and Gary Story. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“We are excited about the opportunity to enhance the entertainment value of this historic park that has always enjoyed a strong group outing business and local market visitation,” said Burke. “Clementon Park and Splash World offers guests quality family entertainment, close to home and at an affordable price.”
“While exploring the opportunity to acquire Clementon Park and Splash World, we were impressed by the park’s loyal customer base and the densely-populated South Jersey/Philadelphia area that surrounds the park”, commented Burke. “Having operated for 104 years, the park has entertained generations of families and we hope to continue that tradition as well as attract new visitors to the park.”
Clementon Park and Splash World has been revitalized in recent years with the addition of four major new attractions. The park enjoys a reputation for service, cleanliness and affordability. Staying on board to lead the park’s continued development and progress is David Dorman, Vice President and General Manager and Marjorie Ford, the park’s longtime Group Sales Manager.
Burke and Story, who respectively served as Six Flags’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer for more than 10 years, have remained active in the attractions industry carefully selecting projects that can benefit from their experience and a focused investment of both time and resources. In 2009, they acquired Nashville Shores, a water park, marina and RV resort in Nashville, TN and in 2010 purchased Ocean Breeze Water Park in Virginia Beach, VA. In both cases the pair dramatically transformed these properties providing a greatly enhanced guest experience.
The new owners are planning improvements to Clementon Park and Splash World for the 2012 season which will be announced at a later date. Discussions are underway but specific plans are not yet available.
