Lucky Strike Entertainment, one of the world’s premier owner/operators of location-based entertainment, today announced the acquisition of two iconic water parks, Raging Waters Los Angeles and Wet ‘n Wild Emerald Pointe, and three high-performing family entertainment centers: Castle Park in Riverside, CA; Boomers Vista, CA; and Boomers Palm Springs, CA. These venues attract over 1.5 million annual guests and reinforce Lucky Strike’s growing presence in the waterpark, amusement, and family entertainment center formats.

“This acquisition accelerates our vision to build the leading platform of location-based entertainment destinations in North America,” said Thomas Shannon, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Lucky Strike Entertainment. “Each of these properties has deep roots and established guest loyalty in their communities. We see tremendous opportunity to elevate the guest experience and continue our playbook of strategic investment in high-return opportunities to expand our portfolio, create network economies between the assets, and reshape the future of entertainment.”

Raging Waters Los Angeles, located in San Dimas, is the largest water park in California and has been a summer tradition for generations of Southern California families. Set across approximately 60 acres, the park features more than 50 attractions, including 14 signature water slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, and splash zones. It draws approximately 450,000 visitors annually. The park remains one of the most iconic and recognizable water destinations on the West Coast.

Wet ‘n Wild Emerald Pointe in Greensboro, North Carolina, is one of the largest and most recognizable water parks in the Southeast. Spanning 40 acres with over 40 attractions, including high-thrill slides, a massive wave pool, and family-friendly splash zones, it has built a loyal following as a top destination for seasonal recreation across the Piedmont Triad region over the last few decades.

Castle Park in Riverside, California, is a 24-acre regional amusement park with deep roots in the Inland Empire. Originally developed by amusement industry pioneer Bud Hurlbut in 1976, the park blends nostalgic charm with more than 20 rides, four themed miniature golf courses, midway games, and a two-story arcade. Castle Park attracts over 250,000 visitors annually and benefits from its high-visibility location along the 91 Freeway.

Boomers Vista, in North San Diego County, is a high-quality family entertainment center featuring go-karts, laser tag, batting cages, two 18-hole mini golf courses, and a 99-game arcade. With roughly 150,000 visitors annually, Boomers Vista has long been a popular destination for birthday parties, group outings, and year-round family fun.

Boomers Palm Springs offers a vibrant mix of indoor and outdoor attractions on 3.5 acres in the heart of the Coachella Valley. The park includes go-karts, bumper boats, a rock wall, batting cages, three mini-golf courses, and over 85 arcade games. It welcomes both the local community and tourists seeking a unique family-friendly experience.

In closing, Thomas Shannon stated, “This is a major step in our long-term strategy. Each of these properties complements our portfolio, adds to our scale economies and the network effects of having a nationwide, rain-or-shine offering for our valued guests.”
