I’m a twenty-something university grad living in the Bay Area with hopes of returning to the world of academia for Japanese, linguistics, or East Asian Studies.
My obsessive-compulsions include stopping the microwave only when the time remaining is divisible by five and reading the fine print on commercials.
My first sip of tea was out of my baby bottle. I make one of the best cuppas you’ll ever taste.
Blue Lagoon Waterslides
As I mentioned on one of my other entries, there was a very small waterpark in the next town over that my elementary school frequented as [it], the local bowling alley (defunct and demolished), and the local skating rink (defunct) were the few venues nearby that didn’t cost an arm and a leg to go to.
Blue Lagoon was off of Pena Adobe Rd (38.33615,-122.016086) and is defunct; however, if you Google it you still get phone numbers and an active address.
The same thing happened while we were at Disneyworld and we’d walk by Venturella.
That was still listed as taking reservations starting at $176/night.
Anyway, I really just wanted to give a bit more history behind Blue Lagoon but also wanted to let you all know that if you’re looking to go there it is very much closed (as is Venturella).

Click-through for more pictures, locations, and other information.
More evidence for my “I have to go to Japan” self-fulfilling prophecy - 5/8 of the parks are there. I wanna go!!!!!!!!!!!
I also still need to find The Blue Lagoon in Vacaville as I remember going all the time, but I don’t remember it ever being torn down.
Sometimes I’m so juvenile; B&E and trespassing like I’m 16 still. >=)
I should go take pictures of Vacaville’s old “Blue Lagoon”.
