The 17-acre Cedar Fair-operated waterpark said the focus this summer will be the on the Waterfront Plaza, a landscaped area that borders Geauga Lake.

"With more than 100 lounge chairs, the Waterfront Plaza will be a prime location to catch a few rays, nap or enjoy the scenic lake views while re-energizing for another round of waves and water slides," the operator said. "It will also have food carts, a dining area with umbrella tables and three shade structures."

"Wildwater Kingdom will also have a new area for private parties. Protruding into the lake, the new Island Oasis Party Cabana will be this summer's party centre. Complete with dining area, private bar and flat-screened televisions, this covered structure will be perfect for birthday parties, family gatherings and company outings."
