It used to be on, or near 72nd & Grover. You used to be able to see it as you drove by on I-80.

Yup, 72nd & I-80. There's a landscaping place there now I think.

Speaking of waterslides, does anyone remember the Top Dog Waterslides in Bellevue? It was on 25th and Cornhusker. They ripped it down sometime in the late 90's. I loved that place as a kid.

One of my regrets as a kid growing up here in the 80s is that my parents never took me there. Such is life....

Here is a 2009 Aerial Photo. You can still see most of the foundation. The RED Arrow is whats left of the pool and the blue arrow is whats left of the top area:

If I was a billionare, I would buy 50 acres a little west of Omaha, and rebuild Top Dog, Moby Dick, WC Franks, and Peony Park. All within walking distance of each other, and always have the ambience of the 80's.
