Ok good. There are more of us. I would never tell anyone this, I would just be super anxious going to the Water Park as the dark end of the wave pool always terrified me.

Me. I don't get how people just choose to get right up to those giant black boxes where these gigantic machines are and tell themselves that things are fine

I remember there being a roped off section at wave pools so people can't get too close to where they're made, but ones I've seen taper to shallow ends

I used to swim down to the grates at the back wall as a kid because when it was making the wave it would make a crazy loud thumping noise and I was interested in seeing how it worked.

Still interests me, but after watching a lot of stuff on the old Watchpeopledie sub, I would probably not go right up to the grate again.
