From the Archives: Big drop offers big screams at Raging Waters

Staff photographer Al Seib reported, “It was impossible to get her name as she didn’t come back to the top for another ride.”
Seib’s use of a wide-angle lens makes the 80-foot drop at Raging Waters in San Dimas appear to be closer to a 200-foot drop.
This photo, taken at the water park at Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park, appeared in the Aug. 1, 1987, Los Angeles Times.
