Wings and Waves Waterpark
Evergreen Wings & Waves Waterpark opened June 6, 2011. The 71,350-square-foot waterpark, Oregon's largest, features 10 slides and a 91,703-gallon wave pool with the intent of tying into the educational focus of the Evergreen Museum Campus with its "Life Needs Water" interactive display in the H2O Children's Science Center. The four big slides begin inside a retired Boeing 747-100 that sits atop the roof, 62 feet above the splash landing.

PIXIELAND
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixieland_(Oregon)
Pixieland was an amusement park near Otis Junction (Lincoln Co.) , Ore. about three miles north of Lincoln City.  A 1975 headline in the Oregon Journal declared "Pixieland Dream Goes 'Poof!': Dreams of a multimillion dollar fantasy world shattered into a fiscal nightmare." Opened in 1969, it operated for only four years.
