Aquarena Springs

I am looking for information on Aquarena Springs if anyone knows anything about it, or whats left of it.

Mostly, I am looking for information, I have a physical address - not because I want to UER it, but because our company just received an Invitation To Bid on some student housing apartments and the address is Aquarena Springs Dr. Theres no numbers on it, but I am wondering if the city might be planning to build apartments/dorms there?

Any info would be helpful.

My daughter used to live in San Marcos, actually on Aquarena Springs Drive. It has been a while, so I don't know if she will know. I just texted her to see if she knows anything, or knows anyone who might know. I'll let you know.

What do you want to know about it? I went to college at SWTSU in the 70's when it was open and popular. We used to sneak in at night and scuba the river. Used to be a cave behind the waterfall under the old ice house which the last time I was there had some obnoxious place to eat in its place.

In the Getaway with Steve McQueen, the place where they are swimming when he gets out of prison is the "ice house". Behind it, up river is Aquarena Springs.

I was under the impression there was a amusement park of sorts there, with rides and other things of interest plus about mermaids and underwater tanks and the glass bottom boats. I was informed by another member that this isn't true, and that it was simply glass bottom boats, an underwater theater with mermaids and a swimming pig.

I didn't realize that the road "aquarena springs drive" was a long road throughout the town lol. I assumed it was like our "road to six flags" and went right up to the park area.

There was a ride like a cable car that went over the property, there was a submarine but I don't remember much else. It was for tourists, I was going to school there and we didn't hang out there...in the daylight. ;)

A short note about Auquarena springs.
It seems to me that people in this thread think that the springs is still in operation as a theme park. It is not. I live near the springs, and quite some time back either the city, the county, or the state purchased the park after it closed. The glass bottom boats are still operating, you can pay a small fee to receive an informational tour of the springs. The theatre stayed operational for a short while, but closed due to leakage and was just recently removed after a lot of speculation as to the amount of asbestos which it may have contained due to it's being determined as future threat to the aquifer. The trolley lines are no longer operational, however they're still there (it would be somewhat hard to remove them with the neighbourhood behind the park and whatnot). The hotel on-site has become city conservation offices and an education center. Any of the attractions previously hosted there other than those I mentioned have been torn down.

I went day before yesterday, and the side that used to have the sky ride, etc. is now mostly dismantled. All the machinery, the tower and the donut for the sky ride are all gone, as are all the other towers. The mission is still there, as is what little is left of the burned out General's house. The greenhouse is still there also. Otherwise - not much else.

The side with the glass bottom boats and hanging gardens is under construction and is a live site at the moment, so we didn't go in that area.
