Pharaoh’s Lost Kingdom opened in 1996 as a 17-acre Egyptian-themed waterpark and FEC boasting mini-golf, go-karts, laser tag, and a large video-game arcade. It was perhaps most famous for the giant sphinx over its main entrance. The indoor game room featured early DDR cabinets, racing games and rows of redemption machines under a pyramid-style roof. The park changed hands in 2006, renaming it Pharaoh's Water and Theme Park. The new owner invested in a restaurant and lounge space after removing a number of the rides. After 4 years of the property being used for underground parties, multiple legal battles ensued that led to the property being passed back to the original owners. They re-opened the park in June 2011 as Splash Kingdom Waterpark, repainting and updating the park's iconic sphinx with a pair of sunglasses. The next 8 years saw a revolving door of additional owners and a series of fires plaguing the property. Finally, after a lack of business driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, the park was demolished in Feb 2021.
