In addition to slides, Splash Lagoon features the biggest wave pool east of the Mississippi.
Scott Enterprises' CEO Nick Scott Sr. said he's proud to help put Erie on the map for tourists.
'I always thought that somewhere between Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo, they're all equidistant. Erie was a great destination. It's such a big part of Erie's destination tourism, so we're really proud that we reached the number two in the entire country,' said Scott.
Scott said Splash Lagoon also draws visitors from Rochester, Syracuse and Canada.
