Big Surf water park is in the Phoenix metro area of Arizona and as you can see there’s a giant old school Pepsi logo in the pool.

    Yeah, Big Surf is near the Tempe/Scottsdale border, and also happens to be just north of a primary flight path into Sky Harbor, so if you’re seated on the north side of a plane taking off towards the east or landing from the east, you’ll definitely spot it. It’s also quite visible when you’re at the park itself. As I recall, they added it right after they removed the sand (and surfing) and made it a standard wave pool, like the other Phx area water parks.

    Yes, it’s a miniature race course. Used to be called Malibu USA or somesuch, but I believe the name has changed in recent years.
