The water park is owned and operated by Six Flags Entertainment Corporation and opened as Crocodile Dundee's Boomerang Bay in 2004.

[3] The park did not operate in 2020 or in the first half of the 2021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and two stay-at-home orders issued by California Governor Gavin Newsom.

In 2022, Cedar Fair sold the land occupied by the park to Prologis, announcing intentions to permanently close Great America by 2033.
