With more than $3 million in upgrades and a mission rooted in faith and family, SuperSplash USA is set to make waves this summer at the Lake of the Ozarks.
The revamped water park, led by veteran amusement entrepreneur David Busch, is targeting vacationers and families looking for a full-day destination that offers more than thrills—it offers connection.
“It’s all about joy and connection,” Busch said. “We create experiences that last a lifetime. It’s incredibly fulfilling to see families enjoying time together. It’s almost like medicine—there’s healing in laughter and togetherness.”
Busch knows a thing or two about fun. With several decades in the family entertainment industry, his résumé includes the creation and operation of 23 attractions across the country—including helping to build Oceans of Fun in Kansas City, one of the first water parks in the U.S.
After a successful career and a brief retirement in California, Busch returned to Missouri for what he calls a “dream come true” at the Lake of the Ozarks. SuperSplash USA’s reopening over Memorial Day weekend marked both a professional milestone and a personal homecoming.
“The timing, the people—it just felt right. Being back in Missouri has been amazing. People here are honest, courteous, thoughtful. That’s not something you find everywhere,” Busch said.
Why SuperSplash is a must-visit
The park underwent a major transformation aimed to bring a uniqueness to the park. New attractions include a large children’s activity zone, a major slide complex and a redesigned food service area. Fresh theming, signage and landscaping also give the entire facility a new look and feel.
And for adults looking to unwind? Busch’s team is building an adults-only area, which could feature a pickleball court—an ode to the sport he picked up during retirement.
SuperSplash is also rolling out a strong customer service program. Up to 200 seasonal workers—called “ambassadors”—will be trained not just in operations, but in hospitality, respect and professionalism.
“We don’t just hire—we select,” Busch said. “We want people who have heart, and we train them to be confident, respectful and professional.
New attractions
SuperSplash USA is bringing all sorts of fun with their newly renovated park. There are new attractions to look forward to for everyone.
Patriot’s Plunge — A brand-new 300-foot speed slide that is a five-story and six-lane head-first mat racer. If you crave heart-pounding action, this is the ride for you!

Key Largo Landing — Relax in the adults-only shady retreat and enjoy a refreshing adult beverage while lounging in a hammock or chaise lounge, enjoy a game on the big screen or play lawn games.
Faith at the Core
What truly sets SuperSplash USA apart is its commitment to faith. Busch, who rededicated his life to Christ in his 40s, says that spiritual foundation drives every business decision.
“Our company motto is: ‘Serving the Lord by bringing families closer together,’” he said.
Every day at the park begins with prayer. Bible verses will be displayed throughout the property. The park has also partnered with 20 chaplains from 15 local churches to provide optional mentorship and support for seasonal staff.
SuperSplash will also host outreach events, allowing churches to rent the park for private evenings of fellowship and gospel sharing.
“I believe we’re all put on this earth to reach the potential God gave us. That’s our responsibility,” Busch said. Since coming back to Christ he says he wants to serve Him in all that he does.
A New Chapter Begins
SuperSplash USA is positioned to become a staple attraction at Lake of the Ozarks, drawing families, church groups and tourists alike.
It’s not just a waterpark, it’s a family destination!
