VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — We're getting a look at the new wave generator coming to Atlantic Park's Wave Lagoon!

It's all part of a $350 million entertainment venue backed by singer and Virginia Beach native Pharrell Williams.

The park is set to open this spring, and the wave lagoon will be operated by Beach Street USA.
