The new Pharaoh's Theme & Water Park is off in a new direction that could bring real excitement to the East Valley. Developer Shahvand Aryana, a longtime Yucaipa resident, is now the managing partner of the 20 acre theme park, which is celebrating its 10th year of operations. James W. Braswell, the founder and developer of the park when it was known as Pharaoh's Lost Kingdom, praises Aryana, a neighbor of his in Yucaipa, with bringing energy, new ideas -- and money -- into the park that desperately needed upgrading.
