After 38 years of fun in the sun, Wet n’ Wild will be closing permanently on December 31, 2016, according to Universal Orlando.
Wet n’ Wild opened in 1977 as the United States’ first water park and set the bar what is now known as the traditional water park day by day experience.
The spirit that built the foundation for Wet n’ Wild will continue in development of Universal’s Volcano Bay water park that is expected to open in 2017, according to Universal Orlando.
Universal’s Volcano Bay will be located just south of Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort and will feel as if it is set in picture perfect tropical islands formed by a massive volcano, according to Universal Orlando.
