  • Aerial tour of the Wet ‘n Wild water park in early March 2017, approximately 10 weeks after closing on 12/31/2016. Wet ‘n Wild was closed after nearly 40 years in business to make way for Universal Orlando Resort’s newest water theme park, Volcano Bay that is set to open on May 25th, 2017.

    So many incredible memories! My first job! I worked there from 1995-2000. Literally 200 of my Facebook friends are friends from wet-n-wild. By far the best job and people ever!

    I'm very sad to see this go! I consider myself lucky I got to experience this water park twice! 🙌🏻

    These were the days. "The good old days." The original Wet and Wild was Orlandos last chance for simple and affordable fun. I miss those days.

    I feel that they should've left it standing because it's part of Orlando history. Like and Reply if you agree!

    Lots of good Memories of My Mother (Single Mom) & I spending Summers. It had a Super CHEAP Annual Pass. We couldn't afford Disney & they don't help out locals Or even offer real Discounts. Sea World, Gatorland & Wet N Wild were the Parks that treated us locals best. Now Gatorland is the Only 1 that treats us good.

    Wow now it’s been 2 years almost 3 since the FAMOUS WET N WILD ORLANDO closed and was taken down I went to the park back in 2014 it was really fun but when I saw and received the news that the park closed and was taken down I felt sad and now it’s just a USELESS CONSTRUCTION HOTEL I wish they could rebuild it I really miss it
    RIP WET N WILD ( 1977-2016 ) we will remember you forever 😔

    Family didn't like it ( because one of the staff didn't let us on a ride and it rained),
    Now watching in 2017,
    Realised how beautiful it was and how much people care about it,
    Now crying,

    Sad to see it go away, but fully embrace new innovation, as wetnwild is a 70s park and out dated.
