Wild Waters

There were picnic areas, a snack bar, and an open-air fast food restaurant counter.

Wild Waters was a favorite attraction for tourists visiting the Ocala and Silver Springs area, as well as local residents.

It was a small park by modern standards but offered a more relaxed atmosphere than its larger competitors.

Left abandoned for over two years, Wild Waters was the subject of several urban exploration YouTube videos due to its ruined state.

Osceola's Revenge had an extra drop, and was therefore rated with a higher thrill level than Bunyan's Bend.

Wavepool: A 450,000 gallon pool that alternated between calm water and generating waves after a certain period of time.

The ride consisted of an enclosed water flume that exited into a slide funnel (commonly referred to as a "toilet bowl").

After exiting the funnel, riders entered another short tube and then ended in an open chute.

In the early 1990s, the park added several new water flumes including the Tornado, the Thunderbolt, and the Twin Twister as part of an ambitious expansion plan.

The steel frames of the rides were showing obvious signs of corrosion in the humid Central Florida environment.
