Wet'n'Wild

I only have one map from Wet'n'Wild, so I'm adding other maps and pictures I've found online to this one.


1980s: Wet'n'Wild opened in 1984 as Cades County. The original attractions were the wave pool; the four body slides known as White Water Mountain; Rampage, a Tobboggan slide later renamed Double Screamer; and the speed slides.


1990s: This picture is from the 1990s, by which time the park had been re-named Wet'n'Wild. The Twister had been added here, and later in the 90s saw the addition of Terror Canyon.


2000: Super 8 Aqua Racer was added in 1997, Calyso Beach in 1998, and Mammoth Falls in 2000. The picture above shows Mammoth Falls when it first opened, with one twisting slide (Mammoth Falls) and one straight slide (Mammoth Plunge). The Plunge was moved to Sea World just a few years later, and a mirrored Mammoth Falls was installed in its place.


2007: The only physical map of Wet'n'Wild I have. Whirpool was added in 2002, and Bucaneer Bay in 2005. In 2006, the Extreme H2O Zone opened with Mach 5, Blackhole, and Tornado. The Surfrider had just been added, but this map doesn't show it yet. Double Screamer had been removed around 2005.


2010: The White Water Mountain slides were replaced with the River Rapids in 2007, and Terror Canyon closed in 2009. Kamikaze was added in 2008, and in 2010 Aqualoop replaced the Twister and the speed slides. The Flowrider and the Zip Lines have also been added.


2017: Additions here the Skycoaster (2011), Constrictor (2012) and Wet'n'Wild Junior (2014).


2020: New CGI style map. Mach 5 has been removed.
