Very sad to hear about the closure of my favorite water park. Ive been to the others in Orlando but always return to W n W. We visited Orlando last year and went to Typhoon and Blizzard (Aquatica on a previous trip)and didnt enjoy them as much as W n w. In fact in the 2 weeks we were ther we visited W n W 3 times! It will always be the benchmark and the original. I have been to many waterparks around the world and always make comparisons to the old lady of them all. R I P Wet n Wild.

I don't agree with them decision to change the name. This is an iconic Florida water park that has been around for nearly 40 years with three generations going to the park, and millions of visitors. My parents myself and my children have all gone to the park numerous time. Do our memories and history not matter? Universal Studios is all about nostalgia. They have rides for buying Comic Book Heroes from California to New York all over. They have rides horrifying old Hollywood and Ghostbusters in The Blues Brothers. Is there a history more important than ours? Why change the theme to a Polynesian Resort? Why not make it more The Floridian theme park? After all, it is a water park. I think Florida might be known for water. Just a hunch. I love Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Been season pass holder many times. Just disappointed in this decision to rename the park.

Nice. Just hope we don't have to pay an arm and a leg at gate of new water park. If it's the same price great, but I have doubts.

That just sucks!!! I went there last year on my birthday, & I LOVED it!!! The "Disco H²O's" my favorite out of all the slides.

I am sad to see it go as it is the grandfather of all modern water parks. I also loved going here as a kid back in the early 80's. Looks like I'll have to make one last nostalgic visit bEdited the park closes.

Actually, schlitterbahn in new Braunfels has been open for 36. Got a year on wet and wild.

i cringe at the rates that they will charge for the new water park......
