Wild Waters, Water park in Silver Springs, Florida
The water park featured multiple fiberglass flumes, including the 80-foot-tall Hurricane slide, Silver Bullet speed flumes, and a 450,000-gallon wave pool.
ABC Television constructed Wild Waters in 1978, establishing it as one of the first water parks in the South to utilize fiberglass water slides.
The adjacent Silver Springs Nature Theme Park hosted numerous film productions, including Tarzan and Creature from the Black Lagoon throughout its operation.
Wild Waters provided numerous recreation areas with picnic spots, a snack bar, a fast-food counter, a sand volleyball court, and a gift shop.
The park operated for 38 years until its closure in 2016, followed by complete demolition in 2018 to create a new entrance for Silver Springs State Park.
