Wet ‘n Wild is a name used by various water parks across the United States, Canada, Brazil and Mexico, originally owned by SeaWorld creator George Millay. It is not to be confused with the Wet'n'Wild brand owned by Village Roadshow Theme Parks and CNL Lifestyle Properties or the stand-alone waterpark Wet N' Wild Waterworld in Anthony, Texas.
History
The name was first used for a water park when SeaWorld founder George Millay opened his first water park Wet 'n Wild Orlando in Orlando, Florida in 1977. Wet 'n Wild in Orlando, however, closed permanently on December 31, 2016, and was replaced by Volcano Bay.[1] Millay went on to open six more water parks under the same name in the United States, Brazil and Mexico.[2] In 1997 and 1998, Millay sold the water parks to various owners including Universal Destinations & Experiences
