Wild Rivers was a water park in
Irvine, California, built on a mountainside and lasted 27 years. Iconic slides
included the indoor-twirling Abyss, the multi-person slide Patriot, a
fan-favorite, and the dueling Bazooka Bowls, similar to Walhalla Wave at Aquatica
San Diego. Wild Rivers was a friendly environment for everyone visiting Irvine.
In 2011, the City of Irvine
closed them down to make way for housing complexes. Wild Rivers finally bought
land in Temecula. The "New Wild Rivers" began construction in May of
this year. Wild Rivers is planned to be bigger and better than the original
Wild Rivers. The construction workers had to start from scratch, as the old
slides and buildings were demolished, except for novelties like a clock. The
park cost about $30 to $35 million.
Wild Rivers is open 110 days a
year, starting with weekends in May, everyday through summertime, and ending
with weekends again in October. Wild Rivers will present new and exciting
things to the table, all of which to be revealed in May 2014.
