Big Changes Are Coming to our Wild WaterDome!

One of our most iconic waterparks—the Wild WaterDome—is about to undergo a major transformation, bringing a fresh updated look, new thrills, and a new zero-depth area to this beloved indoor waterpark.

A Major Renovation Kicks Off
Starting August 24, our 70,000-square-foot Wild WaterDome will temporarily close for a large-scale renovation project. Known for housing the largest indoor wave pool in the United States, our WaterDome has long been one of our guests’ favorite waterparks. Now, just like Wild West and Cubby’s Cove in recent years, it’s getting the refresh it deserves.

One of the most significant upgrades will be the replacement of its signature see-through roof. This feature has always been key to the park’s bright, tropical atmosphere that our guests particularly rush to in the winter.

New Attractions and Re-imagined Favorites
Thrill-seekers will have something entirely new to look forward to with the renovation. One of the two Dueling Mammoths raft rides will be removed to make way for a brand-new volcano-themed slide fittingly named Volcano Vortex.

This won’t be just another waterslide—it will be a high-energy, shared experience. Riders will board five-person rafts and speed through tight turns and high-G spirals that build anticipation before every drop. Our resort leaders describe it as “Formula 1 on water,” blending speed, motion, and visual excitement into one unforgettable ride.

Meanwhile, the remaining Dueling Mammoths raft ride, with its popular winding tunnels and meandering curves won’t be going away—it will simply be getting a new identity. We’re renaming it Paradise Falls to better fit our updated theming.

A New Space for Littles
Families with littles will also notice a big improvement. The current Mini Mammoth’s Cove zero-depth play area will be completely reimagined into Coral Cove, a tropical-themed kids’ area designed for exploration and play.

Expect a mix of smaller slides, interactive features, and thoughtfully designed spaces that will allow parents to keep clear sight lines while their kids enjoy a splashing good time. The goal is to create a fun, safe, and immersive environment tailored specifically for little adventurers.

A Fresh Look and Feel Throughout
Beyond the rides, the entire WaterDome will receive aesthetic upgrades. A new floor and tropical paint theme will help tie everything together, giving the park a cohesive, updated vibe.

Our improvements will also extend to our food and beverage outlets as well:

• Survivor’s Bar & Grille will get new flooring, upgraded TVs for a better sports-viewing experience, and more comfortable seating.
• Wooly’s will be reintroduced as Castaway Café, featuring a refreshed design that matches the tropical theme while keeping its quick-service convenience.

What’s Staying the Same?
Not everything is changing. The WaterDome’s iconic wave pool—one of its biggest draws—will remain untouched, continuing to deliver the experience guests know and love.

Margarita’s swim up bar is not going anywhere either.  This already tropically themed adults only pool will only fit better in the space once the renovations around it are completed.

When Will It Reopen?
Our renovated Wild WaterDome is expected to reopen in mid-October, just in time for fall visitors to experience the upgraded space. And, we know that with a mix of new attractions, thoughtful redesigns, and modern updates, this renovation will be well worth the wait!
