Big Changes Are Here at Wild WaterDome!

One of our most iconic waterparks—the Wild WaterDome—has undergone 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, we temporarily closed our 70,000-square-foot Wild WaterDome 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 was 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 have something entirely new to look forward to with the renovation. One of the two Dueling Mammoths raft rides was removed to make way for a brand-new volcano-themed slide fittingly named Volcano Vortex.

This isn’t just another waterslide—it’s a high-energy, shared experience family ride, and the only one of its kind in North America. 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, is still here—it simply got 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 has been 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 has received aesthetic upgrades. A new floor and tropical paint theme have helped 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 has undergone new flooring, upgraded TVs for a better sports-viewing experience, and more comfortable seating.
• Wooly’s is now 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, The Great Wave—one of its biggest draws—has remained 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 fits better in the newly renovated space.

When Will It Reopen?
We are open, 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 is well worth another visit!
