Wacky Waters Adventure Park was a water park located in Davenport, Iowa. In February, 2007, it was announced that Wacky Waters has closed and the property has been sold to the Eastern Iowa Community College District, which will operate The Midwest Center For Safety And Rescue Training on the property, a training facility for fire departments.
In 1986, a couple received national attention by having their marriage ceremony atop the park's "Daredevil" water slide. After exchanging vows, they kissed each other while sliding down the large slide.
