Wild Rivers (water Park)
Wild Rivers was a water park in Irvine, California. It opened in 1986 on the site of the former Lion Country Safari. Following the expiration of its lease with the The Irvine Company, it closed permanently on September 25, 2011. In July 2012, the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved a 25-year, $30 million lease with Wild Rivers on a parcel of county-owned land in Irvine, located in between the Orange County Great Park and Irvine Transportation Center. A new, larger Wild Rivers park is scheduled to open there in May 2014.
