3. Lake Dolores Water park:
In early 1970s, the site had become a popular water park for the general public. However, attendance tapered off by the late 1980s, and the park closed. It reopened in 1998 as a 1950s-themed water park called Rock-A-Hoola . The retro-inspired Renaissance was unfortunately short-lived — an after-hours accident that allegedly made an employee a paraplegic was just one factor in Rock-A-Hoola's downfall. The park had its last hurrah between 2002 and 2004 under the name Discovery Waterpark.
4. L'Aquatic Paradis:
Located in Spain's Catalonia region, L'Aquatic Paradis opened in the early 1990s. After two years, a tragic accident — rumor has it that a child was pulled under water by the engine of a wave machine — and large sums of debt forced the water park to close its doors. After shutting down, the decaying park became a counter-culture hub. While graffiti artists left their colorful mark on slides and buildings, skaters practiced tricks in the empty pools.

6. Zoom Floom Waterpark

It’s not well documented why the attraction closed, but it was likely due to insurance and safety concerns. Now it sits abandoned in the woods right off of State Road 446 and is covered in colorful graffiti.
7. Black Hole
It has been the target of several law suits all fought by several people who were severe injured while riding this life risking trap. After an injury a man had to have metal plates fixed into the back of his neck. It was founded in 1977 by Sea World creator George Millay. It closed on December 31, 2016. Owned and operated by Universal Parks & Resorts, Volcano Bay replaced Wet 'n Wild as Universal Orlando Resort's water park, and it was the first constructed by Universal itself.
8. Irvine, California
Orange County kids of a certain age undoubtedly recall this most dangerous water park — and perhaps have the scars to prove it. The Edge and Ledge rides were shut down in 2003 and tales of people getting stuck in tubes. Wild Rivers closed in 2011 for the expiration of its lease with The Irvine Company.
9. Ebenezer Wonderful Water Slides
When Ebenezer Floppen Slopper's Wonderful Water Slides opened in the early 1980s, the park provided a thrilling alternative to front-lawn sprinklers for kids in the Chicago suburb of Oakbrook Terrace. Closed in 1989 for unknown reasons, this former landfill returned to its garbage-strewn roots. Today, the water park is totally abandoned and decrepit.
