Spring 2025- River Country Reboot
River Country- One of the most beloved themed areas by a true Disney fan. Unfortunately, due to reasons that are not quite known for certain among countless rumors, it closed forever in 2001. Even though we here at WDI have announced it would remain closed permanently, this reboot isn't quite just a re-opening of the amazing water park, but rather taking the concept and recreating the magic with new attractions and experiences.
In a foresty atmosphere, guests can walk along trails to set up picnic tables and blankets to enjoy a nice day in the Florida forests, or perhaps they may choose to visit the rivers. River Country is now a unique type of waterpark, where all of the pools and slides are connected through a system of rivers, which guests can ride through on tubes. There will be a bigger selection of slides available than when it was originally open, but still keeping some favorites (including the "rocky" slide that dropped guests off a waterfall into the pool). In addition, the pools will not make uses of lake water anymore, but chlorinated water for safety reasons. However, with a painted pool bottom and sand in some pools, the illusion will be created that it is a lake you are swimming in.
River Country is coming back in an incredible waterpark project that will bring extreme happiness and nostalgia to some fans, and new memories to others.
