Hi Adam, they started demolishing this yesterday. It was so sad and depressing for us locals with fond memories.

So sad to see a place like that abandoned.

Wild Waters was amazing........... Thank you for the memories...... Of course now it looks like a Rob Zombie movie set, but back in the day this place was the best. I remember a season pass only cost $49........ Also the slide with the cover was called the Cruiser....... People went so fast they finally covered it to keep em inside........... I don't know how you got in, if you're a sneaky lil guy or if someone gave you permission but I wish I could have gone with you. I'd love to bring her back to life! Thank you again!

The corridor you mentioned was probably where the inner tubes for the lazy river were collected/stored.

I find it amazing that they just leave everything there. when I was younger I thought that the owners always disassembled these places. I didn't have reason to think this but I thought that there was no way that they would just be left to rot.

😳😳😳😳 Omgosh!!! I worked there two summers and saw it when it used to be beautiful. This is sad!

This video really should have been done by someone who experienced the place. I grew up in coeur D'Alene and frequently went there. That deep pool connected to the lazy river that you didn't know what it was for is for the rope swing. The frog wasn't the mascot, a dragon was. And the place you said sold the tubes was actually where the food was sold. You didn't have to buy tubes you just picked one up and carried it to the big slide. That weird elongated pool under the roof was the hot tube, and that thing never saw a moment when less than 5 people were in it. It was always packed full of people to the point where you practically had to sit on each others laps. The slide with the cover had no theme and no lights. It was just a dark slide, but there was holes in the cover. And a lot of the rocks on the second lazy river (the oldest one with the bridges over it) were missing even when I was a kid. This place was the shit! Everyone loved it. They had slides (obviously), an arcade, etc...

i used to lifeguard at wild waters, it was a blast. That random corridor by the sunnyside river was actually a tarzan rope swing back in the day. I'd love to see it reopen. Silverwood was not responsible for wild waters closing... they recided not to reopen one summer all on their own, the interest is definitely still alive in town!

Nothing feels as good as going back and rewatching old Woo's. Such good times

From what I've found, It appears to have opened in 1982 and closed in 2010.

that strange nook at the start of the lazy river is where you put your tubes when done - they stack up there so you can peel one off when you get in. But I laughed when you said "this confuses me"

nice job , this is a great spot!

I'm always amazed the enormous amount of work and energy it takes to fight back nature.

I first moved to CDA in 2009, there in Coeur d’Alene, and this park was still in operation then, now several years later, it’s gone. Thanks for coming up to our area. There’s lots more you can explore here too! If I’d known you came, I would have tried to meet ya. I watch your channels all the time and a big fan.

This is great! When I was a kid my parents would drop us off here in the morning and pick us up at closing. I knew the park was defunct now, but it's neat to see inside the gates.

3:02 it's where they put the tubes

So many childhood summers at that place

I am from hayden idaho, just a few minutes north of here. I went to wild waters when i was a kid. And the last time i was there was in 2009. Now the hill is gone and they are building a hotel or something there. Glad you got to document it when you did. Our little town is now ruined and over ran with out of staters driving all the locals out.

Oh my gosh, this brings me back. I remember coming here on a youth group retreat in 1990 when I was 11. I have fond memories of this place and it's sad to see that they closed down. I can see that the place expanded and feel that it deserved a better fate. When I was there 26 years ago, I remember it being much smaller and having six slides. There were five standard ones and an inner tube slide, which I didn't think was that good. It was divided into sections and they had staffers push people down each part. The other slides overall were better. There was one I couldn't remember the name of, but the others were called the Skidder, Drop Off, Twister and Cruiser, with my two favorites being the Drop Off and the first one. I remember the Twister being the worst, because multiple times, I stopped moving before reaching the bottom and on one occasions, tried standing up just to see what would happen before the water pushed me. The Cruiser was pretty good though. It had more water, which would submerge you a little as you were sliding down. Those slides were pretty much the whole park at the time, but although it paled in comparison to Wild Waves in Washington state back then, I would've liked to have come back here when it had expanded. I also remember that at the top of the slides, people had horizontal ropes to hole their hands on before being instructed to go, but I don't remember that faucet. I wonder if it was there at the time. I feel that it might have been.

AHHHHHH SHITTTTTT SONNNNNNN

adam you should have taken your bike to try on those slides

I live near Boise, Idaho. We had a Wild Waters here also. It closed about 20 years ago to make way for a larger freeway entrance. It was completely torn down. Many of the rides in Boise resembled the rides in Coeur d'Alene . Interesting to see how much the two where a like.

As someone that grew up going to that Park, thank you for the video. Brings back a lot of memories.

Used to go to Wild Waters In Coeur d' Alene back in the 90's. Was a pretty hoppin' spot.

Hey Adam do you like challenges? Cause I have one for you! There is a BIG abandoned location not far from where I am. Its called "The Pontiac Silverdome". This is the place where Wrestlemania 3 took place.

3:10- Intake sump for the pump. You have to have a deeper area for the pumps to take water from so that they have a constant flow regardless of overall water level.

I love these types of vlogs! Great work Adam'

Look at all those slides! To bad you didn't bring your bicycle! ;)

The price to get in was more than Disney lol

I love your abandoned theme park videos, this one is up there with the best!

Sad to see the place in such a state, many fond childhood memories.

I think the thing at 3:10 is the thing that creates the current for the lazy river

3:05 i think it was the coral for the floaty tube things

i love watching your old content, I grew up with you, thank you

So many of us locals had great summertime fun at this park throughout the 80's, 90's and even into 2000! The slick corporate feel of Silverwood and even Silver Mountain just isn't the same... nor are the cheesy little slides at Triple Play worth comparing to the once awesome Wild Waters. Sigh... But thanks for the trip down Memory Lane - or rather, the slide down. :)

I cant believe this is closed D: I loved this place as a kid. Edit: And yes.. That tube did have lights in it!

The frog had me dead 💀😂😂😂

I only went to Wild Waters once or twice, but it was fun and memorable. From what I remember, your guessing was a little off from some things in the park. 0:51 that slide was called Black Out and had strobe lights inside it. 1:08 That's some of the path coverings to help keep people from slipping, like you guessed at 1:58, and from getting burned feet. 1:30 I believe that it was just called the "Lazy River". 2:58 I'm sure that was where the water for the lazy river was pumped into the slide and the extra rafts were held when not in use. 5:46 That was the lifeguard & first aid station. 6:40 & 7:50 That is a cougar, not a leopard.

Love the video as always. Keep up the great work! Also, that panther looks a lot like a mountain lion to me. ;)

You are the indiana Jones of KZfaq Adam

Joked about buying this water park on the way to Silverwood last weekend. How cool to see what's inside! Probably not a good investment though...

These are so legit dude! Keep making videos like this. I loooove exploring and hope to go somewhere big someday. Like Nara Dreamland!

I grew up going to this water park, such a bummer to see what it turned into, they flattened everything, it’s just a field now.

I'm the type of person that would try to get this reopen again.

"I'm guessing this was some kind of lazy river attraction"

it has been a long time since i have watched Adam's videos, thought i was subscribed, well im glad i'm watching his video's again.

Love your vids Adam!

There's an old abandoned water park like that in Odessa Texas if you ever get out that way.

Shoutout to my hometown CDA💯

Adam I applaud your courage to go down another slide! Well done! 👍

This is amazing! Facebook recommends a video. Turns out it's Adam the woo! *goes back and watches The Fisherman and the Fridge, and the DNA energy drink videos* Hahahaha These adventure videos are awesome man! Keep it up!

I wonder if the faucet had water streaming down at one time.

At least some of the graffiti was positive lol.

5:50 - refreshments. I remember buying a souvenir sipper there every year.

So sad. I worked at Wild Waters way back in the late 1970's early 1980's cannot remember exactly when. Just watching this video, the park grew a lot after I left Florida. The Silver Bullet was fairly new when I worked there. There was the large wave pool, the kiddie pool area, the Sliver bullet and a couple of other water slides. It grew so much that most of the property did not even look like I remember it. It was a fun place to work.

Some info maybe about the covered slide: there was a slide launched in 1996 called the Black Hole, described as "pitch-dark" and "strobe-lit"

that crazy area was where the big pump would pump the water to push the river.

Used to go there all the time in the summer. 80's and 90's. The covering was just used to keep people from flipping out of the slide. Nothing themed about it. Frog was not the mascot. Just decoration The cool kids used to go to the hang area where you would have the fake zip line and the monkey bars kinda area and the bigger drops from slide into water. They also had the really tall slide, for a kid, that would make you feel like your body was flying off the slide until you hit the bottom. We used to have one person get in, then steal the hand stamp and come out and stamp everyone's hands or we would get one season pass card, then pass it to one another through the fence and use it several times over.

That water park was the best place on earth me and my brothers talk about stories from that place on the daily I’m so glad I found this video lol. By the way the spot next to the lazy river that you were confused about it was a rope swing and that was the pit you would land in and the put the stairs there for you to be able to walk out

Jesus! That bear scared the hell out of me!

I used to LOVE this place. It was so much fun

I love these kind of videos. It's mysterious to see these abandoned places....although the statue of a lion, or cougar....was a little startling!!

Adam your the best! Thank You for sharing your videos, I love them!. I get to see so many things through you. You are so funny & very likeable.

3:10 That was where the waves were produced to push people, it came out the bar looking thing

I wonder if it was a good business idea to open a water park in northern Idaho, i guess that's why it is closed. Really cool video though

thanks Adam seeing this brought back a lot of memories as a kid

FYI....Wild Waters has been torn down. The photos of its demise has been making the rounds on Facebook the past couple of days. Ah, not the first to mention this...supposedly they are going to flatten it to make it more sellable.

1:13 that's not fake artificial grass, it's real artificial grass

that park could be s as bed just needs good clean up

at 3:01 ... that area was a storage area for all the inner tubes. This place opened in 1982 when I was a senior in HS in Spokane. Man, what a great place. Still remember falling in love with the ticket girl in her booth. lol. Thanks for the great video! ( I would have taken the bear home!)

"My butts a little wet now" - I bet it is not the first time Adam has said that lmao

I believe that's a mountain lion; panthers are black if I recall

Looks like something from "The Last Of Us".

ever since i was five, i'd always catch a glimpse of the waterpark on my occasional trips to montana, but i never got to go inside and i was left wondering what it was like there. cool video adam!

Omggg im hooked on these ever since you explored nickelodeon. Take me on your adventuresssssssssss 💜💜💜

That is so DIRTY 🚷🚷🚷🚷🚷🚷🚷🚷🚷🚷 it could be cursed by the iluminati

I want to explore abandoned places like you :o

Abandoned water parks are my favorite thing! Enjoyed this video. What a great find. Always intriguing to see what's left after people. Speaking of, I know you visited the six flags at New Orleans and they are STILL debating over what to do with it but should have a resolution on it in the fall they are saying. Do you plan on going back there? What would you say has been your favorite abandoned spot that you've ever visited? Love the videos Woo!

BEST INTRO EVER btw this is the first vid I've watched from him

C'mon dude... That was on the slide top for safety so they don't fall out in quick turns. Probably the fastest slide. As for the lazy river part you are confused about. Again, dude, think... That's probably where the lifeguards and some tubes were held for people coming in and out.

Awesome Video Adam!

Wild Waters was open 1982-2010. The Sunnyside River was added for 2007.

Went here a few times growing up. Sad to sit going to waste. Great video Adam

Wow, this is a trip down memory lane. I used to go there all the time as a kid. This and Splash Down in Spokane. I didn't even know this was closed down, then again I don't live in the NW anymore. Cool Video!

Very sad to see a once happy place in such disrepair. Thanks for sharing I wonder what happened to the place :(

it’s 2020 at 1am and i’m binge watching these abandoned places videos hahah

Great video Adam!

That "weird little corridor pocket" at 3:03 was for a rope swing!

Revisiting this video five years later to say they completely demolished this whole park and it’s a flat piece of dirt field now. RIP Wild Waters I’ll never forget going for free like 6 times cause the desk lady never punched my friends 10-free-visits card

thanks for this video! I've been wanting to explore this place ever since it closed! I used to go there as a kid with my family. brings back memories!

Nice video Adam crazy how it's been left like it. I not long visited an abandoned car garage

It closed due to lack of business after a large Amusement part with huge slides was built about 9 miles north of this Hunted Mountain. It was a fun place for a while. Went down a slide with my daughter the first time she road the slide. After that there was no stopping her. Just enough twists at turns that you got some excitement. Especially in the covered runs.

Wild Waters was a former gravel pit which was transformed by the company that built the fiberglass tubes that you were filming. They built it as a for profit demonstration project to sell more of the equipment to other cities and private ventures. Wild waters in Boise Idaho was not abandoned, it was purchased by the Idaho Transportation Department in order to build an off ramp and a cloverleaf on ramp. It was fabulously popular at the time and only a couple of years old. The prices are for tourists as most stores in the area handed out free or reduced passes so that locals paid about 1/5 what the freeway families paid to cool off after a hot dusty trip from Oregon or Utah. Most of you guesses about the park were wrong, and as I was a participant in the design of the highway, I thought that you were amusing. Most of this happened many years ago in the 1980s. There are lots of hotels, movie theaters and a Costco occupying some of the land of the former gravel pit and then water park.

Watching this video slightly saddens me. I spent many hours of my childhood here. it's was beautiful and colorful and always packed! Breaks my heart to see it like this. From what I understan, the reason it was abandoned was because that lazy river he showed was a expansion, and wild waters took out a loan that they couldn't pay, and the bank took the water park. it shut down with no warning. it would always close in the winter and then open back up in the late spring. one year it closed, and just never opened ever again. last thing, that "swimming area" near the lazy river, was actually a rope swing. it was awesome xD As a local here in cda, it was interesting to see what it looks like now, I might have to check it out myself someday. thank you for sharing!

You're killing me! You obviously have never been there and u basically desecrated my memory of this place. If you want to know what everything really was and what you were wrong on, I would be happy to let you know. However, thank you for going back into that place so I could see what is there now...

This was cool! We have a (still operating) Wild Waters in my hometown, but this one looks like it had way more slides than the one we have.

I swam here all the time as a kid! I know how to answer every question you're asking! That pocket of water by the lazy river was where they would keep the inner tubes so when you got in you just grabbed one and you were on your way. This is the first time I've seen the inside of it since it closed. I pass it on the freeway and always look up remembering all of the kids on top of the slides and getting excited that we were almost there! Cool video man

I live in Caldwell, so Roaring Springs tides me over.

I used to go to this place as a kid. It had been abandoned sonce 2010, but they eventually demolished the water park and the entire hill it was on. Now it's just empty. It's so weird to see the inside of it so empty because it was the only water park in North Idaho at the time, so it was always packed.
