- Beloved theme park to close for good, ending nearly 50 years of family memories
Wild Waves Theme Park in Federal Way, Washington, will permanently close by November 2026 due to financial losses post-COVID-19. The park, open since 1977, faces public mourning and calls for salvation, with Premier Parks citing operational costs as the reason for closure. Other U.S. theme parks are also revamping or closing longtime attractions.
