Wild Rivers overview
Wild Rivers water park is a popular summertime attraction in Orange County, California which has hundreds of ardent fans. And, we can all be thankful to these fans for the very fact that Wild Rivers is having a 2008 operating season at all! How so?Well, Wild Rivers does not own the land on which it sits. The Irvine Company does...and Wild Rivers leases its spot. In 2007, The Irvine Company informed Wild Rivers that its lease would not be renewed for any further seasons. (The Irvine Co. wants to build houses on the land, instead. Wild River fans flew into action...and protested loud & clear against this action that would rob hundreds of families of a major summertime recreational outlet. Through the effort of these park die-hards, even the local government got active with this concern. And the result? A full operating season for Wild Rivers water park and the people who enjoy it...and a year's time for Wild Rivers to try to find a place to relocate and rebuild. The OC Register has a good article about Wild River's lease extension and the battle which fans fought to win it, if you'd care to read more.
