ORLANDO, Fla. — Wet 'n Wild water park in Orlando will permanently close its doors on Saturday.
Many tourists said they are sad to see it close.
“It’s just sad. I’ve been to a lot of water parks and this is by far the best one I’ve ever been to,” tourist Jake Caldwell said.

The park is owned by NBCUniversal.
Last year, Universal Orlando announced it would close the water park and make way for a new Volcano Bay Water Park.
Wet 'n Wild employees will be transferred to other jobs within the Universal Orlando Resorts company.
