Wet 'n Wild is the name used by water parks throughout the United States, Brazil and Mexico, originally owned by SeaWorld maker George Millay. This is not to be confused with the Wet'n'Wild brand owned by Village Roadshow Theme Parks and CNL Lifestyle Properties or the stand-alone waterpark Wet 'N' Wild Waterworld in Anthony, Texas.

Histori
The name was first used for water parks when SeaWorld founder George Millay opened his first water park Wet 'n Wild Orlando in Orlando, Florida in 1977. Wet' n Wild in Orlando, however, permanently closes December 31, 2016, and is replaced by Volcano Bay. Millay went on to open six more water parks of the same name in the United States, Brazil, and Mexico. In 1997 and 1998 Millay sold water parks to various owners including the Universal Parks & amp; Resorts, Palace Entertainment, and private companies for a total of $ 77 million.
