Bigger, better and more fun than ever — after a two-year dry spell, Brampton’s iconic water park is set to reopen next year with a brand new name and look.

On Wednesday, Dec. 14 city councillors will hear from representatives of American outfit Premier Parks, new owners of the former Wild Water Kingdom site at 7855 Finch Avenue West.

Wild Water Kingdom closed suddenly in 2014.

Premier Parks purchased the 100-acre water park and entertainment facility over the summer and has since pumped millions into a massive overhaul of the grounds, to be renamed Wet ‘n’ Wild.

The park will open in June 2017.

Premier Parks operates 12 theme parks across the United States, including Wet ‘n’ Wild waterparks in Hawaii, Palm Springs, Phoenix and Houston.

Coun. Pat Fortini said renovations represent a $33 million investment. The park will employ 850 people, in mostly seasonal jobs.

Park owners say they are looking forward to the launch.

Kieran Burke, CEO of Premier Parks, said design teams have been hard at work "transforming the site into a first class water park that Canadians can be proud to call their own.”
