Former rides and attractions
Over the years, Waterville has had to remove and replace attractions due to hurricane damage and the datedness of the attraction. In 2013, two slides were removed to make room for a new slide. In September 2004, the eye of Hurricane Ivan passed directly over Gulf Shores and the surrounding areas. Due to the park's close proximity to the coastline, Waterville was severely flooded by storm surges, and experienced damaging winds that severely damaged two of the water park's attractions. Repairs went on during 2005 and 2006, and the park fully reopened in 2007 with new replacement attractions.
Waterville's water park has removed or replaced all of its original slides, and all of the names and descriptions are unknown.
