In December 2018, the Florida Park Service began Demolition, Against the will of the People.

People were heartbroken and outraged about our beloved Water Park being destroyed. Here’s a few of their comments;

In response, a new petition was created in January 2019 to rebuild Wild Waters.

In less than one week, 8,000 people signed the petition.

Within 2 months, over 10,000 people signed the petition demanding Wild Waters be re-built. This is almost 3 times the number of people who signed the original petition.

According to an in the Star Banner Newspaper, the Marion County Commissions wants to spend 23 million dollars for a new Aquatic Center. Seems Wild Waters could have been fixed up for a fraction of that amount. Talk about wasteful spending!

Every member of the Marion County Commissioners, the Ocala City Council members and the Mayor were sent letters to inform them about the new petition with over 10,000 signatures and once again, ALL choose to ignore the letters and their constituents proving they could care less what the citizens they are supposed to be serving want. In my opinion, they all are unfit to “serve” in any position in Government.

As described on this site, every elected and non-elected state official has failed to uphold and respect “the will of the people” proving there is a total lack of democracy in this state. Ads may be ran at some point in the future exposing this entire matter. This is a classic example what’s wrong with our government and I think people all over the United States should be made aware of this outrage.

Moving forward, the new petition with over 10,000 signatures proves there’s an interest in having Wild Waters re-built. We are contacting private Water Park Developers and investors to try and make this a reality for children and families of Marion County and surrounding areas.

What we’re envisioning would be similar to the Daytona Lagoon… a complex with not only with a Water Park but Putt-Putt Golf Course, Arcade and Go Kart Racing.
 
The County Commissioners and City Council should at least be helping since their paid to present their constituents. Instead, they have ignored all correspondence about this.
