Virginia’s largest waterpark celebrates reopening just in time for summer with enhanced health and safety measures

 

Williamsburg, Virginia (Feb. 24, 2021) – Warm temperatures and summer fun are quickly approaching with the opening of Water Country USA®. On May 22, the Williamsburg park will reopen with a splash, allowing guests to safely enjoy cool beach vibes, resort-style amenities, and thrilling water slides and attractions.

 

In addition to the park’s already strict health and safety measures, which include increased cleaning and sanitation and temperature checks, reservations are required, and capacity will be significantly limited to create more open space for guests to maintain physical distancing. Face coverings will be required for guests 2 and older in certain designated areas of the park, including the park entrance and exit, retail areas, food and beverage areas and other designated areas. Face coverings will not be required in the water, such as the lazy river, the wave pool, all water slides, and all other water attractions in the park. 

 

From the Cutback Water Coaster™—the only RocketBLAST® coaster on the East Coast and Virginia's first hybrid water coaster with its heart-stopping turns, lightning-fast drops, and thrilling speeds—to the quiet luxury of a reserved lounger or cabana, Water Country USA® is a can’t-miss waterpark experience for fun-seekers of all ages.
