Waterville USA, often called simply Waterville, is a water park and amusement park located a quarter-mile from the Gulf of Mexico in the city of Gulf Shores, Alabama. The park opened in 1986, and since has added numerous water and amusement attractions.
The water park is the original section of the park.
Over the years, Waterville has had to remove and replace attractions due to hurricane damage and the passing of time. 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 high winds that severely damaged two of the water park's attractions. Repairs occurred during 2005 and 2006, and the park fully reopened in 2007 with replacement attractions.
