Wild Waves Washington offers plenty of rides and amusements, including Washington State's biggest roller coaster, TimberHawk. In 2007, Wild Waves celebrated its 30th anniversary.
About Wild Waves Washington
Wild Waves got its start in 1977 (when it was known as Enchanted Village) as a 12 acre children's park with just six rides, but expanded in the 1980s with the addition of a water park. At that time, the park was renamed Wild Waves and Enchanted Village. In 2000, Six Flags Inc. purchased Wild Waves, but later sold the 70 acre park in April 2007. The park then dropped the "Enchanted Village" portion of the name and is known only as Wild Waves Theme Park.
