WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — After an unexpected two-day closure, Water Country USA says it is ready to welcome guests, just in time for the weekend.
SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment announced its Williamsburg water park would be shut down on Thursday, August 18, and Friday, August 19 "due to an unforeseen maintenance issue".
The park did not elaborate on what the maintenance issue might be.
"We plan to reopen our park as soon as we can and encourage guests to check back with us on our website or on social media for more information," the park said in a statement.
SeaWorld, which also owns Busch Gardens Williamsburg, said any date-intended tickets will be extended through September 18, and that any ticket questions can be sent to WCUSA.GuestRelations@buschgardens.com.
Additionally, a park spokesperson said employees who were scheduled to work at Water Country USA during the closure "have been given the opportunity to work at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in select departments."
On Friday afternoon, the water park posted an update on Facebook, saying it would "resume normal park operations on Saturday, August 20" with posted hours of 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
