Over the last 50 years, Wild Waves Theme & Water Park — located in the Seattle-adjacent Federal Way, Washington — has gone by many names (Enchanted Village, Enchanted Parks, Wild Waves and Enchanted Village, Wild Waves Theme Park, and Wild Waves and Enchanted Village) and been owned by several owners (including Six Flags for a period in the 2000s) but through it all it has remained a constant in the lives of coaster amusement park fans in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. However, that’s all changing this coming fall.
Yes, we absolutely love Disney Parks, and we’ve been known to run through Universal Studios with our wands in hand. While we’re generally here for the food, we just love theme parks in general and keep our eyes on other parks throughout the country, including Six Flags.

And boy was it an interesting visit!
