SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Raging Waters Sacramento will be permanently closing, according to a release on the water park’s website.
It says the park will not reopen in 2023 after Palace Entertainment, the company operating the park, decided to terminate its lease after a ‘careful review of company priorities.’
In a list of questions on the water park website, it says it would be up to the property owner to decide if there will be another operator, but it will not be Raging Waters.
“We are aware that Palace Entertainment has exercised the buy-out provision of their current agreement with Cal Expo," Cal Expo said in a statement to ABC10. "Unfortunately, the water park was unable to be profitable over the past 3 years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which completely shut down the facility for 2 years and limited its operation this past season. In the coming months, Cal Expo will determine the best course of action with input from our Board of Directors and staff. We fully expect the water park to be profitable going forward and continue to be a fun and safe attraction for our region’s families for years to come.”
If you purchased a season pass for the 2023 season or made a deposit for a group trip, you’re asked to email RWSac_General@PalaceEntertainment.com with your purchase or deposit confirmation.
The locations in Los Angeles and San Jose will still be operating as normal in 2023.
