Growing up I loved the original water park at the Walt Disney World Resort RIVER COUNTRY!
So in digging around the studios I found one of my Tickets from there. Oh what a lost gem. It was the place to go, and as much ad Typhoon and Blizzard Beach are fun, they will never hold the simple pleasure River Country embraced.

River Country: The Original Walt Disney World Water Park
ABOUT
Disney’s River Country was the first water park at the Walt Disney World Resort.[1] It opened on June 20, 1976 and ceased operations on November 2, 2001.[2] On January 20, 2005, The Walt Disney Company announced that River Country would remain closed permanently.[1] Along with Discovery Island, it is only one of two Disney parks in history to close permanently. Both parks were abandoned rather than demolished. *credit wikipedia
