Six Flags White Water was constructed by Silver Dollar City, a theme park company known today as Herschend Family Entertainment, as a corporate sibling to their White Water park in Branson, Missouri and their White Water (Now White Water Bay) waterpark in Oklahoma, and first opened in 1984.
Six Flags White Water is one of four stand-alone Six Flags water parks, and the only one of the group to not use the Hurricane Harbor name.
