Wet Willys Waterslide - Defunct
Fenton, Missouri

All three slides join up for the final curve at the bottom of the
hill.
After speeding down the hill this is where you splashed down into a pool
of water hopefully slowing to a stop.
Next to the splashdown pool is Wet Willy's pump house that also served
as a billboard for it.
From what I have read on the internet the reason Wet Willy's closed down
was not competition from Six Flags new water park but because of this
splash pool. Supposedly someone came down the speed slide too fast
and the splashdown pool wasn't big enough to slow them down and they
slammed into the stairs head first and passing away as a result of the
injuries.
