why was river country closed
River Country was much smaller than the other two water parks, yet the park remained, surviving the competition. As it did every year, River Country closed at the end of the warm-weather season (the park closed on November 2, 2001), with the expectation that the water park would reopen in the spring of 2002.iver Country was much smaller than the other two water parks, yet the park remained, surviving the competition.
