A MUCH-LOVED waterpark has been completely demolished six years after it closed down.
Images show nothing but an empty ground in the space where the popular attraction once stood.



Wet ‘n’ Wild in North Shields has been completely flattened as seen in the new drone pictures.
Last year, fans of the closed-down attractionafter it was sold to an unnamed developer.
Former owners Serco said at the time: “We’ve agreed to sell the site and have exchanged contracts with a local developer.”;
However, Bloom Developments submitted an application to demolish “the building formerly known as Wet ‘n’ Wild, including external slides”;.
They were granted the permission last August and the work was estimated to take eight weeks to complete.
Heavy machinery and diggers were first spotted at the site last November.
The application read: “Property has recurrent breaking and entering with increasing anti-social behaviour.
“Demolition will enablefuturedevelopment.”;
It came after a local superstar DJ Schak and his pals entered the abandoned site and livestreamed a “rave”; on social media last year.
They were arrested on suspicion of causing public nuisance but were quickly released “without further action”;.
Opened by‘ Jet in 1993, the Wet ‘n’ Wild was once the biggest indoor waterpark in the UK.
It was home to the country’s biggest water slide, the 541ft-longBlack Hole, as well as the Kamikaze, Abyss and the Lazy River.
Despite thousands of visitors flocking to the site in the years after it opened, the waterpark was forced to close back in 2019 following both maintenance issues and a drop in visitor numbers.
