Having changed ownership and contracted with a new operator, Seven Peaks Provo will re-open this spring.
The waterpark had struggled since June, 2017, when it was forced to close the facility after consumers complained about injuries, with one filing a lawsuit, and after children suffered chemical burns. The closing was characterized as temporary.
The waterpark failed to reopen in 2017, but officials said they hoped to address the issues in time for the 2018 season. But the owner filed bankruptcy that year. Despite reports in the local press that a new management company was taking over and eventually planned to buy the property, it missed another season.
In December of last year, bankruptcy proceedings were settled when ownership changed. According to court documents, The Sugarhouse Trust now owns the waterpark.
The property also has a new operator — Global Management Amusement Professionals. “Seven Peaks is a terrific addition to our growing portfolio of waterpark properties,” said Ken Handler, President of Global Management. “This well-established waterpark provides us with a unique opportunity as operators to continue property improvements, provide superior service and reciprocate the support the local community has given the park for so many years.”
The park is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend.
Seven Peaks Waterpark is a 17-acre property and features more than 15 water attractions and a 500,000-gallon wave pool.
