Adam Woltermann, who spent five seasons working at the Cincinnati water park, said he was dismayed to learn it would be closing permanently in December 2023 and all of the slides, pools and rides would be demolished.

Woltermann told WKRC-TV. Woltermann purchased the Silver Bullet, a waterslide built at the park in 1945. "I love the history of it and just Cincinnati history in general and I just thought it would be a cool piece to own," he said. He had the slide professionally removed and transported to a secret location, where he took some photographs to share on social media. "I've had a lot of interest in it from different parties across Cincinnati reaching out, trying to purchase it from me, but right now, I'm not really wanting to sell it. I would love to see it in use again, but no immediate plans," he said.
