WaterWorld Safari originally opened on the site of Wet'n'Wild Phoenix. After Village Roadshow Limited invested over $30 million in the park on ownership, and new attractions, Wet'n'Wild Phoenix opened its doors to the public July 1, 2009. At opening the park had over 30 rides. In November 2013, CNL Lifestyle Properties purchased Wet'n'Wild Phoenix from Village Roadshow, along with the rights for the Wet'n'Wild brand in the United States. CNL Lifestyle Properties previously purchased Wet'n'Wild Hawaii from Village Roadshow, with both properties set to be operated byPremier Parks, LLC from the 2014 season. Management of the park was subsequently taken over by Six Flags and in 2019 it changed its name to Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Phoenix. Due to concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic, Six Flags announced a suspension of operations across the company on March 13, 2020. Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Phoenix was scheduled to open for the 2020 season a day later on March 14. The water park opened the 2020 season on June 12, the first Six Flags water park to do so with new rules and regulations. Two days before July, the Government of Arizona made an order that water parks that were currently operating in the state, had to close again due to the uprising in COVID-19 cases in the state.
