From the Wikipedia article
Wet N Wild was an indoor water park situated in North Shields, Tyne and Wear, England. It was the United Kingdom's largest indoor water park when opened by Diane Youdale (Jet) on 19 July 1993, a title subsequently claimed by Sandcastle Waterpark after its extension in the 2000s. The park was situated in the Royal Quays complex, and featured numerous slides, a wave machine, and rapids. The park finally shut in 2019, and remained abandoned until 2024. On 8 November 2024, demolition of the abandoned water park began.

Background
Visiting
Wet N Wild opened to the public on 19 July 1993, and was the largest indoor waterpark in the United Kingdom at the time. The park was home to a 70ft (21.3m) flume tower. When the park originally opened there was even a bar known as Man Friday's Bar, which served cocktails and other alcoholic drinks. The water park proved to be increasingly popular to both residents of the North East, and further afield across the UK, which resulted in the addition of a new water slide The Kamikaze opening in 1995, followed by The Black Hole in 1997, and then The Abyss in June 2001.
