Wild Waters Embroiled In Lawsuit

Passersby can still see the remnants of the Wild Waters park in the form of blue water slides prominently resting on a hill at the intersection of Interstate 90 and US 95. The park closed its doors in 2010 and, according to Coeur d'Alene Police Sgt. Christie Wood, has been broken into and targeted by vandals "a few" times since, before the property owners added more security features. One of the incidents of vandalism, which according to court documents took place in 2011, has landed the company in US District Court. After the vandalism, Wild Waters filed a claim with its insurer, Travelers Casualty Insurance Company of America, for an undisclosed amount to repair the damage. However, Travelers alleges that since the incident took place after Wild Waters was not operating as a business, it was considered "vacant as defined within the insurance contract" and as such, the claim is invalid/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: When did you last play at a water park?
