@dreelegend: The Wasserbahn Waterpark Resort in Williamsburg, Iowa, was a hotel and indoor water park located near Interstate 80 in the area known as “Little Amana.” The property originally opened in 1971 as a Holiday Inn before being transformed into the Wasserbahn indoor water park resort in 2004. Inspired by German heritage and the nearby Amana Colonies, the resort became a recognizable destination for families and travelers, later operating under brands including Clarion and Ramada. The property also has a tragic chapter in its history. In 1980, an unsolved homicide occurred at the hotel, resulting in the deaths of Roger Atkinson and Rose Burkurt. The case remains part of the property’s history, but it is important to remember the victims respectfully rather than sensationalizing the tragedy. After 18 years of operation as an indoor water park, Wasserbahn permanently closed in March 2022. The unexpected closure affected employees, including some who had been living on the property. Today, the former resort represents a significant piece of Williamsburg’s past, with decades of history connected to the community and the many families and travelers who once visited it. #iowa #usa🇺🇸

The 2020 derecho destroyed it essentially, but prior to the derecho it used to always get shut down from health violations. I used to go as a kid a lot for birthday parties. It’s eerie seeing it abandoned still 6 years later, def one of those weird “one day it just shut down” vibe.

Me and my family were the last people to ever check in there, we didn't even know it was shutting down at the time.

It didn’t become Wasserbahn until 2004? I feel like it was long before that. I’m from Cedar Rapids however grew up in Des Moines. We go to Cedar Rapids/Amanas and Quad Cities multiple times a year. I swear it became the indoor waterpark before 2004. That’s when graduated HS and I wanted to go to that waterpark all the time as a kid.

I love that place but be careful anywhere that’s closed like the front office and check in area is completely full of black mold along with all the south side of the hotel portion
