While no opening date or timeline has been announced, the signs include concept-style images and a site layout showing several attractions and amenities planned for the property.
Among the features shown are mini golf, batting cages, Luna's Land Kid's Zone, a drive-in movie theatre, paintball, rollerblading, a café, and a food spot called Poutine Gang.

The property, located just outside Peterborough on Chemong Road, has sat vacant since Wild Water & Wheels closed in 2018.

For many locals, the site holds plenty of memories. During its heyday, Wild Water & Wheels featured go-karts, bumper boats, water slides, mini golf, a mini arcade, and the beloved Pipeline Express, the last remaining Bailey "Auto Sled" coaster in the world before it was dismantled in 2019.
For now, the new signs simply say "Coming Soon," but they offer an exciting look at what could be the next chapter for one of the area's most recognizable former attractions.
