Wasserbahn advertised itself as a resort that celebrates the German heritage of the historic Amana Colonies, featuring a mini-golf course, restaurant and lounge. The Seven Villages restaurant also is listed as closed.
The resort was most recently owned by Thomas Smock of Cocoa Beach, Florida. Wasserbahn, however, has had operational issues. The Iowa Department of Public Health shut down the facility for water quality and hygiene problems in 2013. It reopened in July 2014 after California transplants Yule and Sae Park bought the resort and made the necessary repairs.
The Wasserbahn Waterpark Resort in Williamsburg is shown in 2014, after it was rebranded as a Ramada Inn. A renovation project also overhauled the waterpark and reportedly added new safety features and procedures to the resort, which had been shut down in 2013. It was also rebranded from a Clarion Inn to a Ramada hotel during that time.
