History
After the success of TechEruo's Blazing Bayou (now Mississippi's Backyard) in 1997, several amusement park operators became interested in expanding there. One of those interested parties was The Tussauds Group, who were interested in opening a second theme park in the US after the second incarnation of Bainbridge Island in New Jersey. After purchasing several acres of land in Edwards, Mississippi, The Tussauds Group began to break ground in 1998.

In 2000, the park opened for the first time. The park was originally part of the now-defunct Tussauds Parks North America subsidiary of the company, which was comprised of Bainbridge Island, Mississippi Springs and a set of independent parks that the company had bought.

In 2002, Tussauds sold the park to Six Flags due to low attendance and to free up funds for future acquisitions.

In 2007, the park closed after Six Flags put it up for sale, but couldn’t find any potential buyers, and was subsequently abandoned.

In 2011, the park was purchased by Mississippi Springs Partner L.P.

In 2012, the park reopened.
