VALDOSTA, Ga. - Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, Georgia, kicks off Spring Break for local students with a weekend full of special events, the start of the Wild Adventures LIVE! Concert Series and the annual opening of Splash Island Waterpark.
"Our 2025 Season began with the opening of Water’s Edge, our newest expansion featuring three family-friendly rides,” said Adam Floyd, director of sales and marketing. “Now, we’re excited to add even more to the Wild Adventures experience by launching our concert series and opening Splash Island Waterpark, giving our guests a full day of thrills, entertainment, and fun.”
Wild Adventures LIVE! features an exciting lineup of award-winning and Platinum-selling artists, including Willie Nelson & Family, Walker Hayes, 38 Special, and more. The concert series launches Saturday, April 5, with a performance from country star Colt Ford for the park’s Passholder Appreciation Concert.
Originally from Athens, Georgia, Colt Ford is known for helping launch the country/rap genre of music that his four million followers love most, as well as writing No. 1 singles like “Dirt Road Anthem” by Jason Aldean and “Country Must Be Country Wide” by Brantley Gilbert.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Colt Ford to the Wild Adventures LIVE! Stage for our Passholder Appreciation Concert,” said Floyd. "Our Season Passholders enjoy free general admission to all of our concerts, but each year we select one show as our Passholder Appreciation Concert, giving our Passholders free Reserved Seat Tickets to show how much we value their support."
Silver, Gold and Diamond Season Passholders can pick up their two complimentary reserved seats each for the Colt Ford concert beginning at 9 a.m. on April 5. Seats will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. Colt Ford will take the stage at the Wild Adventures LIVE! Amphitheater at 8 p.m.

I can’t think of a better way to enjoy Spring Break and spend time with family, and that isn’t even all that we are offering our guests that weekend.”
