Footage shows the park in Northern Ireland fallen into ruin with mice seen running around where children and families once played.
The water slides that the attraction was once known for are now falling apart and covered in mould.
Left to rot when it was closed down in February 2020 the park has remained untouched since.
Haunting footage shows the once bright and vibrant attraction completely abandoned, dark and damp.
The facilities have all been left frozen in time with abandoned building explorers the only recent visitors.
It seems almost as if people left in a hurry with the park being nearly exactly as it was when it was open.
Social media users were left feeling nostalgic by the footage with many recalling fond memories of Waterworld.
The park has never been put on the market after it was suddenly closed more than five years ago.
TikToker Jaimie, who explores abandoned buildings for fun and shares footage with his followers, recently visited the park.
He has also explored several other abandoned sites across Ireland and has built a following from the videos of his explorations.
Unsettling footage of Waterworld shows a mouse darting across the bottom of an empty pool.
Video also shows clips of the sauna which looks eerily identical to how it did when the site was open.
Inside abandoned center parcs
Waterworld was also home to a bowling alley which was also left abandoned and frozen in time.
The lanes are left dim and unlit, abandoned exactly as they were five years ago.
Bowling balls still sit ready to be rolled having been left in the facility when it was emptied.
The entire facility was left dark with only the torches of the TikToker and his pal to light it.
The local council has been urged to focus on the sale of the abandoned site.
Social media users noted that the centre still looks to be in a semi decent condition.
Local councillors keep an eye on the abandoned leisure centre, asking for updates on the facility.
Jamie's video received over 180,000 views on TikTok.
Most were left asking if the waterpark would ever open again with the eerie footage sparking a wave of nostalgia.

The One Show in last minute shake-up as Hollywood star pulls out of show due to sudden illness

THE One Show had to have a quick shake-up at the last minute, after a HUGE Hollywood actor was forced to pull out. Hosts Alex Jones, 48, and Vernon Kay, 53, announced during last night's episode that the movie star in question was unwell - but that a replacement had been found. 6 6 6 6 During yesterday evening's The One Show, Alex and Vernon welcomed guests Nick Frost, 53, and Mason Thames, 17, on to the famous sofa. They were on the show to chat about the hotly-anticipated live-action adaptation of How To Train Your Dragon. However, before the interview began, Alex revealed that Hollywood hunk Gerard Butler, 55, had pulled out of the chat, and his co-star Nick had stepped in. Addressing viewers the Welsh presenter said: "We're thrilled that you're here Nick because as we said last night Gerald... I can't even say his name so lucky he's not here, Gerard Butler was going to be here but he's ill so he couldn't make it but you've stepped in at the last minute so thank you very much." Nick then playfully apologised, and said: "Sorry everyone!" This then prompted Alex to declare: "We're thrilled you're here, thank you Nick." Despite his absence. Gerard's co-stars had nothing but praise for the Scottish star. Rising teen star Mason, who portrays Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III in the new movie, said: "He is really great and in this industry he is somewhat of a father figure. "He has a lot of good advice because he has been doing this for such a long time." He elaborated: "Listening to what he has got to say and the experiences he has been through is really helpful and it's cool to be on this journey with him as well. "Getting to do those scenes with him and the energy he brings to set, the scenes and rare emotional it's incredible to watch in person and to see on screen is incredible." The new How to Train Your Dragon movie hits cinemas on June 13. It is a live-action adaptation of the much-loved 2010 film. In the movie Gerard plays Stoick the Vast, while Nick's has the role of Gobber. 6 6 The synopsis for the family film reads: "On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup stands apart. "The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast, Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society." It continues: "With the fierce and ambitious Astrid and the village's quirky blacksmith Gobber by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. "As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. "Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader".
