Wasalandia's visitor number peaked in 1990 and suffered badly in 1999 after car ferry tourism from Sweden based on tax free alcohol sales stopped.
Wasalandia was located on the island Vaskiluoto some 3 kilometres from downtown Vaasa. The nearby indoor waterpark Tropiclandia will continue its operations.
