Wipeout Course in Zoelen, Netherlands
I don't know how long ago this was introduced, but in Zoelen, the Netherlands, they have their own official Wipeout Course, well, sort of.
Some of the names of the obstacles are different to the names in the US version (the names are in English, even when the website's language settings are in Dutch and German).
More information can be found here:

Re:
We've talked about it before and they were looking to expand using a franchise system where for just a few hundred thousand dollars/pounds/euros you could set one up yourself. The website claims there are several others around Europe or due to be built around Europe but I think other than perhaps one that is pushing the truth - there certainly isn't one on the River Thames in London or in Salford as claimed.
Looks great fun though - but I think unless a revival really got off the ground in Europe the idea of launching water theme parks based on a show that ended a decade ago doesn't make good business sense.
