The Calypso Cove section of the park — home to Screamin’ Mimi, Tortuga Run, Pirates Plunge and Wally World — will be closed beginning Monday, Aug. 25. So, time to get your last minute memories of a staple from our childhood!
“Calypso Cove will be retired and reimagined to make way for an exciting new chapter at Water World,” said the park in a statement.
“These changes will bring fresh attractions and modern amenities that will better serve families, groups and guests of all ages for years to come. We know how much Calypso Cove means to our community, and that saying goodbye is never easy.”
The last day to ride Screamin’ Mimi, Tortuga Run, Pirates Plunge and Wally World will be Sunday, Aug. 24.
Water World said a Calypso Cove farewell celebration will be held on Sunday, Aug. 24. The park said there will be free popsicles, mascots, swag and prize giveaways.
