After more than four decades, Water World is adding new attractions.
Construction is underway in Thornton at Water World. The new area is called Summit Canyon and is located where Calypso Cove used to be.
The Calypso Cove section of the park — which was home to Screamin’ Mimi, Tortuga Run, Pirates Plunge and Wally World — had its final day in August, ending its run after more than 40 years.
The water park unveiled the first rendering of the new area, which is scheduled to open in the 2026 season.
“Summit Canyon will offer something for everyone with unique thrill rides and spaces for children to play while parents relax,” said Bob Owens, Water World’s deputy director of enterprise services. “And with more modern amenities, we’ll be able to offer events and experiences entirely new to Water World.”
Saying goodbye to the old rides is never easy, but get ready for new attractions that will have you smiling in no time.
