Here’s a sneak peak at Water World’s new pools and rides, opening in 2026
Water World’s latest big project will bring thrill rides and waves to the Federal Heights attraction, but also peaceful rest areas, when it reopens for the 2026 season, officials said.
The park’s newest addition, Summit Canyon, is on track to open in the spring when it replaces the four-decade-old Calypso Cove family area, the park said on its website. The first renderings shared by Water World show at least four new pools and two long water slides in the area, with room for dozens of deck chairs and umbrellas on the east side of the development.
“Get ready to trek over tumbling waters, rush down avalanche-speed slides, unwind by peaceful shores, and discover new ways to play in Colorado’s biggest waterpark,” officials wrote online.
The former Calypso Cove closed on Aug. 25 after the water park retired its Caribbean-themed area, which was aimed at young kids and their parents with attractions such as Pirates Plunge, Wally World, Screamin’ Mimi and the grass hut-themed Caribbean Family Adventure play structure.

The park promised at the time that “these changes will bring fresh attractions and modern amenities that will better serve families, groups, and guests of all ages for years to come,” according to a statement.
The 70-acre park with more than 50 attractions typically reopens for the summer each Labor Day weekend, although no dates have been shared on its website just yet. Operated by the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District, a public entity, Water World last year won Second Place in Newsweek’s annual Readers’ Choice Awards.
It opened in 1979 and has welcomed more than 15 million visitors, according to a statement.
