Water World (8801 N Pecos St. in Federal Heights) is gearing up for one of its most ambitious updates in years, and part of the project will include a new bar area. Comments from employees of the park confirm that it’s not just the property’s pools getting a refresh – there will be F&B upgrades too.
The facility’s Calypso Cove section closed in August after a more than 40-year run, and is set to be replaced with a new area coined Summit Canyon. Popular rides like Screamin’ Mimi, Tortuga Run, Pirates Plunge, and Wally World are being removed, and new attractions and dining/drinking options will take their place. The first rendering shows at least four pools, two large thrill slides, lounge areas, and shaded seating.
Denver Insider reported on the changes to the space, and a Water World bartender shared it “will also have a new bar in the area.” No official details have been shared. Past alcoholic concession options include The Lodge and the Cantina, its website shows.
A 70-acre venue managed by the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District, Water World is one of the country’s largest water parks. It was recently named by Newsweek as #2 in the nation for top facilities, KDVR writes.
