Water World is planning to give you the ride of your summer.

Summit Canyon, the Denver-area park’s largest development since 1986, is on track to open in June.

“It’s called Summit Canyon to reflect this outdoorsy state park/national park theme,” said Kellie Flowers, Water World’s community relations manager. “It’s celebrating Colorado’s great outdoors.”

To make room for the new area, the park closed 40-year-old Calypso Cove at the end of last season.

“It gave us great memories, but it was reaching its end-of-life phase,” Flowers said.

The 2.5-acre Summit Canyon will be anchored by the 60-foot Lookout Tower, now the highest point in the park and the base for four new waterslides: two tube rides and two body flume rides.

In Aspen Falls, the metro area’s first drop-capsule waterslide, a rider enters an enclosed capsule where, after a countdown, the floor drops out and the rider plummets down the slide.

Half of Columbine Cascade, a body flume ride, is made of clear fiberglass so it feels like you’re “flying through space,” Flowers said.

Marmot Mayhem, a tube ride and one of the first of its kind in the country, features two corkscrew elements and a 360-degree panoramic view.

Runoff Rapids, another tube ride, offers high velocity and quick changes in direction. Both tube rides can be ridden solo or as a pair.

The new area includes seating for 700 people, a leisure pool, two activity pools — one with an on-water obstacle course and the other with in-water basketball hoops — and a 7,500-square-foot children’s play area with five slides.
