FEDERAL HEIGHTS, Colo. (KDVR) — Water World traditionally opens up on Memorial Day weekend but on Tuesday, it announced the 2020 season is canceled due to COVID-19.
Water World said that after consulting with public officials, there is no indication that an aquatic park of its size and scope, which operates with larger guest attendance, will be permitted to open within the short summer operating season.
“With this information and guidance in hand, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020 operating season. We are deeply disappointed, and this is not a decision that comes lightly. Ultimately though, we care about our community and we’ll do our part to get our great State of Colorado back on its feet.”
Water World said it will make the following changes to passes:
- Guest Service
- All purchased Splash Passes (and associated Bring a Friend Tickets and upgrades) had already been automatically extended for use through the 2021 season. Additionally, each Splash Pass will automatically receive up to $30 in Future Fun Bucks to spend in the park as well an exclusive preview day to be held early in the 2021 season. Please visit our Guest Service FAQ page for additional Splash Pass information and other pass options.
- Any single day ticket with a 2020 expiration date had already been automatically extended to expire on the same month/day in 2021. Please visit our Guest Service page to find answers to many questions and additional information.
- For those asking about the availability of purchasing 2021 Splash Passes and tickets-thank you! Please visit our Guest Service FAQ page for additional information!
- Seasonal Team Members, please visit our Team Member Support Page for additional information.
- Our Maintenance and Operations Teams will spend the summer making enhancements to the park, so we’ll shine brighter than ever for opening day in 2021!
“We previously shared that as a community-owned summer destination we pride ourselves on both serving our community and creating amazing memories and experiences for our guests and team members alike. Safety and well-being of our guests and team members is, as it has always been, our top priority.”
Bob Owens, Water World
