One thing I couldn't get past was how COLD the water is at most all of the attractions. If you can get past the crowds, long lines, and uphill hiking you'll probably enjoy the place. Sure wish I would have known that beforehand! A lot more raft conveyor belts would be a huge improvement to Water World. For an extra charge you can go to a shorter line and have a raft waiting for you at a few rides. We waited over an hour for some attractions, and you'll also do a lot of uphill walking - many times carrying a large raft. Therefore it's almost always packed - and I mean jam-packed. Since Water World is by far the biggest and best water park in a city as large as Denver, it attracts people from all over the metro area and beyond. This place is massive and loaded with great water rides and attractions. They should also consider installing lift systems for those big heavy rafts or just use regular inner tubes. I just wish that their lifeguards and moniters just simply assign all single riders with other single riders or with small groups of two which works fine with me and I would have a good time. At least for me one ride on my favorites was still better than none. At the end of the day, I left them a complaint but in a politeful way. I also noticed that other guests were allowing their friends cut in line while they were someplace else which was also rude to me since I would only see two of them and no friend to make it three or four. Lugging big heavy rafts uphill was exhausting along with hot sidewalks to burn your feet. Lucky for me I was able to get permission from other couples to ride with after telling them that it would easier for three people to carry the raft up compared to two people. I was very dissapointed and I felt I was discriminted while all of the other guests had friends while I didn't. The big rides such as Journey to the Center of the Earth and Storm were my favorites but I was barred from them after reading signs saying "NO SINGLE RIDERS". I had to visit this park as a single guest since I have no friends that wanted to come with me. Weather was sunny and hot and was the perfect thing for me. I will most likely visit water world again with my children but not until they are old enough to enjoy the rides and be somewhat helpful. We also used a locker for our money, which was 50 cents everytime you locked it (not bad). You can leave the park and come back in with your ticket stub. not sure how you would do that with small children. Sometimes carrying the tubes uphill can be a chore. There is alot of walking and I would recommend wearing shoes or flip flops that you can wear on your wrist during the rides. Children ticket prices are not much cheaper. I had a coupon for $6 off an entrance ticket but still paid $70 for my husband and I to get in. Was going to get a mini pizza but they were $9. MId-afternoon we stopped for nachos and a pepsi which was $7. We didn't take food in but that would be the way to go. The best ride by far was the Revolution it is fast, exciting and can ride 4 adults. the whole ride is black and you cannot see a thing, then it's over. It was probably the neatest ride with cool animation and it is a good family ride Not fast enough for our group. the journey to the center of the earth wasn't as great as I had thought. We didn't stop there until the end of our day so I wasn't willing to waste $30 at the very end of the day and go home. The tube vallet is only good for 3 rides (journey to the center of the earth and storm, cannot remember the other one), so I would recommemend it if you can use it first thing in the morning and throughout your day. We were there 5-6 hours and had to wait in line for at least half that time period. We grabbed a table near the wave pool and left a bag and towels, and nothing got stolen. Many tables to sit at and set up picnics, etc. so thank goodness we were a few that knew their way around. Recently visited water world on a saturday with a group of adults.
