CoCo Key Water Resort is brand that has been used for nearly a dozen hotel-attached water parks in the United States since 2006.[1] Currently, the brand is only used for a hotel and water park in Orlando, Florida. The brand was previously used for several water parks in the Northeast and Midwest.
At its peak, ten CoCo Key water parks operated, with each including indoor and outdoor sections and arcade rooms.[1] The CoCo Key theme is meant to resemble 1930s Key West.[2]
Current location
[edit | edit source]The CoCo Key Hotel & Water Resort in Orlando opened in April 2010.[3] This property was owned by CNL Financial Group when opened, though has since changed hands.[4]
Former locations
[edit | edit source]All of these locations were owned by Hexagon Investments, and were auctioned off in February 2011 (other than Arlington Heights, as it had been closed and sold off previously).[4]
