Mt Druitt water works?
Bingo. That is the site. Not sure if the actual site was larger though. I remember the theme song went something like this "the waterworks so conquer a tube now"

Mt Druitt water works?
It was where Belmore Ave turns right next to the railway line on this map. The first corner block on the left hand side heading towards the Kurrajong Ave roundabout.

That actual billboard has only been built in the past few months hence late night lane closures for construction. Maybe they previously advertised on a tree or on the back of bats that inhabit that area?

Heading towards the Blue Mountains on the M4, about a kilometre before the W'N'W Sydney site Jamberoo have advertised their season pass on a large billboard. Well played Jamberoo.

Thanks Captain Obvious. I understand why people don't post on here and just browse. People like to update those who won't get to see it in its building stages yet you need to post utter dribble in return. Please Captain Obvious, tell us more.

It's looks great. The different colours of the ride stand out brilliantly. It catches the eye straight away when driving past. I think building that first ride close to the M4 was a good idea as there is no doubt W'n'W Sydney has arrived. There hasn't been much rain in western sydney over the past month so no problems keeping on track with the building completion times.

Definitely coming along well. The site always looks like a hive of activity. It will be interesting to see if the NSW Government and Wet'n'Wild come up with a ticket linking public transport and amusement park entry. There was a WonderLink ticket when Wonderland was operating. When the Easter Show is open they have ShowLink.

Looks like the structure that will hold the first ride is nearing completion. The stairs leading to the beginning of the ride have been completed.

The pylons that have been put in place look like they are for the Abyss master blaster going off the proposal map layout of the park.

Pylons being installed today near the M4 side of the site.

Finally a banner placed on one of the shipping containers facing the M4 for drivers heading westbound advising of Wet'n'Wild Sydney. Not the biggest of banners and I still think a bigger sign next to the M4 facing both directions would be more beneficial. Still, at least it's something.

Over 300 trucks delivered Wet'N'Wild's water slides to Prospect site [*]Peter Theodosiou [*]Blacktown Advocate [*]February 13, 2013 Sydney residents. "The vast majority of those interested parties are from the western suburbs and we are really happy about that," he said. "That's including the construction and tendering jobs that are also going through." The park is scheduled to open by December and will generate more than $500 million in local economic activity over the first 10 years of operation. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/over-300-trucks-delivered-wetnwilds-water-slides-to-prospect-site/story-e6freuy9-1226576750859 I really hope they do not close the drive-in. It's the last one in Sydney & I would prefer to go there to watch a movie rather than a cinema. A great piece of history.
