Well I was certainly amused by the last few posts but the thread is straying so I've now removed them.

WnW Sydney is getting a LatiTube, which is an Australian made version of a flowrider:

See the latest news http://www.latitube.com/

[jjuttp]

The tube on the LatiTubes don't look as "thick" as those on the flow rider.

[Alex Berriman]

To me the actual water flow doesn't look as smooth as the flowrider. Not sure if that will affect how it feels to ride. Looking at the flowrider the water flow is flat where this looks like there are just multiple jets lined along the bottom blasting water straight up.

For those interested, it seems the plans on this page are more reflective of how the park is going to be laid out (The final versions in other words)

hello all, just a few pictures to add to the forum:

Darn it, i uploaded the the same picture is the other .... where is that picture... oh yeah here it is...

[Alex Berriman]

Great photos. Looks like it's coming along well.

[Slick]

Suggestion to the mods for a thread name change? I think the answer is yes, construction has definitely started.

My Dad drives by the park daily to get to work ill try and post photos in the future of construction

[AllegroCrab]

I think LatiTube should invest in a new slogan. "Everyone Gets Tubed" doesn't really sound like a selling point to me.

The SkyCoaster is up:

Hello all, another update on your Wet'n'Wild Sydney, hope you like the pictures.....

What are those funnels with a cap/lid? I have never seen anything like them before. I am guessing that there is nothing more to them, then being a like all the other funnels except in the dark, but I am just asking to make sure.

Tantrum Alley. They all sit consecutive to each other.

[Gazza]

They are a proslide tantrum alley...There is one at watermarc banyule in Melbourne. ..they can be either open ended or enclosed. Imagine them like a minature version of the tornado, and you slide down several in a row. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaUL_u7CEC4&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I like the look of those slides in the middle picture. The red ones look like you'd get decent speed and the blue one looks like possible air time!

Is it my imagination or are the 2 middle master blasters 2 slightly different shades of red? Colour choices really baffling me

One seems to be more of an orange than a red, perhaps the time of day made them look very similar. Still, why put an orange and a red slide right next to eachother?

And can anyone explain the one piece of orange slide section in the purple slide on the far left? So random. None of the other slides have one out of place piece. What's going on?? (Photo taken from Thrill Zone International... which took it from somewhere else)

And the green piece on the left... At least it will be colourful I guess, or can it become too colourful?

[Alex Berriman]

Could have possibly been a mistake made when they built the slide and made that part the wrong colour?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

We did discuss this earlier - earlier photos of it showed random coloured pieces all over the shop - perhaps they've started correcting it and haven't gotten to all of it yet - there does seem to be a lot less 'mixed' pieces to what there was a month or two ago...

[lolman123]

and the white is a wearied colour to put on a water slide

[downunder196]

Is it just me or does each slide have one section with lines around it in the helix?
