Yep....that will be for a section with translucent bands of light. Look up "magic eye waterslide" on YouTube to see what it will be like.

Work Commences on a LatiTube 'custom' monster for Australia's new $120m Wet'n'Wild waterpark in Sydney. Details on exactly how big this wave system is are still a secret but the countdown has begun.

Hey guys, I've been a long time reader of this site for several years now and thought it was finally time to sign up and start posting! I wanted to get some opinions on if Wet N Wild Sydney does really good in the first few years, would it be possible that a theme park may also open up down here? Just something I've been wondering about.. Sorry if this has already been asked.

Melbourne? Yes of cause, as I'm sure you're aware Village Roadshow made a real serious attempt in 2008 and the government stuffed it up. Also VR were asking for a $100 million AND Weribbee Zoo on top of it. They asked for too much. Village will probably come up with another proposal in a few years time. Wouldn't be a water park though, as we have a few good smaller ones already(Adventure Park, Funfields, etc). Avalon Airport being closeby, the park being on one of Australia's busiest roads, and Geelong being a short drive away were the major reason they really pushed for that location. That airport is going International soon. Can't write off other Theme Park organizations from making proposals either. I know of at least 1 that is rumoured to be interested, won't say though.

umm Pretty sure he is talking about Sydney RWC...

Damn, Mobile Browser doesn't show "Location". Sorry, my mistake.

^No, I think what he meant is that if Wet n Wild Sydney does well, then a theme park in Sydney could become viable again too, perhaps as a sister park.

Melbourne was never mentioned at all.

Yes I see that now. I was a little confused by his "perhaps a theme park Down here" comment and not being able to see his location. After all it is a Themepark, a Water Themepark. Hence I thought "Down here" must have ment further south of Sydney! Lol! You get it now? Besides if it does do well, they MAY indeed think about a Melbourne park again! After all we've got over 4 million people as well, and only a few fun parks + a Luna Park to fill that attractions requirement. Perth is better off than we are in terms of Theme Parks.

Yeah I meant Sydney, sorry I should have said so. I really can't see how so many theme parks can survive in the Gold Coast and not in Sydney. Surely Sydney would be a bigger tourist destination and would have a bigger population??

I don't know why they didn't just go with the slide colours in that video. Dark blue, purple, green and lighter blue works much better for the master blasters than 2 SLIGHTLY different shades of red side by side

"The west's wildest wet ride - Skycoaster coming to Wet'nWild theme park"

The SkyCoaster is a wet ride? Surely not!

The colours have changed around in the past.

does anyone have any idea what they're doing?

It means the journalist was clueless and assumed that "ride at a waterpark" = "ride is automatically wet".

Yepp definitely agree with you there Gazza....

Hope you don't mind the watermark.....

Looking cool, but urrgh what's with all the random coloured out of place pieces? I do hope it was just a manufacturing error and they paint the outside to match.

Curious they got both a tantrum alley, and a rattler....aren't they really very similar rides?

"i'll take one of everything"

"i'll take one of everything"

Excactly. I think it's a case of this park having so many slides, it inevitably ends up almost doubling up on some stuff. A problem I'm happy for it to have. And I think there's enough of a difference between both the Tantrum and the Rattler for them both to be worthwhile. Certainly from a guest perspective they look different. I'm really looking forward to riding them!

Meh, more slides for all of us!

Your Wet'n'Wild Sydney......

Why is the first picture an intensely saturated version of the one in your last post?

Nearmap is still a bit behind in what we can see in Julys updates, but a couple of interesting things in the expanses of dirt:

-The Tornado has the framework up to fully enclose the funnel:
