There seems to be a fair amount of tree removal work at the moment. Sydney hasn't hardly any rain since the commencement of the works so it's been a good start.

Media Release made on the 9th of September 2012:

　 Wet‘n’Wild Sydney: The countdown begins! Construction underway on the world’s best water park 09 September, 2012 The countdown is on to the opening of the world’s best water park, Wet‘n’Wild Sydney. NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell today formally commenced construction of the $115 million Wet‘n’Wild Sydney which is being built by Village Roadshow Limited on a 25-hectare site at Prospect. Wet’n’Wild Sydney is scheduled to open by summer 2013 with a world class array of thrilling slides and attractions for the entire family. Mr O’Farrell today also revealed the "first look" at Sydney’s new waterpark unveiling a number of world-first designs that will be features of the park. "Wet‘n’Wild Sydney is a world-class attraction for our world-class city and will cement Sydney’s place on the global theme park map, as home to the best water park in the world," he said. "It’s a great project for our city and our state. Today it’s delivering jobs in building and construction, and next year jobs in the entertainment and leisure sector.," Mr O’Farrell said. "Wet‘n’Wild Sydney will get pulses racing for both the young, and the young at heart.

"By the end of next year, we’ll be ready to launch Sydney’s biggest and best ever summer when Wet’n’Wild Sydney is open for fun," Mr Fisher said. "At the heart of the action will be Australia’s best beach. "Featuring a surfable wave, this amazing attraction will put the beach with-in reach for everybody," Mr Fisher said. Wet‘n’Wild Sydney will boast 42 slides and attractions including;

• [*]

Combination of a loop and mat racer: a World First; [*]Double SkyCoaster; the World’s Tallest, and [*]Beach with no rips and no sharks!: the World’s Best. The project is also set to deliver significant economic* benefits:

• [*]

Attract around 900,000 visitors per year; [*]Create more than 300 equivalent full time jobs during its construction and operation; [*]Generate more than $500 million in economic activity for the local economy; and [*]Anchor a powerful clustering effect for associated tourism related employment and businesses. Water conservation will be an essential part of the culture of Wet‘n’Wild Sydney with an integrated Water Management Plan to identify, evaluate and implement best-practice water conservation. This will include state-of-the-art water efficient design, filtration and recycling technology to maximise water re-use on site, including use of recycled water to meet 90% of the park’s toilet, landscaping and hard surface wash down requirements. Wet‘n’Wild Sydney is being developed by Village Roadshow Limited, Australia’s largest ASX listed theme park and entertainment company.

For the media attending the actual announcement at the Wet 'n' Wild Sydney construction site, they were given a flashdrive containing a Sustainability and Environment Fact Sheet, a Fly Through and an album of JPEG images of the slides. Also, they have updated Wet 'n' Wild Sydney's website on the 9th of September 2012:

A lot of media articles on it today. Here's a link to ninemsn on a grainy video of how Wet'n'Wild Sydney will look upon completion. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8529941/western-sydney-to-get-new-theme-park

That video appears to show a lot more than what was originally in the plans. There looks to be a Skycoaster; Wet'n'Wild Jr-style area; a cross between a ProSlide Octopus and Kraken Racer; four AquaLoops instead of two, a standard Boomerango, a Bowling Alley and a Tantrum as well as some extra stuff which was in the original plans. Hopefully things like the Dueling Master Blasters are still in their final plans.

Surely they HAVE to have kept the duelling master blasters. That will/would be the best part

You can see the master blasters top right in this image: http://images.ninemsn.com.au/resizer.aspx?url=http://news.ninemsn.com.au/img/2012/world/0909_wetnwild_9.jpg&width=310

Further to my last post:

• [*]it seems the investment in the park has gone from $80 million to $115 million [*]the Skycoaster I mentioned will be a double Skycoaster and will be the world's tallest which would place it 90m+ high [*]there is also a FlowRider

There were 2 lots of plans released, and it looks more like the later one from what i've seen, i haven't watched the videos yet....

LIES!!!!!

LIES!!!!!

That giant Maple-Leaf looking like thing is Prospect Resivour....

^ I think Gazza was more so pointing out that the M4 doesn't run directly into the CBD as the video suggests.

It's been a while since I went to Sydney, but weren't there plans to extend M4 under parramatta road to connect up to the airport somewhere???

Vid looks awesome, I hope it turns out looking like that in the end

I do find it kind of odd the park will have a Boomerango ( see 1:09 ) and a Tornado Wave (see 1:23) From 1:05 to 1:14 you can see an overview of the quad master blaster. Edit: Hey, might as well just do the full breakdown of everything seen so far: 0:23 Double Wave Pool, Double Skycoaster 0:26 Dark Tornado , Tantrum Alley, Tornado Wave. 0:44 Kidz Tantrum, Kidz Racer, Various Childrens Slides 0:58 Kraken Octopus Racer, Aqualoops 1:06 Quad Master Blaster, Family Rattler, Boomerango, Raft Slides 1:11 Flowrider 1:16 Constrictor (Dark Green, on right) 1:18 Lazy River 1:20 Bowling Alley, two cloverleaf slides Hmm, the only thing I cant seem to find at the moment (That I would have expected) is a Rainfortress type play structure....At 0:50 you can see a standalone tipping bucket out in one of the pools, but nothing like what Whitewater World/Adventure World/Bucaneer Bay have.
