Dreamworld Maintenance 2019

I don’t mind it! 🤷‍♂️ Certainly catchy and fits with the other slide names.

I don't mind it. It is a play on words, being 'fully sick' and that term matches the beach based names of most of their other rides. Yeah it isn't the best name, but it works.

Speaking of, the waterslides now have a name! An interesting one, for sure.. 

That is kind of dumb. Sounds like a name for a racing slid complex.

[Santa07]

I get the name after reading the above posts but seeing I didn't get it initially I am going to guess that's going to be the case for others too... Not a big fan

How is "Fully 6" (or "sick") beach based? I don't see the connection. 

[Brad2912]

I like it, and it fits in well with the existing colloquial names for their slides and beach culture etc. 

Honestly if you don’t “get it” or the reference, you’re either dense or living under a rock. 

And if you’re going to be picky - how is “the bro” beached themed? 

“Fully sick” is Aussie vernacular at its finest. 

[Gazza]

Yeah I don't mind it at all, it sounds fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Fully sick & Bro originates from NZ slang but being Coomera is the third Island of NZ, it fits.😀

The Bro may have a double meaning, but I’m pretty sure it’s Bro because it refers to the Blue Ringed Octopus

Yeah that was my recollection as well. 

 

Fully 6 is a great name. Its a bit irreverent , cheeky fun and ties in with the Aussie vernacular.

Whats not to like????

Really? I find it pretty inoffensive myself.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

...plus its easily updated when they add a 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th... even though one of them will be less 'fully' and more 'family' and everyone will complain that it isn't REALLY a Fully 9...

[themagician]

If they made it a 10 slide tower they could change the name to ‘Hang 10’

Absolutely fantastic to see the waterpark in such good condition now. It looks great! I do believe WWW is superior to WnW now - the owners actually seem to care about it. 

[themagician]

I saw maintenance working on the SuperTubes HydroCoaster today, with them walking on/around the first drop and first uphill

Once Fully 6 opens I think WWW will be the better choice and if they get a lazy river and one more tower with a thrill slide, they will become the superior water park. I’d say that WnW will get a new attraction/a before WWW make their next investment

I reckon that Wet n' Wild will get a new slide somewhere in the next 2 years since Movie world and sea world  have gotten their pretty recent investments

Anyone know what is happening with the log ride ? It says on the website that it's returning at the end of January but no work seems to have been done on it? Or is it to just get people to the water park to try out the new slides?

[rappa]

I would say WWW next step is getting that lazy river to really round out the park. 
Whilst the two parks may be ‘neck and neck’ on paper overall WWW is smashing WnW in every way because it’s fresh where as WnW is sadly very tired.
