Wet n Wild gold coast really needs to paint most of their slides. As well as that the park should also get some bew slides such as:

-New Tornado 32 Mammoth slide (Maybe similar to old Mammoth plunge)

-A new HydroMagnetic Mammoth Tornado (With a conveyor belt) to replace the existing Tornado slide

-A new Bowl+Wall Hybrid From proslide like the Tsunami surge at six flags over georgia

-A tantrum Alley

This as well as revitalising the back of the park (Removing Extreme H2O branding, Opening up new lockers and maybe a snack bar)

Why not (mach) 5?

Well WWW are getting 6 new slides. Might just be one attraction, but that has 6 slides within it 

[themagician]

Turns out the park has been doing some construction. They’ve built a slab of concrete between the wave pool

Rollercoaster? It's a waterpark.

Well, they did install a halfpipe...

I get that - i'm saying it would be highly unusual for WnW to install another rollercoaster even though they already have one. You'd think their focus would be slides, given their rather lacklustre lineup compared to other parks?

Just sent a photo of the new concrete slab by the wave pool to Bikash and he said an announcement would be made soon. By the looks of it new slides are coming 🤞

[themagician]

It’s good they are expanding the park like that, but hopefully it is something awesome because a massive slide tower right behind the wave pool could look out of place 

[Mc coaster]

Maybe this could be the slide wheel.

Yet, we still don't believe you.

Whatever it is, its a bloody weird placement if it is an attraction. The back of house area behind the wavepool is a ridiculous placement for a new slide when they have so much area in the H2O zone that is unutilised - all of the picnic space, the buggy space, mach 5...

That area is used to store mobile carts, and as a maintenance area (in May, the surfrider train was stored there). They've made no effort to clear much of the crap stacked around that site either. I'm pretty confident that it isn't going to be a slide.

The finished slab also has no piping like one would expect would be underground for a new slide complex.

The only thing that piqued my interest was the obvious trenching that had been done prior to the slab being poured as seen in the shot below (bottom left end of the trench) - but my guess is probably electrical, or drainage.

Looks like it's just a concrete hardstand area for park vehicles try and change my mind 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Yeah look - going back over 10 years of nearmap, the concreted area has never been used as anything more than a road way, and it does look like they've resurfaced the bitumen in there on several occasions. The trucks and cranes moving in and about that area probably do tear up the ground a bit - especially on hot days, so hardstand is likely - but it's odd that they haven't run it through the whole area (ie - up to the access gates) as they're just going to tear it up the moment the vehicles leave the concrete.

Honestly though - if the Bikash claim is legit, it wouldn't be the first blowhard lot of hot air we've ever had from that corner.

Pretty easy to prove if its legit too. odd such a claim isn't being backed up.

Watercoaster is the next logical addition to WNW in my opinion.

I would love a fearless river like from Volcano Bay, but I don’t think WNW would spend on decent theming for it, and it’s not exactly a big selling point to draw crowds in.

Posted on their Instagram is a teaser video of a tube floating past the camera....

Dive in movies?

That was my first thought 🤷🏻‍♂️

[A.H]

We know it has something to do with waves 

[Brad2912]

I’d be super happy with the reintroduction of Dive In movies with a post-4pm entry price over summer on movie nights.

negligible capital wise unless the projector needs replacing but they can no doubt source one relatively easily

[themagician]

Maybe the slab is for a new giant screen or projection system?
