Wet'n'Wild Gold Coast

Aquatic

Inside the plant room, where all these pumps will soon be located in a neat line along here. The gantry above allows very easy removal and replacement of slides for servicing.

There are different sizes of pumps for different purposes. Some will pump the main supply of water to the top of the 27 metre tower, some will supply water to Kaboom's uphill sections while some will provide water to the water effects in H2Oasis.

The segments are assembled on the ground into quite long sections of slide, to be hoisted up onto the tower in the background in coming weeks.

Even the most simple lengths of slide are comprised of many individual segments that need to be assembled on-site.

The assembly process includes bolting together the prefabricated fibreglass sections, waterproofing the joints. Despite different parts being manufactured in different factories, the process is time consuming but seamless.

The 'Tailspin' element is the single largest component of the Kaboom! Master Blaster. It is being fully assembled on the ground before being lifted into place in one piece.

Blue, purple, yellow, green and orange slide parts have arrived at site. Easiest to see are the large sawtooth pieces for the tailspin elements used on Kaboom! This part of the slide will eventually be like a large tilted dish you slide around the edge of.
