The Parkz Update: Wet'n'Wild Water World, June 2010

The summer is shaping up to be a huge one at Wet'n'Wild Water World with the addition of Australia's first looping slides. If you didn't catch it, their competition to name the slides that we here at Parkz have been calling AquaLoop for many months closed and Wet'n'Wild announced the winning entry. Introducing (drumroll)... AquaLoop!

Update By Richard Wilson
28 June 2010

Before we get onto the AquaLoop construction, we have an important update in the world of paving.

Like with WhiteWater World's Eagle Boys, Wet'n'Wild have Domino's throughout the park.

You needn't travel far between slides for a pizza fix.

Calypso Bar features plenty of bright shade sails. I should be a good vantage point to watch the flowrider.

You heard right. We were scratching our heads at what this giant pit was, but it has since been announced that Wet'n'Wild are building their own FlowRider, named Endless Wave.

They've done the sensible thing of including a water attraction in a water park, not a dry park.

And here we are with AquaLoop. Plenty of dirt thus far.

This picture is interesting because you can see what was below ground level at the bottom of the now relocated Speedcoaster (Speecoaster and Twister now have a new home at Big Splash water park in Canberra for those of you who haven't been following the forum discussions).

The shade structure haven't made the trip to Canberra though.

Supports, reinforcing, escape ladders, and stairs have been delivered for the new attraction. No slide segments yet though.

'The time has come to...Galvanise'.....And finish this update.

That's The Parkz Update for another month. Remember school holidays are currently on and many thousands of discount annual passes expire shortly so the parks may be a bit busy for the next few weeks. It is of course worth it to catch some of the seasonal attractions, but don't expect to get too many rides done in a day.
