Brand New Slides & Splash Zone!
Wet'n'Wild has just opened up four exciting new attractions just in time for Summer, featuring the tallest water park slide tower in Australia. Climb the tower to conquer three new slides:
- The KABOOM! features a 10-metre drop and 360-degree spins for the bravest of the brave. Plus a world-first master blaster and tailspin slide!
- Zoom down the 12-metre high Double Barrel raft slide with a partner.
- Race down the infinity bends of the Super Ripper body slide side by side and see who reaches the bottom first!
The kids also have a new chill-out spot in the tropical H2Oasis splash zone. This family-friendly zone is wheelchair accessible, and has plenty of shade and seating options surrounding the area.
The Extreme H20 Zone
Kamikaze is a cutting-edge, multi-million-dollar extreme water slide and should be the top priority for anyone visiting Wet'n'Wild this summer. It's the first waterslide of its kind in the southern hemisphere and combines a wet and dry experience. Jump on board the raft and glide down the U-shaped slippery slide which is lubricated only by water spray jets. On the way down you can reach up to 50km/h speeds and drop 11 metres at a 70-degree angle. It's extreme to the max but still fun for the whole family.
The name Tornado pretty much sums this ride up! It's one for adrenaline junkies as you start your wild ride from a 15-metre-high platform. Join 2 to 4 people in a tube and explode into the middle of a Tornado. Spin, splash and swirl through ominous waters and finally come to the end of the ride as you blast your way into the peaceful waters in the eye of the storm.
Looming over the Extreme H20 Zone is a messy knot of black tubes that is the Blackhole. The Blackhole is one of the most extreme rides in the Extreme H20 Zone which says a lot. Riders begin their ride by hopping into either one of the enclosed slides which sends them on a whirlwind ride in absolute darkness. You never know which way you'll twist and turn until you shoot out in your final splashdown.
