5 NEW SLIDES FOR WHITEWATER WORLD IN 2008

Post by Hurricane »

Well, it seems that WhiteWater World is due to DOUBLE in size in the next 12 Months, according to an article on "Roller-Coaster.com.au" The upgrades will feature 5 new attractions for the park, which will provide heavy competition for Wet'n'Wild Water World approx 5km down the road.

The Rides that WhiteWater World will be building are as follows:

The main feature will be a fourth 25m tall tower featuring three new water slides. Two of these will be ProSlide's Mammoth Slides, family raft slides similar to Mammoth Falls seen at Wet'n'Wild. The third will be the Tornado Alley concept, also from ProSlide. This is a ride which combines ProSlide's existing "tornado" funnels with a longer more traditional water slide. These slides will be located where Thunderbolt's station was and even encroach on Dreamworld to provide a unique backdrop for guests at the dry theme park.

In addition to the slide tower, the expansion will also feature a lazy rider, meandering around much of the remaining area. It will feature a "wave channel" that provides an added thrill for this typically sedate style of ride. Similar attractions include Wet'n'Wild's relaxing Calypso Beach, the first in Australia, and Jamberoo's Rapid River, which also features waves.

A large water play area will top off the new area, that also features extensive shade areas, additional amenities and food & beverage outlets, and extensive observation areas around the lazy river.

The expansion is due to open in late 2008 if the development application and all subsequent steps go according to plan.
