I've noticed this at WnWS as well and heck that park isn't even a year old! (Is it even six months old?) I've even noticed patch work with tape being done on some of the slides! Ugly gray/silver tape over the coloured plastic... Looks so cheap.

I usally see an amusement park as a place that has transportable rides, wheres a theme park has permanent ones.

I read some where on Facebook a great wise man hypothesed the use of the "¿" as the symbol for sarcasm... Just an idea.

All good points but I can't get over what could have been... I don't know why i'm taking it so personally tbh, its just a theme park! I personally wouldnt haven minded waiting till this summer if it ment we got the original park. Also how is it possiable that the slides are already getting covered in tape from what I assume are cracks and holes?! It's not even 1 year old! (is it even 6 months old?) I also forgot to say in the opeing post how awful the food outlets are! Especially the one between the WnW Jr area and the lockers.

Ohhhh now I get ya!

Thank you

No, Foodworks.

I'm lost

So turbine is just a sarcastic term you guys use since the addition of turbines as props to the Tot2?

Just read on Wiki that the original White water plans were estimated to cost $80 million and the Water technology plans costed $115 million! Why would they build a more expernsive park that is complete s*** compared to the orginal plans? VHRS is building a WnW in Chia so i'll be interresting to see how it turns out.

So how does one count "turbines"? is a tree counted as a turbine?

What is a turbine in ride terms?

Ohhh ok. So it's kinda like rebuilding an engine? Do we know if they're re-themeing it?

I've been reading here for a while but after my vist to WnWS I had to join! I've read in another thread they were moving the wipe out so I assume thats true? I'm a he btw

So far it looks like it went through 2 design stages before ending up with what we got. I'm gussing this is the 2nd proposal:

"putting a Perspex space shuttle encasement over the seating and naming it Mars: Expedition Wipeout."

If this park was built instead of what we got I think it would live up to the websites descrition of "Biggest n best". Edit: I'm finding some great concept art of the parks proposal: '

Are you serious?

What are they doing to the wipe out?

Hello, So this is a rather depressing first post but anyway... On Friday I finally made it to Wet n Wild Sydney for my first visit! Are reading all about it and seeing the concept/propsal pictures and videos I was really excited to see this rather enormous project come to fruitation. Upon entering the park I have to say I was very underwelmed... The layout of the park was very basic for a "World class water park". Don't get me wrong the rides are excellet but the landscaping, decor, signage even the buildings look so cheap! The slides were already starting the fade and some of them even had tape covering already developing cracks! One tower was looking flooded from leaking pipes! The biggest let down was the wave pool. After seeing the concept picture below I was expecting waterfalls, palm trees, rocks... all it was, was a pool with 'Wet n Wild" on it... What happened to this park? Why did they decide to scrap it and go with a cheap verson? Also does anyone have concpet pictures for any of Australias other parks?
