White Water World, QUEENSLAND
Airing Date: Apr 28th, 2007
The
Gold Coast is undeniably Australia's theme park capital.
WhiteWater World is the latest player to arrive on the scene and the first new theme park for Australia in 14 years!
The $60 million theme park revolutionises the water park experience with adrenalin pumping thrills and family-style fun in the ultimate Aussie beach paradise. And it's located right next door to
Dreamworld!
There is something for everyone at WhiteWater World. For the young ones there's
Wiggle Bay. Complete with mini slides, interactive sprays, colourful water cannons and giant instruments, children can splash and play and spend all day composing their very own wet and wiggly music. Wiggle Bay is a safe and wet environment, filled with fun, plenty of shade and lots of bright colours.
For the slightly older crowd, WhiteWater World boasts four of the largest, the meanest water rides in the whole world.
The
Blue Ringed Octopus (BRO) is the world's first and only eight-lane Octopus Racer and riders hurtle down 120 metre tentacle tracks zipping around 270 degree turns. 8 lanes, up to 50ks an hour, and only one winner!
The
Rip launches you down 12 metres of pitch black terror as you get swept down the nation's biggest gurgler!
Super Tubes HydroCoaster is an intense roller coaster on water. There are only two of these in the world, this is the only one in Australia. It's the latest in water slide technology and comes complete with exhilarating drops and terrifying turns propelling riders up the steepest of inclines at the highest of speeds.
The Green Room shows just what it's like at the centre of the surfer's universe, inside the tube of a wave.
WhiteWater World was recently named one of the most water efficient water parks in the world in an independent third party audit by the Environmental Resources Management Australia. In an Australian first, WhiteWater World has installed the most cutting edge water saving technology in the world including a filtration system that reduces annual water wastage from backwashing by over 98.7%. That's a saving of over 22 million litres or 11 Olympic size swimming pools every year!
