The Wet ‘n’ Wild Junior Area features pint-sized versions of the park’s iconic rides
ProSlide, with both companies supplying two main complexes each and ProSlide also supplying all 10 rides in the Wet ‘n’ Wild Junior area. The first complex from WhiteWater
West is the “world-first” Whizzard Twist™ (H2Go Racers), which takes eight mat-racer AquaTubes and winds them around each other, propelling riders into a race to the finish line. This ride is accompanied by four duelling AquaLoops™ (360Rush) for side-by- side entertainment. The second complex offers riders a multitude of experiences in a thrilling eight waterslide complex that features four MasterBlasters, called The Breakers, and Australia’s first Rattler™ named the Typhoon. From Proslide, the park installations include the T5, the first and only dark Tornado 60 in Australia, and the Bombora: TornadoWave, which Warhurst says is “arguably the most popular attraction in the park with the longest
