T
he opening of new slide complex Fully 6 at
WhiteWater World is located on the Gold Coast,
right next to Dreamworld - Australia’s biggest theme park. The waterpark prides itself on its wide range of water rides and slides - suitable for kids of all ages, as well as those that remain kids at heart. Fully 6, WhiteWater World’s newest attraction, is the
Gold Coast’s fi rst waterpark attraction to be built in fi ve years. Inspired by the big waves and tubes of the Gold Coast surf, the ‘fully sick’ slide structure boasts the only tower in Australia, with six different body slides with multi-coloured natural light effect offering six unique ‘splashtacular’ experiences. Forming part of a $7-million investment into WhiteWater World, the opening comes just as WhiteWater World’s multi- million-dollar makeover wraps up, with parkwide refurbishments set to be complete shortly - including freshly painted slides and attractions, restoring them to ‘as new’ condition and giving the entire waterpark a fresh, updated look.
The slide experience Fully 6 invites guests to take the plunge across six unique adrenaline experiences. The slides are decked out with multi-coloured natural light effects, and are expected to ‘make a splash’ with new and returning visitors alike. A team of more than 40 local contractors, including creator Swimplex-Polin Australia, worked behind the scenes on the development of Fully 6, with construction starting in July. Paul Callander, Dreamworld’s chief strategy offi cer, said: “It was an exciting time for the theme park, which is thrilled to be launching the new attraction to the public in time for the summer school holidays.” Murray Booth from Swimplex-Polin Australia
added: “It’s great to be a part of a new era here at Dreamworld and WhiteWater World.” “As a waterslide supplier, we are not only doing waterslides; rather, we are able to offer a complete
guest experience package,” commented Sohret Pakis, Polin Waterparks director of marketing and communications. “We are in a position to offer more to our clients by integrating different parties, products and technologies to benefi t them and delight their customers, the park guests.” Polin was founded in Istanbul in 1976 and has
