WET‘N’WILD’S FAMILY POOLS & ATTRACTIONS:

Calypso Beach:

Calypso Beach is a seasonal attraction providing a great way to relax and unwind.

Drift down the slowly moving waters through the tropical gardens, past the remains of an old pirate castle and through the Caribbean shanty town.

With a number of shaded beach areas along the banks of Calypso Beach, it is the perfect place to put your feet up and wind down. 

A unique and calming attraction for all ages.

Wet‘n’Wild’s Giant Wave Pool:

Constant lifeguard supervision ensures Wet’n’Wild’s Giant Wave Pool is a safe and enjoyable place to experience the simulated surf.

In the hotter summer months, The Giant Wave Pool becomes a ‘dive-in’ movie theatre, playing host to the latest release movies every Saturday night.

Dive‘n’Movies are included in the entry price of Wet‘n’Wild, with some slides and pools remaining open until the completion of the movie.

Thrill rating: Chilled

WET‘N’WILD’S THRILL RIDES:

The Tornado:

Being one of four slide attractions in the Extreme H20 Zone, The Tornado offers a great ride for the thrill seekers.  From the 15 metre high platform riders will experience the ultimate drop into the eye of the tornado.

Thrill rating: Extreme

Surfrider:

Surfrider offers something a little extra and different to the numerous versions of slides and water-based attractions that are found throughout the Wet‘n’Wild water park.

Although, different in its appearance and design, the sensation of this ride could easily be compared to Dreamworld’s Claw.

Height Restrictions: 140cm minimum

Guests with neck or back conditions should not ride. Expectant mothers are not permitted to ride.

Thrill rating: Extreme

The Kamikaze:

Sitting face-to-face in the two-person raft, riders will get to experience the 70 degree, 11-metre drop into the giant u-shaped slide.

The Kamikaze will have its riders gripping the handles, as it propels to speeds up to 50km/h.

Height Restrictions: 110cm minimum

Two riders are required, with a maximum combined weight for both riders of 180kg

Thrill rating: Extreme

Aqua Loop:

Standing on the trap door platform with arms and legs crossed, it is hard to know what to expect…and then suddenly the trap door opens and you get dropped into the Aqua Loop speed slide.

With speeds up to 60km/h, and a giant loop, be prepared for a face full of water on this ride!!!

Height Restrictions: 110cm minimum

Thrill rating: Extreme

The Black Hole:

As the name suggests, The Black Hole is an enclosed water slide that is pitch black.

With no sight to guide you through, the ride continually surprises, as you never know which way you are turning next.

The Black Hole is one of four slides in Wet‘n’Wild’s Extreme H20 Zone.

Height Restrictions: 110cm minimum

Thrill rating: Extreme
