Wet’n’Wild Sydney

Overview

If being lifted to a height 10m higher than the sails of the Sydney Opera House and plummeting to earth face-first at 120km/h sounds like your thing, you should both be seeing a psychiatrist and excited for the Sydney Wet'n'Wild opening.

The Parramatta theme park opens on December 12 and will boast more than 40 attractions, including some of the tallest and fastest water rides in the world. You'll also be able to skip the rips of Aussie beaches at the park, which boasts the country's largest man-made beach.

Basically, there are a whole lot of rides and such that are the biggest ever. Including prices, according to some pissed-off people. A one-day entry into the park will set you back $69.99 or $54.99 for those under 110cm. Gold season passes are also available for $124.99 that last until April. Unlimited access to the Gold Coast's Movie World, Sea World and Wet'n'Wild, however, is priced at only $100.

But with the new venue to stay open until 11pm and include nightly light shows from renowned light designer Bruce Ramus, it may just be worth it. And with free shuttle buses operating between Parramatta train station and the water park, surely it's worth a couple sun-soaked visits.
