WhiteWater World
WhiteWater World Review
Directly adjacent to Dreamworld, and under the same management, is the Gold Coast's latest thrill-seeker's theme park, WhiteWater World. Here you'll find state-of-the-art water rides including the Blue Ringed Octopus (BRO), a convoluted eight-lane racer slide; The Rip, Australia's biggest corkscrew-cored whirlpool; the dual-bowl Little Rippers ride; an inner-tube "aquacoaster" ride known as the Temple of Huey; and the Green Room, a 65-foot-high "tube" simulating the inside of a monster wave; and the mat-free 'doom drop' of The Wedgie. Small kids will enjoy Nickelodeon's Pipeline Plunge, an aquatic activity zone; deposit toddlers at shady, supervised Wiggle Bay, complete with mini waterslides and water cannons. Learn to surf before or after public park hours with Get Wet Surf School for only A$75, including photos, transfers and a guranteed board stand up. Beat the queues with a pre-booked Q4U device and early-bird entry. The park is close to Coomera rail station; from there, catch a Surfside bus to the park.
