WhiteWater World, Water park in Gold Coast, Australia
WhiteWater World is a seasonal water park in Coomera on the Gold Coast, next to Dreamworld. Its entrance building has a blue facade with marine graphics and a row of green leaf-shaped canopies above the turnstiles. A tall slide tower carries an orange dome roof with two white eyes above a circular platform ringed with black inner tubes, feeding a wide fan-shaped slide with yellow-orange upper lanes and blue-striped lower lanes.
The park opened on December 8, 2006, following a large investment and was designed as an expansion to the neighboring Dreamworld. Since then, several new water attractions have been added, broadening the original offering.
The park's ten original attractions were themed on Australian beach culture, and the name WhiteWater World echoes the white water of surf. The Wedgie, opened on 1 April 2011, was marketed as Australia's first looping water slide and the first ride in the country with a trap-door release.
The visit works best on sunny days when the weather is warm enough and the attractions can be fully enjoyed. Visitors should bring sun protection and swimwear as many areas are open to the sky.
One of the attractions uses magnetic technology to push boats uphill rather than just letting them slide down. This system combines elements of a water slide with those of a roller coaster and creates a surprising ride experience.
