Wet'n'Wild Sydney is a water park in Prospect, New South Wales, Australia, that opened on 12 December 2013. The park was announced on 11 September 2010〔〔〔〔 and is the third Wet'n'Wild water park operated by Village Roadshow Theme Parks, after locations on the Gold Coast and Las Vegas. ==History== On 11 September 2010, New South Wales Premier, Kristina Keneally, joined Village Roadshow Theme Parks' Chief Executive Officer, Tim Fisher, to announce Wet'n'Wild Sydney. The proposal detailed a water park in Prospect, New South Wales that was set to be one of the top ten water parks in the world. In a master plan created by Canadian water slide manufacturer, WhiteWater West, Wet'n'Wild Sydney was set to play host to a variety of attractions including two wave pools, two lazy rivers, a children's AquaPlay area, spas and volleyball courts. These ground-level attractions would be coupled by several slide towers featuring a variety of water slides including two AquaLoops, a Boomerango, dueling Master Blasters, a Super Bowl, an Abyss, a six-lane Whizzard, two family raft rides, and a collection of inline tube slides. The whole park was set to cost A$80 million, have a seasonal attendance of over one million visitors, and have a turnover of A$500 million in the first decade of operation. The commencement of construction was announced by New South Wales Premier, Barry O'Farrell, and Wet'n'Wild Sydney General Manager, Chris Warhurst, on 9 September 2012. The announcement detailed Village Roadshow would now be investing $115 million into the park ahead of its planned opening in late 2013. Plans for the $115 million park were designed by Water Technology Inc.〔 On 12 December 2013, the park officially opened to the public, after several days of soft openings. The water park was forced to cancel its 2013 New Year's Eve Festival with just six hours notice due to "a major technical production issue". The event, which was expected to sell-out, was promoted as Australia's "first ever music festival to be held at a water theme park". Village Roadshow later stated that the organiser's "management plan for crowd control and safety failed to meet Wet'n'Wild's standards".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-news/wetnwilds-many-problems-have-councillors-fed-up-20140101-30643.html )〕 The event was later moved to Australia Day.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theherald.com.au/story/1998860/wetnwild-sydney-cancels-new-years-eve/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wet'n'Wild Sydney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
