Sydney's Wet & Wild At Capacity Yesterday

Wet'n'Wild and completely full

Sydney's newest theme park has been turning away visitors on Saturday after Wet'n'Wild reached capacity on the first weekend of the school holidays.

The management of the waterpark used Twitter to warn that it had been forced to put up its "Full House" sign

Several of its rides are also out of action, including the Doubles Bowlseye, the Curler, Riptide and Wet'N'Wild Junior, the park also revealed on Twitter.

"Engineers working on rectifying the problem ASAP," the tweet said.

It follows about 10,000 people being forced off slides and out of the water on Friday night after a thunderstorm hit western Sydney.

The mass exodus of people from the waterpark caused massive traffic problems around the Prospect site.

That would have been disappointing for some families

It looks like they rushed into getting the park open for the Christmas holidays without properly checking all equipment and taking the extra traffic into account.

Sounds like a disaster..rides not working..turning people away.. traffic jams when people all flee at the same time.

a "Wet & Wild" Theme Park in Sydney....

Seriously?

[icyfroth]

Sure. Why not?

It's hugely popular.

[**meep**]

Will eventfully visit it I guess, since its only about 30min drive.    Its where the Australia's Wonderland used to be. 

Looks like a lot of fun - its supposed to have the world's first combination of a four-loop and eight-lane racer.

It's actually off Reservoir Road at Prospect, Meep. Not the old Wonderland site at Wallgrove Road. Although I heard this morning that Wonderland was going to come back.

well, that's how much I know.. lol  Thanks Icy.   I thought it was on the old site.

Friends of mine get here early evening and its not so bad and open til quite late.

I saw a huge flashing sign today at about 10:40am that said car park full and to please not come, not sure what time they open, but people are super keen!

Wait til after Christmas when all the people who got passes as gifts (my son) will also be going!!

The water park near me at Jamberoo, might not miss out  on people from Sydney coming down after all.. if Syd one is going to be full at peak times, school hols, Syd people might as well head down to the Jamberoo one.
