Wet’n’Wild announces summer opening for new four-slide Zoom Zone attraction

May 9, 2025

Village Roadshow Chief Executive Clark Kirby has today announced details of the Zoom Zone waterslide attraction that will open at Wet’n’Wild on the Gold Coast this summer.

Replacing the recently retired Aqualoop slide, the new Zoom Zone will feature four new body slides, launching from the 17.6 metres high Zoom Zone tower.

Advising that construction has already commenced on the new attraction, Kirby stated “we are incredibly excited to bring these four new slides to the park with each having differing thrill levels to provide an experience for all our guests.

“Zoom Zone will be a kaleidoscope of colours with the four aqua-lucent tubes rejuvenating the top end of the park with the attraction nestled between the Aqua Racer, River Rapids and Constrictor.

“We are always looking at bringing new experiences to our theme parks and Zoom Zone showcases our commitment to the tourism industry and bringing visitation to the Gold Coast.

Explaining that the slides will have a variety of ‘thrill levels’, Kirby went on to say “we look forward to providing more information and names on the individual slides as we reach milestones throughout the construction period and encourage our guests to visit our socials to stay updated on the progress.”

Wet’n’Wild, which opened in 1984 as Cades County Water Park, has frequently revamped and replaced its rides in recent years.

In 2021 it launched Australia’s tallest waterslide and the H2Oasis aquatic play zone.
