Construction has begun on Wet’n’Wild Sydney in the western suburb of Prospect.
Village Roadshow has started initial clearing works on the $115 million project, which is expected to deliver 300 construction jobs and 300 permanent jobs.
The 25-hectare site, opened by Premier Barry O’Farrell, will even include an inland surf beach when it opens in December next year.
The park will have 42 slides and attractions including a 150-metre surf pool, a 70-metre wave pool with three-metre swells, the world's tallest looping tube complex and a double SkyCoaster.
The project is expected to attract 900,000 visitors a year, with 20% of those coming from interstate and overseas, and is expected to generate $500 million for NSW in its first 10 years.
