That place is a damm expensive day out if you want to take the family.
I simply cannot justify it myself.

Of course it’s expensive, it’s a mini theme park and Canberra’s lucky to have it. A lot of cities much bigger than Canberra have nothing like it.

Anything that gets the kids out and running around is OK by me.

By the way, awesome clip!!

Yeah but it wasn’t when I was a kid. I remember prices jumping when I was a teenager in the 90s but now it just seems ridiculous?? What happened? Insurance?

Ah that takes me back!! I still remember doing the Kamakaze standing up and getting the whistle blown at me.

Where are the new slides!? The video only has the old ones in it – I was looking forward to seeing what they look like.

I think act govt wants a fibreglass engineering cert done before they can start using I. Or something like that.

Not finished yet.

Unbelievable. I know they had issues fitting them in, and according to their (frankly, terrible) website the twister is now open, but who knows when that actually happened.

I’m with you on this one. They basically have no children’s prices – if they’re tall enough to ride the slides, they pay an adult price. So if you had mum, dad and two kids who could all ride slides, you’re looking at $100 just to get in. As a comparison, the same family at Wet & Wild on the Gold Coast – with at least 5 or 6 times the rides – would be $190. And if they’re charging those prices even before all their new stuff is open, it’s pretty terrible value.

Compare what you get for your money at Big Splash as a family, compared to Dickson Pool, with their water play area.

Seems the same old place as when I was a kid.

Go pro, a genuine technological wonder. Nice way to show one off.

Btw, dubstep is god damn bad but that track is even worse than normal.
