HALF a kilometre of waterslides have been transported in 13, 40ft containers from Istanbul to the Gold Coast for WhiteWater World’s newest multimillion-dollar attraction.

Six slides called Fully 6 will open at the Coomera-based theme park this summer, offering thrill enthusiasts a new way to cool down.

The waterslides have a combined surface length of half a kilometre, weigh more than 50 tonnes and will use on average 5 million litres of recycled water a day.

“Our six slides offer five totally different experiences and we are sure they will be a huge hit.

The new slides will be the first built at WhiteWater World in five years and are part of a $7 million investment for the theme park.
