The famous Gold Coast theme park has a western Sydney version with more than 40 slides, including a 360-degree loop slide that hits speeds of up to 60km/h. At the heart of the park is Australia's largest wave pool. Queues on summer weekends can take the edge off the experience. There's no close public transport. At peak periods a shuttle runs here from Parramatta station.
