Water Slides

These water slides look pretty vertical here but they're not. On the other hand they are really steep. It takes a while to run up the 6 floors to get to the top but coming down only takes a few seconds!

There are much tamer ones on the right of these but of course the thrill seekers in our group didn't even try those - much too tame!

There were plenty of other fun things to do at Wonderland. The "Bush Beast" roller-coaster for example. We had to ride that baby about 8 times. Its the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere. It doesn't do any loops but its fast and furious and the old wooden structure rocks and rattles in the most interesting way!
