Wet 'n' Wild, Gold Coast
Wheelie Long Points:
Unfortunately Wet 'n' Wild is the biggest let-down for wheelies on the Gold Coast. There is only one wheelchair accessible ride and it was closed the days I went. The rest have stairs -- a lot of stairs -- so if you are not a strong walker, forget it. I was instructed I could not enter the wave pool unless a carer 'walked me in' and they repeated this several times to me and said that is what they were told. The only ride you might get some joy out of is if you have someone to pick you up and put you in a rubber tube at the lagoon. That is quite fun and you can sit in them as long as you want. The toilets are good and the kids play area is fun but the day in terms of wheelchair accessibility and equality is really bad. |
