It's been promoted as a water playground for western Sydney but the premium season ticket price for Wet'n'Wild in Prospect has left many locals high and dry.
The water park, which is set to open in December, recently began selling its "gold season pass" online for $124.99.
The pass allows one person unlimited entry to Wet'n'Wild Sydney from December through to the end of April, when the park will close for winter.
However there is no discount for children and even gold season pass holders will have to pay extra for parking, locker rental, food and the two pay-per-ride attractions in the park.

"I had been counting down to the opening but at these prices there's no way we'll be going," she said.
"We drive past the site all the time and my kids ask, 'is it December yet?'
"I think it's crazy to ask so much money for something that is only going to be open five months of the year."

The Blacktown Advocate asked its followers on Facebook what they thought of the premium ticket price and the response was overwhelming.
Many people mentioned it would be more affordable to head to the Gold Coast, with unlimited access to Movie World, Sea World and Wet'n'Wild Gold Coast priced at $100.
Others said they would be taking their families to Jamberoo Action Park, south of Wollongong, where a season pass costs just $90.
On its website, Wet'n'Wild Sydney claims the gold season pass will come with special discounts and exclusive offers, without disclosing what they are.
The website originally sold an allocation of standard season passes for $80 before switching to the more expensive ticket.
Wet'n'Wild Sydney management claims it is yet to finalise the price of a single entry ticket.
