Race the Reds

Can you beat the Queensland Reds on the brand-new Aqua Ninja course at WetSide Water Park?

You'll have to be fast to beat Ethan Dobbins, finishing in a super swift 11 seconds!

The players recorded some lightning-fast times on the Aqua Ninja. Click here to view the Queensland Reds Race Results and check out the photo gallery below!

Made up of nine linked challenges which test strength, agility, co-ordination, and stamina. Water jets, cannons and dumpers are activated as participants move through the course.
