The complex has operated at this beachfront location for over 40 years.
The slides are gravity-fed and do not require motorized launch mechanisms.

The attraction is constructed of metal and fiberglass, typical of 1980s-era Australian outdoor amusements.
The Semaphore Waterslide Complex is a long-standing coastal recreational facility located directly on the Semaphore Foreshore in South Australia. The complex features a multi-lane waterslide that deposits riders into a shallow catch pool. It operates seasonally, taking advantage of the local summer climate. The structure is positioned adjacent to the Semaphore Jetty and the local beach, integrating into the broader seaside precinct. Visitors access the slides via a staircase leading to an elevated platform. It remains one of the few remaining examples of traditional seaside water slide attractions in the region.
