Jamberoo Action Park opened a new water ride precinct, Velocity Falls, this season and we’ve been out to give it a trial run ahead of the holiday rush.

A decade in the making, the $8 million attraction is home to two rides, The Octo Racer and The Stinger, which feature head-to-head racing and thrilling zero gravity drops.

Although the new attraction has meant the end of the much loved slide, Splash Out, the Park will be catching the eyes of more people with the new Stinger ride.

It is the high adrenaline ride that Jamberoo Action Park was missing. It involves standing in a drop box before the floor beneath you releases and you experience zero gravity sliding down the hill at high speeds.

It is a ride that might even make thrill seekers start to sweat (if it wasn’t for all that water).

The Octo Racer is the definition of a family fun attraction. It is a slide fit for the entire family, where you are free to make friendly rivalries as you race down the mountain side-by-side.

Like no other attraction at the Park, the precinct offers a total of ten slides - all with unique twists and curves. So, when you reach the bottom of the slide and race back up the hill to try another, you can choose a different experience every time.

“We have got a lot of great feedback from social media and reviews on the new precinct,” says marketing manager Grant Wright.

“I think a lot of people might miss Splash Out but they also appreciate the new ride for what it is.”

Like us all, he has his fingers crossed for good weather this season.
