Jamberoo
Reporter: James Tobin
It’s just as the song says, you control the action! James is back to have a look at this classic family favourite … and to take a sneak peak at the crazy new ride. Look out!
Taipan!
Get ready to face your fear with the Taipan! It’s the biggest water thrill ride yet and guaranteed to get your heart pounding. It all starts when you walk through the terrifying Taipan’s mouth…and there’s no going back.
Two giant waterslides each over 160m. Sit in 5 seater rafts for that group experience and all in complete darkness!
Hold your breath in anticipation as you face the gaping dark hole. Scream as you launch off and drop without warning. Hang on as you twist and turn in the darkness and gasp as you are viciously spat out of the snakes tail.
Be one of the first to experience the Taipan at Jamberoo.
You’ll be back for more.
Chairlift
Soar 300 metres up the mountain on the chairlift where the views from the top are stunning. On a clear day you can see as far as Kurnell to the north and Jervis Bay to the south. (Stats: vertical rise = 130 metres and length is 500 metres)
Billabong Beach
Get dumped at Billabong Beach. Ideal for the young ones because they get to play in shallow pools dodging jets of water from huge make-believe critters like Charlie the Croc, Percy the Pelican and Freddie Frog. Settlers Shack is a real hit with the youngsters. A giant bucket dumps 200 litres of water from the roof of the Shack.
