So, what can i say about Jambaroo, its got a variety of cool rides including the Taipan but lets take a closer look at the water rides at one of Australias most well known theme parks. so the rides are the Taipan, the Rapid river, the Rock, the Go carts, the taboggans and thats about it. oh, also include the wave pool, which isnt really a wave pool becuse your either drowning from the oversized waves or your standing in waist deep water when the wave pool is recharging.
So we’ll start with the Taipan. Its a five seater ride which leads you into the mouth of a Taipan and out of its Anus. So, the ride starts out into the oversized mouth of a pithon and into a pitch black spiral where if you go backwards into the ride, which one person will most definitely will, you have to make sure you dont snap your deck. A memorable quote while going down the Taipan included “OOOHHHH CHRISTINE or RAHULS BEEN PAINTED ON ALL THE WALLS”. And at the end of the ride, you exit out of the Taipans anus and into the grip of the grouchy life guard who is always shouting “DONT JUMP OUT So how do i get out? or STOP LET ME TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU”
Okay, lets move on to the Rapid River. Rapid, yeah right, a baby could have crawled faster than the speed of the water. the only memorable and in my opinion the best part of the ride was getting out. Also the floaties and the double floaties were a credit to the ride even though they seemed to go backwards rather than go forwards.
The next ride is the taboggans. like what a name. so you take a roughly 3 minute cable ride to the top of the peak. which is, should i say, about 20m higher than the stasrting post. this place really should get more personel. like, we had to wait five minutes vecause the guy was busy trying to hook the taboggans onto the seats but he kept moving. So at the top, there were two tracks, the experienced and the beginner. so where’s the (better than beginner and a little bit slower than the experienced?). so the experienced track was simple a winding track and was definitely better than the rapid river. the beginners track was a laugh, if you had an extremely long run up, you might be able to travel faster than walking speed if you are brave enough to go no brakes.
The Rock, its basically a concrete building with bits of rock plastered on to look like cliff face, about 8m tall. so you can jump off or take the slide, both are patheitc.
Gocarts, you might want to get a kids version of the go-kart. The pedals are so far fromt eh seat that you have to basically lie down and hope you dont crash into anyone as you cannot see anything.
Now, lets talk about the paths, either the paths are all hot, or extremely spikey. how are we supposed to travel around the rides without getting hurt. Bring thongs? well you could bring thongs, but that is an extremely bad idea as you are not allowed to bring shoes onto the water and i dont think you want to bring two pairs of thongs. one to walk up to the ride, and one at the bottom to walk up to the top to get your thongs up there and walk back down.
