Much like the SeaWorld parks in the U.S, guests at Ray Reef will have the opportunity to buy fish and feed it to the rays.
It appears Ray Reef missed its original Boxing Day opening target.
It's all very low to the ground.
As is fast becoming a standard on Intamin rides, Jet Rescue features separate load and unload stations.
The screens play a short clip of Trevor Long (Director of Marine Sciences at Sea World) congratulating you on your successful rescue.
The final saftey brake....part of the trains momentum is trimmed off on a shorter brake run prior to this.
On the return trip, the sealion you 'rescued' is nodding happily. Blink and you'll miss it though!
After rounding a forceful U-turn, guests enter a slalom, rushing closely past rocks.
At the exit of the cave guests punch through a cloud of mist....According to the story you have released the pressure, allowing the sealion to escape.
Guests then power through a second launch in a cave, where the ride hits top speed. In an alcove to the side you can catch a glimpse of the trapped Sealion you are on a mission to rescue.
The first part of the ride is well hidden. After being launched straight from the station, guests whip around a helix over a rock pool, before hopping over the launch track and swerving around into a cave.
Much like Corkscrew, the queue and station are contained in the one compact space, possibly owing to the lower demand for rides at Sea World.
The ride opens out onto the observation area for Corkscrew.
The shop and photo kiosk is the first thing visitors encounter upon entering the ride area. It also contains the lockers (The ride has a similar zero tolerance loose items policy to Superman Escape)
The climax of the show, where the car makes a long jump across the arena and crashes into a building.
We will conclude our series of Jet Rescue construction photos with a look back at how the site was just 6 months ago.
Circa 1993
It's not all brute force though, with some precision driving on display too.
