The sinister looking entrance.
Safey is taken seriously on this ride, with lifeguards wearing harnesses at the top of the tower.
The rafts slide back and forth a few times before settling at the bottom.
...Before skimming straight up the other side to a great height.
The ride gets cracking with a very steep first drop.
The wheel in operation during Riverfire 2008.
Central plaza has a new feel, new bins, and new gardens.
The new roof is finally finished.
What's that around the corner?
Supports for a steeply banked U turn. In the background you can see the unique L shaped 'split' brake run the ride has. The space limitations of the site have most likley forced them to push the brakes into the corner as they have done.
Some parts of the ride are very close to the ground. Look to the left of the cardboard box in the middle of the photo, and a couple of supports only a few centimeters high can be seen.
Supports for a tight u turn. It appears this turn would be about halfway into the ride.
Lowering some track into place.
At the back of the site some rocky landcaping is going in.
Designed in Roller Coaster Tycoon? You decide.
Bank!
The all important pump and accumulators, that pressurise fluid to power the launch, are now in place.
In a Parkz exclusive, we can offer the first glimpse (literally) of the trains used on Jet Ski Rescue. They feature a contoured, tapered saddle (like a real jet ski) an a U shaped padded lap bar (Best described as an upside down version of the restraints seen on Superman Escape. Importantly, the trains seats feature a permanent backrest (Similar in Style to those used on an Intamin Aquatrax) rather than a sliding backrest as seen on Mick Doohans Motocoaster.
*Note: These photos were taken from a distance with a zoom. The photographer did not open, nor enter the shipping container.
