Whether you’re a tourist or a local, it’s advisable to buy ‘Summer Fun
Pass’. If you do your math, ‘Day Pass’ is $64.99 (adult), $54.99 (child 4
– 12 years) – for one day only, while the ‘Summer Fun Pass’ gives you
entry to the park a total of 65 days for $94.94. If you go twice with
the ‘Summer Fun Pass’ it works out cheaper than the ‘Day Pass’. I can
guarantee you, that if you have younger children like myself, you will
definitely go there more than once and yes… I did buy ‘Summer Fun Pass’
because it’s the smartest thing to do.
Jamberoo Action Park is opened
10am till 5pm, plenty of free parking available, bathroom facilities,
eateries to dine at and lockers to store your valuables for $10 per day
hire. Trust me, you will need a locker, you don’t want to lose or ruin
your valuables in the wet and wild rides? The locker works on a pin
system, reasonably sized – not too small and not too large… just the
right size and you can access it many times during the day. Here’s
something exciting… the lockers allow you to charge your devices while
you’re having a great time splashing about. Just bring along your
charger and cord to plug into the power board inside your locker.
What
rides do I recommend? ALL of course, especially if it’s your first time
there! Everyone has different tastes in rides but my favourite,
exhilarating rides are ‘The Perfect Storm’ ranking as my #1 followed by
‘The Funnel Web’ as #2.
The Perfect Storm is a four seater ride, where
you start off smooth until you reach your first drop, giving you a
simulator experience of being stuck in a tornado, where it’s all dark
with flashes of lightning and the ride only gets rougher – a bit hard on
my tail bone but that didn't stop me from going on that ride again -
love the ride. However, not a good ride for those who are afraid of the
dark or bad back.
The Funnel Web is also a four seater ride and similar
to The Perfect Storm, only you’re not in the dark – this would suit
those people who want a similar ride to The Perfect Storm but not in the
dark. That’s why these two rides are my favourites because they’re just
exhilarating rides.
If you don’t want to go on rides and want to go to
the beach, you can go to ‘Outback Bay’. It’s a huge pool where you can
swim or catch a wave (staff pre-warns you when the waves are coming –
about every 15 minutes) or simply relax on the sand or deck chairs and
soak up the sun.
If ‘Outback Bay’ doesn’t suit you, there’s ‘Rapid
River’ where you can casually enjoy floating along the rapids on the
rubber rafts. It can be rough hitting the rapids and the waterfalls (not too rough though) or
you can simply avoid it.
There’s also a section for younger children to
enjoy – family friendly place with loads of rides to enjoy. There are
two ‘dry’ rides as well, ‘Bobsled’ and ‘Chairlift’, where you are
required to wear your clothes – your swimwear is not adequate, this is
when the lockers come in handy.
There are two tracks on the ‘Bobsled’
one with high speeds and the other with less speed – the choice is
yours. Or ‘Chairlift’ where you can enjoy breathtaking views. I could go
on with all the rides, but it’s best if you experience the rides first
hand – words cannot justify the experience and thrills of these rides.
We had lunch at ‘Bombora Seafood’, where we had fish ‘n’ chips of
course. It costs $14 per meal but I can honestly say you get your
money’s worth. As an adult, I was struggling to finish my meal while my
teenage daughters couldn’t finish their meal – and they are good eaters!
But they are not limited with just fish ‘n’ chips, they sell burgers,
pies / sausage rolls, hotdogs, sweets, ice-creams, etc and beverages
both hot and cold drinks. A well-thought out park that will cater even
for the fussy customers both rides and food.
