History

In early December 2010, Sea World announced that they would be running a new show called Jet Stunt Extreme throughout the summer holiday period.[5][6][7] The show was held twice a day from 16 December 2010 until 23 January 2011.[5][6] In an interview for the Gold Coast Bulletin, a Sea World spokeswoman stated that the show could be made permanent if the summer trial was a success.[5]

On 27 July 2011, Sea World announced that Jet Stunt Extreme would be returning from 17 September 2011.[8] The improved show will feature a rail slide and several ramps.[9][10][11] It was originally expected that the show would conclude at the end of the school holidays,[4] however, it will remain showing throughout November.[12]
