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. The show was held twice a day from 16 December 2010 until 23 January 2011. 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.
On 27 July 2011, Sea World announced that Jet Stunt Extreme would be returning from 17 September 2011. The improved show will feature a rail slide and several ramps. It was originally expected that the show would conclude at the end of the school holidays, however, it has remained as a permanent addition all year round.
In January 2013, Sea World spent $140,000 on a water powered jet pack which became part of the Jet Stunt Extreme show. The machine allows the pilot to reach heights of up to 8 metres (26 ft). Two members of Jet Stunt Extreme's cast have been trained to operate the jet pack. Sea World plans on purchasing a second jet pack in the coming months.
