Attraction Overview
This ride, designed for kids and families, lifts guests up 40 feet in the air before gently descending back down, simulating the movement of a jellyfish bobbing up and down in the ocean. The ride gives a brief but breathtaking aerial view of the park and its surroundings.
The ride features vibrant, colorful sea-themed decorations that enhance the overall experience. Each parachute is attached to a brightly colored “jellyfish” and the entire structure is lit up with cheerful neon lights, making it a visual treat, especially at night. The ride is also accompanied by playful, undersea music that adds to the jovial ambiance.
