Jet Stunt Extreme is a live jet ski stunt show at Sea World on the Gold Coast, Australia. Following the successful trial from 16 December 2010 until 23 January 2011, the show returned on 17 September 2011 for an extended season. It stars several of the world's best jet ski stunt performers.

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 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.[12]
