As Jamberoo Action Park's 2015/2016 season finishes on 25th April 2016, here is an update: In my post from 18th September 2015, I forgot to mention in the 'Other News' section that 'The Rock' themed area's major refurbishment included 'hundreds of metres' of new waterfalls around the mushroom pools. 'Dive-In Movies @ Jamberoo' returned last January. The 2016 season included 4 new movies: o 2nd January 2016 – ‘Penguins Of Madagascar’ o 9th January 2016 – ‘Despicable Me 2’ o 16th January 2016 – ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted’ o 23rd January 2016 – ‘Big Hero 6’ A new 'Summer Fun Pass' was introduced on the 28th December 2015 which, for $89.99*, allowed unlimited entry until 28th February 2016. Lastly, on 9th April 2016, Jamberoo Action Park confirmed in a comment on a post on their Facebook page that ‘works already commenced’ on Stage 2 of the 'Kangaroo Island' expansion. So let the guessing begin! Some points to remember based on prior information: It will include 2 new world-class rides and attractions. Originally, the next 2 rides to be built as part of Stage 2 of the 'Kangaroo Island' master plan were the 'Koala Creek' interactive water play area and the 'Platypus River' lazy river. On 17th June 2015, Jamberoo Action Park exclusively revealed on Parkz that the 'Cockatoo Gorge' Behemoth Bowl is no longer part of the 'Kangaroo Island' expansions but instead they will be building a whole new 'top secret' ride to rival their record-breaking 'Funnel Web' Tornado water ride, that will be more exhilarating in ride experience as well as slightly longer in ride time. The 'Funnel Web' ride time is 40 seconds (based on information in the Parkz ride database) while a Behemoth Bowl's ride time is 26 seconds (based on information on Whitewater World's 'The Rip' in the Parkz ride database). In the most recently seen ride artist impression, 'Cockatoo Gorge' was to be a combined enclosed Tantrum Alley/ Behemoth Bowl water ride. As far as we know, the enclosed Tantrum Alley elements have not been excluded. Kiama Municipal Council approved the new 'top secret' ride development on 12th March 2015. So the 4 main questions for now are: Is 'Koala Creek' and 'Platypus River' still Stage 2? Is the 'top secret' ride now a part of Stage 2? If it is, which one has been delayed - 'Koala Creek' or 'Platypus River'? What is the 'top secret' ride?

No argument or skin off my nose. You know what you heard, I know what I saw. As I said though, both times is wasn't the whole troupe and it was more impromptu. Maybe he meant that was the only complete choreographed performance they were doing?

^ I'd get the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka rather than drive. You can also make a stop at Nagoya on the way and visit Nagashima Spa Land to get your Steel Dragon 2000 credit!

Some of the building frames appear to be going up...

Thunderbolt area had plans for WhiteWater World expansion approved so that's the only thing I want to see done there. There is heaps of other room around the former Blue Lagoon area that would suit a new coaster.

Hi, my humble opinion, for what it is worth, is that Jamberoo would easily be my preferred destination for a fun day with my kids than Wet n Wild Sydney. For their operational excellence, theming, landscaping and the way all of that hinges together in a journey of discovery. Mark
