Jet Rescue at RCDB

Jet Rescue is a steel launched jet ski roller coaster made by Intamin that opened on 26 December 2008 at Sea World on the Gold Coast, Australia. The ride has a very twisted and banked layout with several fast directional changes. Unlike other family launch roller coasters, Jet Rescue features two launches. The ride features a unique jet ski style of seating with lap bar restraints.[1] The ride is based upon Sea World's Research and Rescue Foundation performing the rescue of a sea lion.[2]
