Open to the public since the start of the NSW school holidays, Jamberoo Action Park is anticipating that warm weather and its new rides will drive visitation through the coming months.

The 'zero gravity' experience of The Stinger, the theme and water park's newest ride sees guests descend as the floor drops away beneath them, sending them into freefall and, as the Jamberoo team explain, experience "the ride of your life".

The Stinger is part of the new Velocity Falls precinct at Jamberoo Action Park, which also features the new Octo-Racer thrill ride, new cabanas, BBQ facilities and themed surroundings including a waterfall.

There’s even a medium sized conference room called Falls Retreat which is ideal for parties, business gatherings and social groups up to around 40 people.

Jamberoo Action Park Marketing Manager, Grant Wright explains "these new rides and facilities are among the biggest and best of their type in the world and are part of the ongoing plans for even more in the near future."

Set in the rolling hills of the Illawarra and with the back-drop of the spectacular Illawarra escarpment, Jamberoo Action Park is positioned to deliver an entertainment experience unlike any other.

All rides, attractions and park amenities are built into the natural contours of the land with the landscaping and presentation of the park showing wonderful attention to detail and is unique to Jamberoo.

Wright adds we offer "impeccable presentation, world class rides and attractions, well trained and attentive staff.

"These guest-focussed principles are clearly on display from the moment you enter the park grounds and are a result of the passion that comes from being 100% privately owned and operated."

Jamberoo Action Park's rides and features include:

• Velocity Falls (including The Stinger and Octo-Racer) - Australia’s newest world class water thrill ride complex - featuring 10 different experiences including zero gravity drops and head to head racing.

• Velocity Falls Cabanas - part of the Velocity Falls precinct - offering a private and exclusive space for families or small group of up to 10 people. Each cabana has a pleasant outlook and includes a flat screen TV, fridge, ceiling fan and a safe.

• The Perfect Storm - surrounded by darkness, cracks of thunder and streaks of lightening, you will travel through 3 tornados, deep inside one of the tallest, longest, most exciting water rides in the world.

• The Funnel Web - at speeds up to 30km you’ll twist and turn before entering the spider’s lair - a giant funnel, and a great photo opportunity beside the Guinness World Record Funnel Web spider sculpture.

• The Taipan - those brave enough to enter the belly of the snake will experience a high intensity thrill as their raft twirls mysteriously down a completely tubular waterslide in and out of darkness.

• Banjo's Billabong - the largest aqua play structure built in the southern hemisphere with over 200 water cannons, cranks, and sprays, six water slides across four storeys all drenched by two huge buckets that tip 1800litres over the structure every few minutes

• Outback Bay - one of the largest wave pools in NSW, this has something for everyone. Whether surf enthusiasts practising their bodysurfing, thrill seekers drifting with the 1.5 metre high waves or those looking to relax on the bay-side deck chairs, Outback Bay is a hit for all.

• Billabong Beach - at a warm 26 degrees all season long, a space for children to gallivant around the beach with heated shallow pools, mini water slides and fun water jets.

• The Rock - a 5 metre high launching pad from where guests plunge feet first into a deep water pool below.

• Surf Hill - a speed slide which features an 18 metre drop and wave like rollers, competitive fun seekers will revel as they race their friends in one of eight lanes of action.

• Rapid River - an action-packed attraction, riders sit atop rubber rafts as they travel the river's course meeting bucking rapids, cascading waterfalls and waves up to 1.5 metres high.

• The Chairlift - originally from the Snowy Mountains, the Chairlift was the first ever installation at Jamberoo - and still offers remarkable views from the mountains to the sea. And - access to one of the all-time favourite ride.

• The Bobsled - choose from one of 2 tracks and work your way up to maximum speeds and maximum thrills - lean forwards to go fast, pull back to brake. .

Food stops include Bombora Seafood, the Burger Barn and a huge variety of ice creams, coffees and treats at Bombora Scoop.

Currently open at weekends, Jamberoo Action Park will be open seven days a week from December.
