Wanna see some more Sea World and a bit of Wet 'n' Wild? If so, you're in the right place; if not, what are you doing here?

Well, so much for praying for penguins. Let's head over to Wet 'n' Wild. ("Praying for Penguins" sounds like a game show on the Christian Broadcasting Network.)

This is the only picture I have that is remotely related to the Outback Spectacular. Excuse, me "greatest ever stories"? What kind of crazy syntax is that? ("Greatest-ever stories?" "Greatest stories ever?") That's all for now.

I wonder how many people would actually walk into that wall if the barricade wasn't there. Nice pics.

I really liked Jet Rescue at Sea World. I thought it was well themed and a really fun/great ride. The trains were super cool and comfortable as well.

Pretty sure it was my second favorite roller coaster in all of Australia.

^Agreed--it proves that a "family coaster" doesn't have to be boring.

All of our Southern Cal members should rest easy after seeing these reviews of Jet Rescue. Sea World San Diego looks to be getting a great new addition next year! I know it is a Mack, not an Intamin, but it should be comparable to what they are getting.

That line about not looking "delicious" had me in stitches. The jet ski ride looked great. And fish detectives? The world needs more of them. Thanks for the swell update, Chuck.

It's kind of a bummer they wouldn't let us take pictures in the Outback Steak spectacular. TPR peeps making fools of themselves and the pig chase!
