This adventure park is located in New South Wales. In 2016, Jamberoo built the world's largest or rather, longest water ride of its kind in the world.
This monster of a ride is called the Perfect Storm and aptly features three violent tornadoes within it. These whirl people around at a maximum speed of 40 Km/h as they are seated in a raft and allow guests the opportunity to experience a hair-raising, gravity defying ride.
The rafts can hold up to four people, which is perfect if you are travelling with friends or family.
For smaller children, the park runs events such as Easter Egg hunts and more, to ensure that nobody feels left out and that every member of the family has a good time.
This park also contains one of New South Wale's largest wave pools for guests to enjoy.
