Jumpin' Jellyfish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jumpin' Jellyfish is a parachute jump style ride at Disney's California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The attraction's name comes from the Jellyfish themed parachute ride vehicles and the bubble and kelp themed towers. Jumpin' Jellyfish has a sister themed attraction that opened in September of 2001 at Tokyo DisneySea. This attraction is similar to that of the Maliboomer, but scaled down to more child-sized proportions and rethemed. The Maliboomer requires riders to be at least 52" tall (132 cm), whereas Jumpin' Jellyfish only requires riders to be at least 40".
As a result of Disney's California Adventures' $1.1 Billion Dollar renovation, it has been suggested that this attraction may be removed in the future.
