[2] In the first half of 2008, a small area of the Sea World Ski Lake north of the bridge was filled with sand to aid in the construction of a new roller coaster.
[14] Jet Rescue is located between Leviathan and Storm Coaster on a portion of land which was formerly part of the Sea World Lake.
[16] These launch tracks are powered by a Friction Wheel Hydraulic system which consists of a series of high speed drive tires used in succession to propel the trains forward.
[1][12] One cycle of the ride lasts approximately 30 seconds, allowing Jet Rescue to cater for up to 800 riders per hour.
[17] Transfer track is located adjacent to the unload station allowing Sea World to operate the ride with one or two trains.
After being cleared to dispatch, the ride uses a hydraulic friction wheel mechanism to launch riders out of the station at a speed of 65 kilometres per hour (40 mph).
The ride then enters a wide, highly banked helix to the right before perpendicularly crossing over the launch track at a height of 6 metres (20 ft).
Upon entering the tunnel, another set of friction wheels are activated to launch the riders to the faster speed of 70 kilometres per hour (43 mph).
The ride slowly makes its way into the unload station where riders disembark their jet skis and exit via the merchandise shop.
