Is Jumpin’ Jellyfish Kid-Friendly?

If Jumpin’ Jellyfish looks like a smaller-scale version of more terrifying parachute jump rides (like the old Maliboomer at California Adventure!), you’re not wrong – but this one was specifically designed with kids in mind.

The attraction is kid-friendly and scaled down so it glides smoothly and isn’t too scary for little riders. It’s also slower-paced, giving kids a small taste of the parachute jump style ride without freefalling from crazy heights. It’s a great introduction for those just getting comfortable with thrill rides.

Best For: Young guests who meet the height requirement and want to try out a slightly more thrilling drop-style ride.

Will Jumpin’ Jellyfish Cause Motion Sickness?

Jumpin’ Jellyfish is a very gentle version of your typical up-and-down plummeting parachute ride, but it may cause motion sickness for sensitive guests. For the most part, though, since it’s so kid-friendly, it shouldn’t be a problem.
