Great experience

Had a fantastic experience and really good fun. We booked two drivers/passengers for five laps each. In total including safety briefing lasted just under an hour. Would have loved to have had more goes.

It’s okay

Didn’t find it value for money, Laps are very small and if it’s first time then you will regret the spend.

From Superthriller Jetsprint - You Drive the Boat

It's always disappointing to get a review like this as it's a real outlier, and so we have had a chat with this customer to understand how we fell short on this occasion. From that discussion, here are some points we'd like potential customers to understand: 1. please give our staff honest feedback at the time. When we ask you if you are enjoying yourself, it's not rude to say you're not or that you need a bit of extra coaching on driving - if you tell us you are having a great time and you look like you are having fun, then we believe you 2. most people who come to us have never done this activity before. Everyone gets talked through the safety and driving of the boat and tips on how to drive it well. Then you hop in the drivers seat with one of our crew in the passenger seat and you drive a slow lap of the course to be comfortable with how the boat drives and with the contours of the course. If after that practice lap you don't feel like you have quite got it, then you tell us and we take you for a second practice lap. 3. when you start your hot laps, each time you do a lap you get more confident and that means subsequent laps get faster and you have a lot of fun getting better each lap you race 4. Finally, we work hard at making this an awesome experience for everyone who comes to us and we are always open to feedback to doing better

Water Thrills

Its a long way from anywhere but development is happening all around. Disappointed the course is very small. Imagined it to be a proper jet sprint course. Nothing like that. A small pond with buoys to speed around. It takes between 23 to 45 seconds per circuit. Its a blast but your 5 laps gives you a total of 2.5 to 3 minutes of fun for $275 or $55 per circuit. By the fifth lap you're just getting the hang of things and really want to go again. Conclusion, excellent fun, new unique experience but hellishly pricey for what you get. Drove a hour for a 10 minute experience for two drivers.
