Jet Rescue, Steel roller coaster at Sea World, Gold Coast, Australia.

Jet Rescue is a steel launched roller coaster built by Intamin at Sea World on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Its 560 metres of track carry two eight-car trains whose seats are shaped like jet skis, held by lap bars. Two friction-wheel hydraulic launches, not linear motors, push the trains to 65 and then 70 km/h, and the twisted layout crosses over its own launch track twice.

Construction began in the first half of 2008, when sand was used to fill part of the Sea World Ski Lake north of the bridge; the Sea World Train closed for site access and has not reopened. Track pieces arrived from late August, vertical construction started in late September, and the ride opened on 26 December 2008.

The ride's story follows a Sea World Research and Rescue Foundation mission to save a trapped sea lion, explained in a video shown in the queue. Riders sit on jet ski-shaped vehicles, and an animatronic sea lion stands among the rocks beside the track. The exit leads through a merchandise shop selling on-ride photos and Jet Rescue items.

The queue starts beside the unload station and runs in one long stretch to the load station, where it doubles back several times before the air gates. Monitors on the far side of the load station loop a video on boarding and on the mission to rescue a trapped sea lion. Riders leave through the merchandise shop, where on-ride photos are sold.

Along the track, an animatronic sea lion appears as part of the rescue story, a detail many riders miss on their first run because the ride moves quickly. Looking out for it gives a reason to pay attention to the scenery between the launches.
