Jumpin' Jellyfish, Parachute ride in Paradise Gardens Park, Disney California Adventure and Mermaid Lagoon, Tokyo DisneySea, US and Japan
Jumpin' Jellyfish is a drop-tower ride with jellyfish-shaped cars positioned at two parks: Disney California Adventure's Paradise Gardens Park and Tokyo DisneySea's Mermaid Lagoon. The vehicles climb kelp-themed towers and drop in freefall, seating two passengers per cycle while offering open-air views throughout the motion.
Jumpin' Jellyfish is a Paratower parachute-jump ride at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim and at Tokyo DisneySea, where a sister version opened in September 2001. The California ride is a scaled-down, jellyfish-themed counterpart of the former 180-foot Maliboomer, which required a 52-inch height minimum; Jumpin' Jellyfish asks only 40 inches. Similar parachute-drop rides operate as Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop at Walt Disney Studios Park and Hong Kong Disneyland.
At Tokyo DisneySea the ride sits in Mermaid Lagoon, where the jellyfish are presented as having built the vehicles themselves so humans can feel what drifting in the sea is like. The surrounding area is kept dark because the ride occupies the deepest point of the Under the Sea section.
Riders must be at least 40 inches (102 cm) tall. The ride is outdoors in Paradise Gardens Park at Disney California Adventure and in Mermaid Lagoon at Tokyo DisneySea. Guests using mobility aids should check transfer requirements before boarding.
