History
The Water Jumping was originally manufactured as a prototype model at Fabbri's factory in 1999,[1] it appeared at Hawally Park in 2004, presumeably opening with the park.[2]
The ride was removed from the park between 2022 and 2023.[2]

After ascending the lift hill, riders slowly traverse a turn before going down a drop into an upward-angled piece of track, the track then ends, causing the cars to become airborne for a short amount of time before landing in a splash pool, where waterjets push it into another chain lift hill, after traversing another turn, it repeats the first half, but with a larger drop.
Trains
8 cars. Riders are arranged inline in 2 rows, for a total of 2 riders per car.
Many of the cars were not used during the ride's operation.
