Mandrill Mayhem
Deep in Jumanji, jungle drums echo, signifying families’ first adventure! Mandrill Mayhem sweeps you up in the long arms of a mandrill, as the horde whisks brave adventurers around the sites of Jumanji, all while dodging the hazards of the jungle. The most fearsome of all the wild animals, the mandrills are unpredictable and will launch at full speed through the treetops, flipping upside down on a hair-raising adventure, spiralling to the summit of the 55ft tall Jaguar Shrine. Glimpse the Jaguar’s Eye Jewel glow before falling and braving the adventure again… backwards.
