Salt Lake City — JUMP CEO James Jensen has announced the launch of presale tickets to the first JUMP location, tentatively set to open in November 2021. JUMP is a location-based, hyper-reality entertainment company that is the brainchild of Jensen, co-founder of virtual reality company The VOID.
“With JUMP, we are leveling up to an entirely new category of entertainment with hyperreality,” Jensen said. “Hyperreality means we are providing an experience that includes several sensory elements, including the feeling of wind and heat, smell (like the scent of pine trees), and the very real physical sensation of jumping and ultimately flying.”
The JUMP hyper-reality experience will include a real wingsuit, outfitted specifically for JUMP, and a helmet. The simulator is a mix of a suspension and wind system that allows people to experience the extreme thrill of jumping off cliffs and skyscrapers without the danger. The first JUMP location will likely be at a major entertainment facility, to be announced.

The JUMP team released a documentary video showing how the inception of the company came about: .
“JUMP is everything that location-based hyperreality should be," says Jensen. “We’ve envisioned an experience that transcends what’s possible for people to experience in real life. Mustering the courage to JUMP off a mountaintop and fly close to the ground has the possibility to transform people. People who have experienced the demo are truly blown away."
As the famous actor Will Smith said, “God put the best things in life on the other side of fear."
“The beginning of overcoming anything that holds you back is a worthy cause. Your mind does not know the difference between reality and fantasy,” adds Jensen.
In 2019, Allied Market Research predicted the global Family Entertainment Center market would grow from almost $19 billion to more than $40 billion by 2025. While COVID-19 has derailed the growth forecasts for all location-based entertainment segments, it’s also accelerated new market opportunities for savvy companies.
