The JumpStart Blog

The JumpStart Ridez and Petz shop owners just clued us in that the shipment of new pets and rides has arrived this week, along with the St. Patrick’s Day decorations. We’re thrilled to reveal the new sidekicks and transports Jumpeez everywhere are now able to adopt!

Wattson, the enlightened firefly

Expected birth date:  4 March 2010

Cost:  150 JS coins

Favorite JumpStart Area: The riverbank cattails beneath the Hall of Fame

Favorite Move: Providing light in dark tunnels to help in scavenger hunts

No need to capture  Wattson and place him in a jar!  This smart firefly is an avid adventurer and learner; he is happy to be adopted by whichever Jumpee is willing to have him, because chances are they’ll have quite a bit in common.  Wattson is really quite useful at making those dark tunnels of the Speed Drome and the mine shafts of Hidden Treasure Hollow much more negotiable.

Green Thumb, the gleeful garden gnome

Expected arrival date:  4 March 2010

Cost:  80 JS coins

Favorite JumpStart Area: Your neighborhood’s potted plant garden.

Favorite Move: Hanging out with his leprechaun cousins in the clover patches

We’re happy to reintroduce you to Green Thumb, known throughout JumpStart for being in tune with nature. He is passionate about studying the clovers that have sprung up throughout JumpStart.com.  Most of all, Green Thumb enjoys making sure the lawns and diva daisies of Jumpeez’ neighborhoods stay nice and healthy while his Jumpee owner is busy inside moving things around his or her house.

Prizm, the rainbow-making pot of gold ride

Expected Arrival Date: 4 March 2010
Cost: 120 JS Coins
Most Likely to Be Spotted Near: Speeding around Blarney Castle on MainStreet

While most pots of leprechaun gold tend to stay put once they are hidden, this particular pot of gold goes 0 to 60 in the blink of an eye.   This pot of gold meets hot rod is a special St. Patrick’s Day delight called a Prizm.  The Ridez shop is expecting these speedy vehicles to sell like hotcakes, because Prizms are the first ride to ever leave a trail in their wake!  Prizms create a stunning rainbow trail, following them wherever their roaring exhaust pipes and spinning wheels take them.
