The choice is yours, what to ride first? Sky-Swing, Luge rides or Zip-Line?
Sky-Swing
The three-seated Skyswing hoists you 50 metres above Skyline Rotorua, coming to a halt with a breath-taking view over Lake Rotorua and beyond. Hanging from your harness, with the release in your hand, it’s up to you to make the drop! Reaching 150kph, the Skyswing drop will give you a thrill like no other. Eventually the swinging will slow, but don’t get comfortable, we like to excite you one more time with a surprise to finish with!
5 Luge rides
Jump in a luge cart & race down the track with its sweeping bends and exhilarating sections, or take the scenic track through the redwood forest. After a stunning chair-lift ride back to the top, once is never enough. You have total control over speed and direction using a unique braking and steering system. Pull back on the bars to slow down, push forward to go and enjoy the ride. There are 3 tracks to choose from scenic, intermediate or advanced.
Zipline
Get harnessed up before descending 385 metres on a dual zipline, you can choose to race a friend or to have the Adrenaline rush on your own with a drop of 48 vertical metres. Flying through the sky amongst majestic Redwood forest up to 80km/h, you're zipping through the air on a thrilling ride.
The Zoom Zipline finishes on a platform by our Luge chairlift but the fun isn't over yet - now's your chance to take a leap of faith and jump off the gangplank for a 10 metre free-fall (if your feeling brave) or you may choose the stairs.
