Generations have wondered what lies at the end of a rainbow, but for those who venture out to Auckland’s Rainbow end theme park will find hours of fun and entertainment for the entire family.

The theme park is not only the most popular park but it’s also the largest. Having started in 1982 the park began with simple rides like bumper boats, mini golf, mirage cars and basic video games.

Today, the Rainbow’s End theme park employs over 100 staff members and has increased the number and the range of rides. The favourite ride of the park being the Corkscrew roller coaster ride is perhaps the only one of its kind. Put on the tracks in 1986, the ride was an instant hit and still is today.

The theme park offers rides and thrills for every member of the family. With so many to choose from tourists should not miss an opportunity to get on the following.

Heading the list is the power surge a ride that looks like a wind mill from a far and moves along a vertical axis as well as horizontally. The ride has been rated as being ‘aggressive’ and those who dare to buckle in will attest to the thrill. Riders are strapped into seats that are spread out in formation like a star and then from ground level are thrown 18 metres into the air, while other parts of the component are in motion so are the rider’s seats which rotate as well.

Another interesting experience is the C180. This is where a 12 minute film clip which is screened inside a dome shaped theatre that is joined with another dome to give the effect of an extreme 180 degree picture.

For the younger members of the family, castle land is ideal as it caters to those who are under the age of 12. Castle land offers such rides as the car wash convoy, dragon coaster, plasma cars, carousel and a bouncy castle.

After an exciting day at the theme park, nothing would be better than some pampering at one of the Auckland hotels. Among the Auckland luxury hotels, the Langham Hotel Auckland stands out for its service and classic charm.
