One of the neat things these holidays has been going to our only NZ amusement theme park called "Rainbow's End" for night rides with some family members and friends.
But this time, I was joined by my youngest and eldest (as my middle child was working), and we had a ball! Not to mention the long lines that we had to line up in.
So we decided to split up, and my youngest went with her friends on all the extreme rides. Rides that defied height and were not for the faint-hearted.
I decided with my eldest to go to the rides that were not so thrill-seeking and adrenaline-pumped, and we started at 6pm and finished at 11pm with a break in between for a snack of a hotdog combo and then back onto it!
My favourite ride has to be the log flume, with its neat log-like boat that floats in and out of interesting scenery, especially with the large splash at the end. The neat thing was that we had two rides, with our last ride being the final two before they closed the park.
The other rides I enjoyed were the dodgems, the family carts and the scorpion carts, the water drive was neat too, in fact any rides where I'm in the drivers seat was neat to go on. We also went on the Gold Rush ride, which was quite jarring with the fast pace and erratic corners.
We also went on a simulated ride, where we had to wear 3D glasses and be featured in the final tally of marks (shooting range), where we had to shoot at the monster robots. That was unexpected fun, as I thought we would just watch a movie.
All in all, it was a fun time, and although we didn't want to go on all the rides, we still had lots of fun. I especially enjoyed it with good company. I would definitely recommend it to those who are thrill-seekers who and even those who just want to get out for a night, the rides are worth it...
