Skyline Luge Launch Area 2

We loved the experience, but it was really, really crowded and the helmets were really stinky and even wet from sweat from the person before us. I would definitely recommend giving it a go anyways!

It's Mario Kart! In Real Life! A Highlight of my New Zealand trip. An activity the whole family can get in on. Super fun.

Tips for the luge: First time riders have longer waits than others due to instructions. We had to wait 30 min first time peak season but only 10 min thereafter. There are two launch areas: The one in the back has much shorter lines. You can buy additional luge tickets on top of the mountain. Families can share 5-ride tickets etc, so much cheaper than buying multiple singles.

Such a great time! Spend 2-3 hours outside zooming down the mountain with the wind in your face...ride back up the mountain on the chair lift. Fabulous restaurant at the top for snacks or a full lunch.nFun for the family.

Popular tourist spot in Rotorua. No wait times and all staff were helpful and welcoming.nnThe gondola up and down took about 5 minutes. Great views from the back.nnThe luge down was fun. How to operate the carts were explained to us. Not difficult at all.nnThe chair lift back to the top took a bit longer but was peaceful.nnAll-in-all we had a nice time. Must see when in Rotorua.
