Rainbow's End

As part of our Auckland Super Pass we had tickets to visit Kelly Tarleton's Antarctic Underwater Adventure, Rangitoto Island, Sky Tower and Rainbow's End.
Rainbow's End is Auckland's equivalent to Alton Towers.

However if you go expecting Alton Towers you would be very disappointed. It was good fun with short queues everywhere. Millie and Joe were EXTREMELY brave and went on the sorts of rides they had previously refused to go on.
Joe volunteered to go on the Corkscrew ride but wanted to come off after the first circuit. Louise was relieved to have an excuse to get off the ride as well.

Millie was the bravest of the day and went on as many of the rides as she was allowed. She and Jes went on Fear Fall - the one where the ride takes you vertically up and then drops suddenly to earth. Jes came off looking white and shaking, Millie came off asking to go on again.

Thanks mainly to Jes, Millie and Louise got volunteered to go on stage with the in-house magician. Millie was levitated and Louise got involved in a very dodgy card trick. The only up-side was that Millie was given loads of chocolate bars as a thank you for helping with the trick!
