Rainbows End

     Last Sunday (Feb 14th) I went to Rainbows End with Bevan, Alix, Sean, Ali and Haley. Rainbows End is a theme park in South Auckland. Here is the link incase your interested http://rainbowsend.co.nz/. It was a pretty fun day. We didn't get there till about 11. We started off with a movie room thing which wasn't very exciting. Then we did a smallish roller coaster and a log ride. That was pretty fun. As we were about to go down the big hill on the log ride Bevan reach foward and tickled me so I screamed naturally. I got teased about being scared on a calm ride. Then we went and did a corkscrew roller coaster and a cool spinning ride. After those we had some lunch. We went across the road to the mall for lunch because it was way way cheaper. When we came back we waited in line for ages to go on the go carts. After we went on the go carts we did a ride called Stratosphere. It is sort of like the Kamakazi ride at the fair in Helena but it also spins around as well as going upside down. They have the "extreme" setting which goes all the way upside down and the "chill" setting which only gets to a 45 degree angle. We were in line for extreme but after we got to a 45 degree angle it started slowing down. Turns out there was an issue with the harnesses so we had to reset them then do the chill version again to check them before we could do the extreme version. It was mildly frustrating. By the time we finally got the whole ride we were all pretty excited which probably made it better. Unfortunately that was our last ride of the day as the park closes early on Sundays. We kind of missed that when we planned it. Oh well it was pretty fun.
