This full-loop pendulum ride is our most hardcore land-based thrill.
Let yourself be drawn in by the voodoo magic of “Tawhiri”, calling you from the skyline and daring you to see the world from a new angle. If you’re brave enough to keep your eyes open, you’ll be entranced by the sky-high view of the park. This ride is one-of-a-kind in Australia, created by global ride sensation Zamperla, of Paris Disney and Coney Island design fame.

If you’re seeking an adrenaline hit with your waterslides head to Thrill Hill, and for high-speed land-based rides like the Alpine Toboggan Slide and bumper cars go to Velocity Valley.
If you want some warm up time, check out Origin Springs for our splashdown waterslides, or the heated wave pool and lazy river at Paradise Palms.
