Rainbow's End, Theme park in Auckland Region, New Zealand.
Rainbow's End is a theme park in Manukau, Auckland, covering 9.3 hectares and including Kidz Kingdom, an area for children aged 8 and under. Its rides include the Corkscrew roller coaster, over 27 metres high with three inversions, and the 18-storey Fear Fall drop tower. The Invader runs on a 15-metre-high, 80-metre-long W-shaped track.
The park opened in 1982 with a handful of water-based attractions and expanded gradually by adding larger rides. Over the following decades, roller coasters and new themed areas arrived, making it the largest of its kind in New Zealand.
Families from across New Zealand visit to mark birthdays or school achievements with shared rides and laughter. Locals often return with their own children, passing on memories formed during their early years at the park.
The park sits in Manukau, South Auckland, and holds both the main rides and Kidz Kingdom, the covered area for children aged 8 and under. Kidz Kingdom opened its outdoor section on Boxing Day 2012 and its indoor section in 2013, so families can plan a visit around the younger children's zone. The Corkscrew coaster reaches over 90 feet (27 m) with three inversions.
Stratosfear, a Zamperla Discovery Revolution opened on 17 April 2014, sends 30 riders spinning upside down; on its opening day it was one of only four such rides in the world. The Corkscrew, built by Arrow Dynamics, is the country's only coaster of its kind, standing over 27 m high with three inversions: a vertical loop and a double corkscrew.
