381782 5 Location 569549 Set high on the side of Mt Ngongotaha with extensive views of Rotorua city, lake, geothermal activity and surrounding hinterlands you ride up the mountain in a gondola car and then can hike the many trails or fly down the mountain on the infamous luge! The luge is a concrete course built into the mountainside and you ride on a plastic tray with wheels and a brake. The scenic course provides stopping points to enjoy the views and is often taken by families with small ones! The intermediate and advanced courses provide even more thrills for those more daring! Best of all, upon reaching the end of the course, you get to ride a chair lift back up the mountain with your sled fastened on beneath you! No climbing back up carrying your sled! Whew! This allows you to make the run several more times.  Prices were $37.00NZ  (adult) for the gondola ride and 5 luge rides. 2006-07-28T07:03:35-07:00 970981400 2006-07-09T17:00:00-07:00 0 -9223372036854775790 158682 1866902 381782 0 257233 0.0419790503912298 2006-07-07T17:00:00-07:00 Published 25.0 2006-07-28T12:22:13-07:00 83494 0
