Extreme Rotorua - the Agrodome

When we where very close to Rotorua it was still early afternoon, so we stopped on the way into town at the Agrodome. We were planning to stop in at the maze as well, but this took precedence.

'If' you enjoy adrenalin rushes... and 'if' you plan on stopping here... and 'if' you want to do more than 1-2 activities be advised, take plenty of money, but it's well worth it!

The Agrodome is situated near a hill with some sheep and a bull with very large horns.

 There are quite a few activities that you can partake in, and we chose two. One - the Schweeb, a sit down pedal powered ride in a see through capsule on a monorail track.

Originally it was going to be Sarah and Jono, but Jono decided not to go, so Sarah and Daniel did this one... it seems pretty cool, and the kids had big smiles when they finished.

For Rob, Daniel and I, we decided to go on the Freefall Extreme, where you suit up, crawl out and lay on some netting over a huuuuuge blowy fan, and get lifted into the air.

It's insane, a whole body experience where the cold wind makes your eyes water. You also have what they term as a 'facial reconstruction' going on, the wind forcing your skin... often in waves, across the bones of your face. You definitely feel alive after going on this.

 

But Jono I think had the best time.. chasing chickens

 

Not sure they appreciated it very much though :)

I'm also going to do some video for this one, as there is simply too much, it will be in the next post.
