Get ready for an adventure on the high seas! Rainbow's End has set sail with its brand-new Pirate Ship ride, and it's an experience like no other. The thrill of the ocean awaits!
Pacifica, named after the vast ocean it journeyed across to reach New Zealand, is a majestic 13-meter-long ship ready to embark on its maiden voyage. With a capacity of 50 eager passengers, this ship promises an unforgettable journey.
Imagine the rush of adrenaline as the ship swings a breathtaking 75 degrees to each side, and for those seated in the back rows, a unique moment of weightlessness at a dizzying height of over 20 meters. It's an experience that will leave you feeling on top of the world!
But here's where it gets interesting: the original Pirate Ship, a beloved fixture for nearly 40 years, had to be retired due to the challenge of sourcing replacement parts. Rainbow's End, determined to bring back this iconic ride, began its quest for a worthy successor in late 2022. And they didn't settle for just any replacement - the new ship was crafted with precision by the renowned German manufacturer, Huss Park Attractions.
Susan Mudie, the chief executive of Rainbow's End, shared her excitement, describing the sight of the first guests aboard Pacifica as "such a thrill." She added, "We're eager to see the joy and excitement on everyone's faces as they embark on this adventure. It's a ride that truly caters to all ages, and we can't wait for Kiwi families to create lasting memories aboard Pacifica."
And this is the part most people miss: the new Pirate Ship is more than just a thrilling ride; it represents a significant investment in the park's future. It's a testament to Rainbow's End's commitment to providing unforgettable experiences for its guests.
