The pirate Ship returns SPRING 2025!
We're thrilled to announce that in Spring 2025, we will bring back a beloved classic to the park - The Pirate Ship!
The original Pirate Ship was a guest favourite for almost 40 years and decommissioned in 2017 due to the limited availability of replacement parts. But we have listened to repeated requests from Kiwis asking for it to return, and a new and improved Pirate Ship will be ready to set sail in Spring 2025.
UPCOMING RIDE MAINTENANCE
To keep our rides in tip top shape, all attractions go through a thorough an annual review and service. This is separate to our daily and weekly checks and maintenance procedures, so can take a little longer.
