The gold rush is the best ride based on effort, that one miner that jumps out used to scare the poo poo out of me

I liked the pirate ship when I was 8. The corkscrew roller coaster scared the bajeezus out of me however. Those are the two things I remember. It looks like there's also a log flume which I probably enjoyed.

It was a sad day when I heard the pirate ship got decommissioned.

I don't think I'd pay that much but given how much everything costs these days that's probably actually not terrible for a whole day and you ride the attractions a few times.

Do they still have the motion master or is that obsolete cause everyone has motion master at home?

2 adults and up to 3 kids is $220 for a year pass, totally worth it if you are in aucks and like rad animals

Yeah Zoo pass is good if you have younger kids. If you only have one, $155 for the kid and one adult is included. Another activity comparison: 2 adults and 2 kids at the Warriors is $60 for cheap seats and $100 for better, but actually the cheap seats are a pretty good time.

Plus when you watch the Warriors, you teach your kids that people will still like them even if they lose constantly

I think they've repurposed the pirate ship into a kids ride, sort of like a ski lift swing for like 8 people. A fitting retirement gig.

Remember the footrot flats theme park tho? The roller coaster at that was way scarier. Mostly because it was dodgy as gently caress. I do not mourn the pirate ship. gently caress that nausea machine.
