Coastin' Down Under Episode 6: RAINBOW'S END

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- It's our final theme park of our trip to Australia and New Zealand- this time with a stop at the only theme park in NZ- Rainbow's End! They're home to 3 roller coasters, although we unfortunately only got on two of them, as the signature Corkscrew was having technical issues after coming back up from a recent refurbishment, and remained closed :( But we still got to enjoy their drop tower, log flume, and mine train! We also got to see the park at night, which had a lively atmosphere!

That log flume is like if Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Rainforest Cafe had a baby.
Here’s a bit of a fun fact: Rainbows End’s Corkscrew opened the same year Seaworld Australia’s Corkscrew opened. Arrow sent a huge team from America to build both coasters at the same time 😊.
Last fun fact: Rainbows End was built surrounded by farmland. As time went on, Auckland had grown around the park.
Lastly, Rainbows Ends Corkscrew is surprisingly smooth for a Arrow. Thats mainly because of the amazing maintenance team. That’s why it’s outlived Seaworlds version I believe.
Great episode guys! Thanks for coming to my home park 😁
A raptor, a Vekoma launch like formula, or a small gravity group would treat this park well.
Rainbow's End is such a charming park! and yeah, a new modern coaster of some kind would do wonders. That Marty guy looks like a cool dude with good taste.
He's going to visit your parks again this week so keep an eye out and say hello!
Crazy how some simple paint can make a ride super exciting
Hey, it's the guy from the Pantheon vs. Velocicoaster video 😉! Really enjoyed seeing this park, you don't really hear much from Rainbow's End. Gold Rush and the flume look like such nice surprises.
This series was a blast! It had some really funny moments too. Funniest probably was when that guy was watching the video in line, so amusing!
There is no way that Marty is the only coaster enthusiast down here in New Zealand! Wish we had more roller coasters to our name but New Zealand has so many thrilling tourist attractions otherwise.
For context, I live here too
I live in Auckland and I'm a coaster enthusiast haha (so Murray is not the only one!) - roller coasters were a special interest since I was 3 years old, and it wasn't until age 33 I was finally able to fulfill that dream and do a big trip through several parks in USA.
It's been a number of years since my last visit to Rainbows End although it's only 20 minutes away - I was supposed to go this past weekend actually but the visit was postponed due to the weather. It would have been funny if I'd gone on the same day as you as I actually would have recognised y'all haha.
The Rainbows End Corkscrew was my first 'proper' coaster, ridden as soon as I met the technical height requirement of 120cm. Sorry you didn't get to ride it, even though it's not an exciting coaster by most standards it's a pretty well run corkscrew as David mentions in another comment.
I had to laugh at Murray's "yeah nah" expression when you asked what to expect of the park - that's a very kiwi reply XD
I remember the opening of the mine train ride (Gold Rush) and it was a huge deal at the time - I did enjoy the themeing.
The Log Flume was generally the most popular ride when I was a kid as it was fun enough without being too scary/big for small kids.
The Stratosfear
That log flume was very New Zealand 😅. It was cool to see this Marty guy I've heard all about too. Really enjoyed this series. Thanks for visiting our little corner of the world!
Wow, the theming for some of the coasters are really cool! Pretty impressed by the park-built coaster
A video chock full of Marty - aw, yeah! You may have missed the corkscrew, but you did the two rides I’d be looking forward to the most at Rainbow’s End. The log ride seems awesome especially, and Goldrush has a bit of the Plohn Miniwah vibe.
First time I did it at night actually and it can definitely do with some lighting on the outside section. We missed some of the biggest and best new animatronics they put in. It's a shame we couldn't do it during the day to see it all properly.
@@Marty_NZ Now Saylor have another reason to go back!
That log flume has a scene of happy, living trees enjoying a campfire
Isn't that like us sat around pile of burning bodies having a great time
That really sucks you weren't able to ride the only major coaster in New Zealand, I definitively think it looks like a cool Arrow Looper even if its no different from the rest of those models.
My home park! Excited to watch!
The log flume is hands down the best ride in New Zealand
I'd say The Stratosphere,
Oh tbf that's a close second, definitely the best thrill ride
Great video! Great conclusion to this series! I really enjoyed watching it!
Thanks so much for the heart!
Rainbows end needs a roller coaster like the hyper coaster at movie world
This park would be so banned in Florida…I love it.
Super bucket list park for me
This looks like such a neat park. Small and with not a lot, but wacky and well kept. I will say this park really deserves another big coaster. Especially a big noninverting coaster to compliment the corkscrew like a wooden coaster or maybe some kind of launch coaster.
Kind of love that your end card is now Shambhala and Dragon Khan--I was just there!
Love the Down Under series! The Rainbow 🌈 theming ❤ Shoutout to Sarah for mentioning you were there on Pride Weekend 😊🌈 Excited for Gaydays at Disney World coming up in June 😊🌈 Hope you will vlog it from Magic Kingdom 😊💜👍
I actually only became aware of this park a few days ago. Great video.
Cool unique park with a little dash of quirkiness (in a positive way). The log flume with the black light indoor section seems lovely.
Gold Rush seems really cool when you look how fast it picks up speed when barely going downhill.
The energy completely changes at night ,I love a night time park ,lisberg and late opening energlandia are fun especially energlandia the waterpark is open till late 🎉
No way, It's my homepark! Shame about the weather and my broken rainbow corkscrew coaster.
Can't believe the editing took out the times you asked about the 8.5 Kondaa score. I'm setting the line at 8.5 times. Did you ask about it more than 8.5 times or less than 8.5 times?
@@alantrotter2077 I felt bad enough about my broken Arrow Corkscrew that I had to tone down the 8.5/10 Kondaa digs.
@@Marty_NZ so the best coaster in New Zealand was down. A broken arrow coaster. I actually rode an arrow today. I did a ride on Carolina cyclone. Of course I did one on copperhead and 5 on intimidator and 6 on fury. All kidding aside did you at least get him on the upside Frisbee. I love spin cycle at Silverwood. May be my favorite flat ride. You did get him a backstage walk on the arrow
@@Marty_NZ I think Stratosfear would be my favorite at that park although not something I would lap. The mine train coaster looked good and the logged flume looked fun. Canyon blaster is the best small arrow in my mind but I prefer viper at SFMM and especially Tennessee tornado at Dollywood To it. I also rode shockwave at six flags great America back in the day so I have 2 of the 3 big loopers under my belt.
@@alantrotter2077 Stratosfear doing the "extreme" cycle of full 360 is probably the most extreme ride there. It's fun, but the best ride for me is still the Intamin drop tower. It's actually a pretty good one compared to others I've done around the world. It's the closest I get to airtime here. The Arrow in the backrow down the drop does give you a pop of airtime though.
It’s okay Murray. I can confirm you are not the only coaster enthusiast in New Zealand.
The rain sounds were so calming (:
I heard there is a backyard rollercoaster there with a vertical drop like a real rollercoaster there in New Zealand
Just down the road from me in Pahiatua. A truck trailer engineer built it on his farm. He’s taken the loop out due to the intense forces 😅
To be honest… It’s one of the best in the world but it’s a secret 🤫
16:32 This strangely reminds me of the bit of queue just before you go on the smiler with all of the optical illusions if you get what I mean
FYI The kids castle area we're chocolate expresses is used to be one big wooden maze back in the day.
sad that I didn't get to meet you guys😢
Great video look forward seeing the next one 💙
The mine ride, reminds me of underground at Adventureland lol.
When I worked at Disney world, we had a lot of internationals. 2 were from New Zealand, and they were telling me they were going to Busch Gardens Tampa. And I was like, the roller coasters are huge there, and they said, so are they in New Zealand!
I asked for evidence.
They showed me the corkscrew.
I laughed so hard and they were offended.
But alas. They were not prepared
I hope they laughed at themselves after visiting BGT!
I love the name for a theme park (always wanted to find the pot of gold as a kid 😅)
Random request: could you make a video ranking your favorite ride queue music?
That log flume was awesome and reminded me of Electric Forest. Ahhh, Happy Forest, everyone.
It looks like such a fun park!
@MartyNZ the clear star of the show!
Yes!
The clear stars of the show were those pink piggies, which I've never noticed until Sarah pointed them out.
Agreed!
3:15 i thought that taylor sweared 😂 but he said fog
14:59 That's why the small drop splashes you more on some flumes.
0:12 I’m genuinely jealous since there are none here in Massachusetts
3:15 - Taylor curses 😮😮😮
I can already smell a rainbows end parody, or dc rivals
Go back on a hot and sunny day!
3:12 TAYLOR this is unheard of!
pretty sure he said fog
@@SmileBullet My life means nothing now
At least that ending on Gold Rush is better than Adventure Express post-lift hill.
Those "Pigs" bare a striking resemblance to a NZ leader from 20 years ago....
Rainbow's End is just missing a ferris wheel.
Devastated you didn't come to Perth, we have two scrappy creds come on!
It was in the opposite direction from where we wanted to go, and would've been at least a 5 hour flight just to get there. Not worth it IMO. Maybe one day...
I'm sad they put the bungee jump thing in the opening montage when it wasn't in any of the coastin thru videos 😥
Hold up lol @ 3:15 did he say of f***k or oh fun lol
neither- I said 'fog' -Taylor
'The drop tower is just under 200 feet tall' the local said it was 67 meters, which is 220 feet
It's 18 stories high. The height depends what they class as a story. I didn't bring my measuring tape so give or take a few metres.
Did you not ride stratosphere? If you didn't its a shame, best ride in the park imo
Did Taylor say
"OH F@#$"
On the minetrain??????
Maybe a Premier Rides Sky Rocket II would benefit this park.
It's ironic that New Zealand's only coaster outside of Rainbow's End is even further up the country's northernmost peninsula than Rainbow's End itself.
Where's the other one? Can't place it.
@@badllama4554 Crystal Mountain in Henderson Valley
I’ve actually operated one of those triotech motion theaters back here in the US. I have a video of it on my channel if you’re interested!
20:02…You DO REALIZE that’s the price in NZD$, right?! In USDollars that’s about $50, which is, yeah, still a bit pricey but you’ve seen Far worse!
I’m Aso in New Zealand
Im very big dumb and lazy but why are people from New Zealand called “Kiwis”?
Because the Kiwi bird is indigenous to New Zealand 🤦🏻♂️
@@David-R-Hall Ik about Kiwi birds but I’m specifically about why call a bird? I really ain’t get the significance. Also since you used a “🤦♂️” I will say I’m American so you can have something to occupy your drive for pity superiority.
@@1of8plusbillion I knew you were a ‘superior’ American from your question and how you prefaced it with ‘big dumb and lazy’ 🤣🤣🤣
@@1of8plusbillion some things in life can't be explained. A kiwi is a fruit, a bird, and someone that lives in NZ that knows what "Footrot Flats" is and know of a singer named Dave Dobbyn.
Pretty sure he said 67 Meters for the drop tower height. Closer to 220 feet…
🤓🤘
Never seen that ride before but watching the video, I thought there's no way that's 67 metres. It's actually 27 metres 😮
"this place is so enchanted" 2 months later you saw taylor swift sing enchanted.
sorry im obsessed with her
Wait this was the theme park in power rangers Samuru
75 NZD is between 40 and 50 USD
I lived in Auckland for over five years and never went to Rainbows End. The ads turned me off as they were too cringy.
3:15 he said the f word
I need the intro song 🎧
She's the perfect girlfriend , maybe not but she loves roller coaster.
Hello
If y'all do Not put your Hobbiton footage in a video, I'm gonna disown y'all.
Deleting "TIHWR" from Vimeo and unsubbin!
& I'm an RMC Junkie in Spokane, Wa.
J.K.
...also I have a coaster concept that I'd like to get to RMC as part of a job application and if you wanted to help me facilitate that you could change my life trajectory and make my decade.
But I don't feel deserving and would probably miss the oppertunity regardless.
But keep up with the fun distractions & Thank you!
its rainbow as in the park is the treasure at the end of a rainbow... don't ruin it with the pride stuff....
You know, I have my own coaster series. It's called 'Coastin Through Life' and it takes place 365 days a year
As a nz citizen We need a better Theme park
