The Location and Arrival Process

Velocity Valley is conveniently situated just outside Rotorua’s central area. After descending down a 500-meter driveway, you’ll spot the park from the top gate. Once there, you’ll check in at reception and get geared up. The park’s layout makes it easy to settle in quickly, leaving you plenty of time for the four rides.

The Rides: What You Can Expect

Agrojet:

This is Rotorua’s most powerful jet boat ride. Speeding across the water, with sharp turns and high acceleration, it’s a favorite among thrill-seekers. One reviewer mentions, “The Agrojet was intense and exhilarating — a real adrenaline hit.” The boat’s design ensures you’ll feel the wind and spray, making it more immersive than a typical boat ride.

Freefall Xtreme:

For those who want to simulate skydiving, Freefall Xtreme delivers an experience that feels just like jumping from a plane. With full instruction provided, most find it surprisingly accessible, even if heights aren’t your thing. Reviewers have noted that the instructors are friendly and clear, helping everyone get comfortable before the jump.

Swoop:

Imagine soaring high on a gravity-defying swing. Swoop offers a mix of free-fall sensation and scenic views of Rotorua’s lush landscape. Its simplicity makes it a great option for those new to adrenaline activities but still craving a thrill.

Shweeb Racer:

What sets Shweeb apart is the chance to pedal yourself along a suspended rail, race your friends, or just enjoy the unusual sensation of moving through the air. As one enthusiastic visitor put it, “Racing with friends on the Shweeb was hilarious and a surprisingly fun workout.” It’s a playful, competitive option that adds variety to the package.

The Flexibility and Sharing Options

The beauty of this pass is that you can pick your four favorite rides or double up on a single one if you prefer. You don’t need to do all four rides separately — just choose what excites you the most. Plus, the package is designed for sharing — if you’re with friends, only one person needs to purchase, and everyone can enjoy the rides collectively.

Value and Practicality: Why It’s Worth Considering

For $114, the Four Ride Pass offers a good deal compared to booking each ride separately. The ability to customize your ride selection and share the experience with friends adds social value and flexibility. Plus, with safety and instruction included, it’s accessible for newcomers to thrill rides, not just seasoned adrenaline junkies.

Travelers who appreciate adventure with a view will love the variety offered, and those seeking a fun, compact activity that fits neatly into a Rotorua day will find this package especially convenient. The only potential downside is that it’s a quick burst of activity, so if you’re craving more extensive or multi-day adventures, you might want to combine this with other Rotorua attractions.

Who Should Consider This Tour?

This experience suits adventure enthusiasts looking for a cost-effective, flexible way to try several thrill rides. It’s ideal for small groups or families who want to share the fun and challenge each other. If you’re short on time but want a concentrated adrenaline boost, this pass is a smart choice. However, it’s not designed for those with certain health concerns or vertigo, so plan accordingly.
