You'll be greeted with the most incredible views in all of New Zealand! It's a great place for photos and is a sure way to get your adrenaline pumping.\n\nAs a matter of fact, Skyline Queenstown is not just a simple gondola ride, but an adventure park in the sky! There are numerous activities to choose from, including the famous luge track, ziplining, or even bungee jumping off the ledge with the world's first urban cliff drop. It's definitely not for the faint-hearted!\n\nNow, let me tell you a little bit of history about Skyline Queenstown. In 1967, the gondola was first introduced to Queenstown. It was the town's first commercial space venture which drew crowds of visitors from all over the world. Since then, Skyline Queenstown has become one of the most iconic locations in New Zealand.\n\nSo, my challenge for you all is to conquer the Skyline Luge track. It's a thrilling ride with several levels starting from the top of the gondola.
