Thrill Coaster VR, Auckland CBD

Arcade & VR

Thrill Coaster VR

Perched at the top of the Sky Tower, Thrill Coaster VR puts riders inside an immersive virtual roller coaster that wraps around the tower's exterior, delivering cinematic skyline views and serious altitude without leaving the building. It is the kind of ride that has children gripping the armrests and parents quietly doing the same.

What it is

Once the main ride is done, families can bolt on additional VR experiences: Dolphins of the Reef sends everyone on a serene dive alongside bottle-nosed dolphins, while Dinosaur Evolution takes a stomp through prehistoric landscapes. The two rides bundle together at a better rate than buying separately.

A minimum height of 0.9 m applies, and children aged 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Some pre-existing health conditions may preclude participation — worth checking the safety checklist before booking. The entrance is through the Sky Tower gift shop; Sky Tower admission is not included in the ride ticket.
