I have written a number of blogs about the weird and wonderful attractions found only in New Zealand. I thought I had covered them all but low and behold, doing research for a completely different topic, I came across more weird stuff, this time, featuring activities aimed at the tourist market. Here are two adrenaline rides that were invented and perfected in New Zealand.
SHWEEB RACER
This is a rather unique attraction found only in New Zealand. In fact, it is the only human powered monorail track in the world. The exhilaration is generated through high-speed acceleration fuelled by your own pedal power. The single occupancy bullet shaped pods are suspended from an overhead rail making them a unique monorail. The pods ride 2 metres above the ground on a pair of 200 metre overhead tracks.
