The Luge - Once is Never Enough

About The Luge

What is Luging?

A great way to have some fun
The tracks are wide reinforced concrete that wind through the redwood trees. You ride a 3 wheeled Luge Cart that has a unique braking and steering system which allows you to travel as slow or as fast as you dare, controlling your ride and creating your own fun!

There are three tracks, one scenic for those wanting a more sedate ride. The intermediate track for those wanting more of a thrill ride with fantastic views over the city (NOT for grandfathers) and the advanced track for those wanting the thrill and excitement of dips, bends and tunnels (ONLY for people not afraid of skydiving or riding in the right of the road). On the scenic track there are stopping bays where the rider can rest, admire the view or catch their breath.

For safety reasons the end of the Luge Track is narrowed to create an orderly flow of people in line for the return Chairlift ride to the start of the Luge Track.

The rider needn't worry about getting the Luge cart back to the start of the Track, as the chairlift has automatic pick up and drop off for the Luge Carts.

There has been some problems recently so we added new requirements and rules to make this ride more safe and fair.
