TRAVELERS’ REVIEWS

by Dusty Miller
This show really pulls you in and feels exciting and immersive. So glad we came. Just as good as seeing the real thing!
by Danny Marxh
We visited as a family and everyone enjoyed it, which doesn't always happen. It kept the kids interested and the adults entertained as well. The length is perfect for younger attention spans.
by Graham Tranter
A motion ride. Pretty well done with air blowers to give a bit of warmth. Not like a fly over, but rumbling like an earthquake sort of ride to get the impression of the ground and magma roaring beneath you. It passed time and although short, was a fun diversion, was informative and afforded big screen views of local volcanic eruptions.
by MJ C
Oh my word what a hidden gem! This 10 minute experience is fantastic! I’d 100% recommend this for all ages - as long as you don’t have a bad back. Me and my partner spontaneously booked this on the day and the staff were amazing and super friendly. It’s defo got more than meets the eye and go in with an open mind and prepare to be amazed. I’ve already recommend this twinned with the lava show to get the full lava experience of just how amazing (and terrifying) lava and volcanos can be!
by Benedict Steffens
Visiting on my honeymoon with my wife and we thought it’d be a great idea to try out this experience! She is about 5-6 weeks pregnant and they were very accommodating by setting a seat in the front and on the floor (one that wouldn’t shake or move around). Though she thought that she felt a little close to the screen, but it’s the best they can do to accommodate pregnancy due to the room and chairs moving (has to do with the weight balance on the machine). As for me, who got to ride: it was a stellar experience. Loved bouncing around with the visuals and the heat coming out in front of me really made me feel close to the lava. This is about as immersive as it gets! Loved it!!!
