There are around 30 rides in the Park, including some terrifying white-knuckle rides such as the Anaconda (the only inverted roller coaster in the world), the River Rapids, the Jozi Express (a high-speed roller coaster) and the Tower of Terror (also known as the Shaft of Terror).

This large amusement park is created around an authentic 19th Century gold mine, and an interesting half hour tour will take you 220 m (720 ft) below the surface, using the original mine lifts.
