The adrenalin rush of racing down the sides of Mount Ngongotaha can be relived and shared thanks to Skyline Rotorua's newest gadget.
The tourist attraction has brought in the GoPro to give a new dimension to the luge. The helmet-mounted camera allows luge riders to film the action as they ride down the mountain. Footage is captured on a mini SD card which visitors can take home.
GoPro is a brand of high-definition personal video and still camera, often used in extreme action video photography. They are known for being lightweight, rugged, wearable or mountable in unusual places such as outside planes, cars, or boats.
Skyline Rotorua sales and marketing manager, David Blackmore, said the company had already received fantastic feedback from visitors who have hired the GoPro helmets since they were introduced in mid-September.
