Rainbow's End is a theme park in Manukau Central, Auckland, New Zealand that opened in December 1982. The park, owned by Rangatira Limited,〔http://rangatira.co.nz/Rainbow%27s+End〕 is currently New Zealand's largest theme park. The park currently employs between 50 and 200 staff both full-time and part-time depending on the time of year. == History == Opened in 1982 on the site of a former skate park, the park extended its lease in 2010 for another 24 years, after 5 years of discussions with the former Manukau City Council, though it will have to reduce its size by 0.4 ha from 9.3 ha to allow for new construction at the nearby law courts (being compensated for the land lost). The agreement with the Council also commits the company to re-invest $3 million every three years into new rides or upgrades. ; Ride History 〔http://www.rainbowsend.co.nz〕 : 1982- Park opens with the Bumper Boats, Mini Golf, Can Am Cars, Mirage Cars and video games. : 1983- Cinema 180, Pirate Ship, Maze and the indoor play area open. : 1984- Log Flume and Dodgems open : 1985- Kiddies Cars and Space Shuttle Zim Zam Zoo Playground open : 1986- Coca-Cola Corkscrew Coaster opens : 1992- Motion Master opens : 1993- Family Karts replace Mirage Cars : 1995- Gold Rush opens : 1996- Car wash Convoy opens : 1997- Castle Land open with Dragons Flight rollercoaster and Carousel (Known as Cadbury Land Castle until 2012) : 1998- Log Flume set on fire by arsonists in June.
