From a homemade cart on a New Zealand hillside to a gravity-powered attraction across eight locations worldwide. Today, Skyline Luge celebrates a monumental milestone of 100 million rides globally – a distance equivalent to luging around the world 2,495 times! First invented in 1985 by Skyline Enterprises, a world class leader in leisure and entertainment, the Skyline Luge has captivated thrill-seekers of all ages and backgrounds, sparking a shared love for adventure.
This global success traces back to Skyline Enterprises’ roots in bold innovation. Inspired by a stainless-steel cart ride during a trip to Canada, founder Hylton Hensman drew on childhood memories of billy-carts and Kiwi ingenuity to develop a three-wheeled design that gave riders full control as they raced downhill. What began on the slopes of Rotorua has since evolved into a beloved, multi-generational attraction, celebrated for its accessibility, family-friendly appeal, and undeniable sense of thrill.
At the heart of the celebration is the Golden Luge Cart, a shimmering tribute to the 100 millionth ride. This photo worthy centrepiece captures the fun and adventure that has defined the Luge experience for nearly four decades.
