Horrendous experience today at Easter Show Auckland, thanks to the ride operator in the roller coaster. My daughter went on the ride with her friends but once the first lap finished she was crying and wanted to get out. Since the game was fully stopped I told him “please I need to get her out” then he proceeded to laugh and start the game again telling me shut up and that “they will settle”.

I want my daughter to understand that her voice matters and if she wanted to stop he should’ve just do so. Rude and disgusting person. Company should be more careful about WHO you hire to have contact...

By turning me and my family away, this business CHOSE to discriminate against us. Instead of causing laughs, as their motto suggests, today it...
Read moreWe went to the Easter show and boy were we disappointed! Some of the rides are so worn down and dilapidated it wasn’t funny.

What a joke, I have fond memories of the Easter show as a kid, now it’s overpriced and underwhelming for all. Shame on you running some of those rides when they are clearly past...
