I’m 32 and attended the theme park with my wife and both our brothers
Ticketing was seamless as we purchased tickets online.
Due to us traveling in a Hilux which is deemed as “High Risk”, we were sent through to park in a dedicated area which is very close to the entrance and given a tag 🏷️ that we have to return when we exit to ensure the car isn’t stolen
The theme park has lockers you can rent for the day which is pretty cool
The waiting times were between 30-40 minutes for rides which is the main reason for me not giving the review 5-stars. Yes, most of the queues are shaded, but it really is a buzz kill when you wait 40 minutes to enjoy a 2-4 minute ride 🫠
Our longer wait times were probably due to a few machines being inactive. Tower of Terror and Miner’s Revenge are standout rides which we were disappointed not to ride due to them being out of action. I mean, it’s the reason why you go to Gold Reef City in the first place!
Don’t waste your time at the log ride. We waited the longest there. This was also due to two other logs booked off, leading to extended queue times.
The best ride for me has to be Golden Loop! 5/5! And because it takes about 30 people per ride, the queueing time is really short! 👏🏽👏🏽
The food is excellent with great mini-donuts and slush!
Parking, lockers, food, clean toilets are nice and all, but we go to Gold Reef City for maximum enjoyment from the rides and that was sadly a low point for me. Don’t forget to smile when you’re on the rides as you can purchase a digital 📸 of your experience for R20!
