Step up to the most explosive thrill in Queenstown and take on the Nevis Catapult. Built for serious adrenaline seekers, this is a high-powered launch that delivers instant intensity from the moment you commit. Locked in and ready, you will be fired 150 metres across the Nevis Valley, hitting speeds of up to 100 km/h in just 1.5 seconds. The force reaches up to three Gs, delivering a surge of acceleration that hits fast and does not let up.

As you rebound and settle, the aftershock of adrenaline keeps the energy high long after the launch. With over 30 years of operational experience, the expert crew and world-class safety systems ensure you are in safe hands at every stage. This is a bold, controlled, and unforgettable ride that lives up to its reputation as one of the most extreme experiences on the planet.
