If you are looking for a place to go where your whole
family can have a good time then Ratanga Junction Theme Park is the place for
you. Just 10 minutes from Cape Towns city centre and directly off the N1,
covering about 20 hectares of land with exotic subtropical flora and hair
raising rides, making it a must-see destination when visiting Cape Town. With
over 30 crowd drawing attractions to choose from and with a standing capacity of
7000 people for concerts and other occasions this all makes Ratanga Junction a
true asset to the Western Cape.
Ratanga Junction is first and for most a theme park so the focus is on the rides
of which there are over 24 to choose from. The Cobra is one
of the most popular rides and definitely not for the
faint hearted. You are suspended from the car,
and with your feet hanging in mid-air and your heart racing you are taken
for the thrill of your life to heights of 34meters at 100km per hour. But there
are more family friendly rides like Crocodile Gorge. This ride will get you wet,
but is worth the fun. It travels along a rapid river through a man-made gorge
and under a crashed airplane. There are also plenty of food outlets to
choose from to refresh your senses and cool down. And if the rides are just not
for you then there is always the almost continuous live entertainment.
