The ride
Second by second
What Creek Runner feels like, beat by beat. The line fills as you scroll.
Boarding
Sit in the log, little ones in the middle. The boat rocks and drifts off.
The roots
A slow drift under mangrove roots with crabs, egrets and a drummer on a jetty.
The firefly climb
A dark lift lined with tiny lights. Children always try to count them.
Two drops
A small drop to warm you up, then the big 14 metre slide. The splash reaches the bridge.

Questions
About Creek Runner
How wet will I get?
The front seat is soaked; the back stays only damp. A poncho helps, but wear clothes that dry fast.
Can a baby ride?
No, riders must be 105 cm or taller. The Firefly Carousel next door is lovely for babies on a lap.
Where can I change?
Changing rooms with lockers sit by the exit, and Lagoon Bay has showers.
