School Holiday Loop One

Designed for families unfamiliar with the park who want a grade 3 loop to ride for around an hour and a half.
START AT HUB CAR PARK
Follow the path south past the shelter and toilets and go through the tunnel onto Inwards Goods.
Stay on Inwards Goods (stay left) until it merges onto Tourist Trap.
Stay on Tourist Trap (avoid being a Piker) until you reach the junction with Ferret.
OPTION: Ferret will add 10-15 minutes to your ride and merges back onto Tourist Trap. Don’t leave the track onto the forestry road. See the blue circle on the map
Continue on Tourist Trap. When you emerge into younger pine trees you will see the old carpark.
Leave Tourist Trap, cross the road and ride through the shelter at the old car park.
FROM THE OLD CAR PARK
Head across the car park (slight right) and exit under the bridge.
Follow the track going right through the tunnel under the road onto Hammer It.
Go left up Tank Stand to the junction of Coaster. (The Tank Down track, grade 4, to the left, accesses many more tracks in the north of the park)
Go right down Coaster.
Depending on the “Can we do that again?” factor (back up Tank Stand) head south onto Nail It and back under the road.
OPTION: If you have had enough go left out through the carpark and follow Tourist Trap back to the Café.
Otherwise stay right onto Scraggs.
Ride the waves and check out the jumps and emerge through the tunnel at Managers Corner. (Green cross on the map)
Head south across the road onto SH Fun. (red on the map) Continue enjoying yourself and then watch for the exit at the ITM bridge. (Red on the map at the Wairakei Drive end of SH Fun)
OPTION: You are 10 minutes from the finish here, but if you want to do more, then ride the Bumble Bee/BBC loop which returns to the ITM bridge.
Cross the road beside the ITM bridge and go right onto Zip. Zip winds it’s way back beside Wairakei Drive to the Hub car park.
