The skyline over Mt Ngongotahā will be a little quieter next week with the iconic Skyline Rotorua gondola paused for maintenance.
The 2200m haul rope that connects the 900m-long gondola system is to be replaced as part of scheduled maintenance. The rope is replaced every eight to 10 years in line with industry and manufacturer guidelines and was last replaced in late 2013.
Skyline Rotorua general manager Andrew Jensen said the haul rope was being replaced early to ensure maximum safety for visitors and at a typically quieter trading time to minimise disruption.
