Skyline Queenstown general manager Wayne Rose said the building had been designed to maximise the views from the top of Bob’s Peak, while significantly expanding the public viewing area. Later this year, Skyline plans to open the Vortex slide, a high-adrenaline attraction launching from the viewing deck with a 20m vertical drop. The extension building includes a larger viewing deck and new food-and-beverage venues. The new extension building is the latest stage in a redevelopment programme that has been underway since 2018. With the extension building now open, deconstruction of the existing building will begin immediately.
