SS Showboat
There used to be a float parade on 1st January every year in Rotorua. One year we saw Mrs Scott all blacked-up on the Showboat float. We could hardly recognise her.
The SS Showboat is a virtual gaming casino which leaves the dock at Taupo, on Lake Taupo at midnight every evening to make the 10 hour 40 mile crossing (slowly) to the southern end of the lake, Turangi. It departs at noon every day for the return.
On board are every type of online gaming, theatres, restaurants, live virtual reality shows.
The only way in is via Roturua Airport, and then a brisk 2hr trip by car or coach to Taupo. Bookings are essential.
Once at Turangi, you can go on an adventure excursion organised by the local Tangata Whenua, drive a virtual car around the loop road at National Park, visit the Army Museum at Waiuru, the Skifields at Ohakune, and much, much more.
