# ZORB Rotorua > By the Inventors > # Company Information Name: ZORB Rotorua Founded: 1997 Location: Rotorua, New Zealand Specialising in: adventure tourism, New Zealand experiences Description: ZORB Rotorua offers a gravity-powered ball rolling experience on Mt Ngongotahā, where participants ride inside a large inflatable ball down purpose-built tracks. Guests can choose from four tracks: the Sidewinder (a long zig-zag course), the Straight Track (smooth and fast), the MEGA Track (the longest, steepest, and fastest), and the Pipeline Track, which features curves and an enclosed arboreal tunnel section. Each ride uses approximately 40 litres of water to create a smooth sliding motion without tumbling. Water temperature is adjusted seasonally. ZORB Rotorua is the only location in New Zealand offering this activity. ## Pages - [Christmas & Holiday Events @ ZORB](https://zorb.com/groups-education/team-building-corporate-events/christmas-holiday-events-zorb/) -
