About this listen

A much-loved flying fox in Paraparaumu is being shut down by the council after it failed to meet safety standards.

A frayed cable meant that residents woke up to find the ride padlocked and a sign saying it had been closed.

Paraparaumu Community Board Chair Glen Olsen told Matt and Tyler that “It was fast, it was long, and it was exciting, and it had a thrill”

He said that modern flying foxes are bound by safety restrictions that make the ride less entertaining for children.
