Queenstown is set in the heart of Lord of the Rings country and it reminded me a lot of Mordor from the film. Mordor's where the evil Sauron lives, and where the little hobbit Frodo must travel to fulfill his destiny. The similarity with Queenstown is not only in the scenery, but in the fear it evokes - the closer you get to it, you know that the only way the story's going to end is with you jumping off a mountain.
It's where all the dangerous things come together - canyon swings, bungees, whitewater surfing, teapots filled with cocktails. It's a lot for a little hobbit to have to deal with.
Frodo didn't have a safety harness to protect him, but he did have a mate who was a wizard and I guess that kind of evens things out...
