There is an outdoor deck where you can capture beautiful landscapes and I highly recommend going a bit before sunset so you can watch the beautiful colors as the sun set. We stayed about 2 hours just riding the gondola and taking pics but I'm sure it will take longer if you dine at the restaurant as well as do the Luge and go skiing. Overall, simply seeing the view with the gondola tickets is great already. The tickets do include a return ride and there is a nice small cafe/bar up top inside if you want to sit down but seats are limited unless you reserve in advance.
I went for three luge rides with some three other friends of our group and the experience was exhilarating. Although, yes, I wish the tracks were a little longer, but, in their defense, there some lots of construction going on around, so I'll trust the process and look for it's bright future.
Overall, the experience ha been enjoyable and fun. Might come back whenever I/we get the chance. Also, not to mention the breathtaking view all around Queenstown with the snowy mountains, the city, and the lake.
