Queenstown
Calling all Queenstown Monopoly bid voters! The resort's Disney Channel marble movers need your vote.
Bridget Kirk and Hollie Tuinman-Bell, both 12, spent five days during their summer holidays constructing a large marble mover invention for a competition celebrating the channel's latest animated series Phineas and Ferb.
Their creation features many of Queenstown's favourite iconic landmarks plus a few of the girls' favourite haunts.
To their delight their video entry, filmed by their helpful older sisters, scored a place in the top four in Australasia this month.
All four entries in the finals are from New Zealand.
The two Wakatipu High School pupils now face a nerve-racking wait until the overall winner is announced on Disney Channel on March 28 at 4.45pm.
The girls modelled their entry on Queenstown's Caddyshack Mini Golf concept, only in this case it's a marble instead of a golf ball travelling the run.
The marble starts its journey at the top of the Skyline Gondola, travelling down the luge and on to the gondola through Queenstown Mall, stopping at some of the girls' favourite stores and the movie theatre, before making its way along the Steamer Wharf and on to the waiting Earnslaw.
A Disney Channel crew came to Queenstown to film the girls who have been regularly starring on TV since February 27.
Hollie's younger sister Brylee, 8, also got to star on filming day.
Online voting closes on March 27 and the girls said they hoped everyone would get behind their bid and vote on www.disneychannel.co.nz
