One adrenaline rush not enough? Why not do the Triple Whammy and get three amazing experiences in one day? You’ll enter the Abyss, at Magna in Rotherham, for a unique indoor experience designed for the ultimate thrill-seeker. Inside the Abyss you will find yourself in semi-darkness with dry ice, music and effect lighting creating a chilling atmosphere.
You’ll begin with a zip wire as you whizz across 250ft of the complex then it’s on to the abseil where you’ll climb a 150ft steel building. Finally, you’ll take on the parachute descender for 150ft of exhilarating freefall in a rapid plunge towards a power-fan which will catch you with a powerful uplift making sure you float to a soft landing in the last few feet of the drop. Not for the fainthearted – this is the ultimate experience for adventure-lovers everywhere.
After a briefing from your instructor, you will be kitted out with your harness and safety equipment. Then you will climb the long and winding walkway into the rafters to the 500ft indoor zip wire, the equivalent of 6 stories above the ground. The jumpmaster will attach you then it’s time to push off and whizz down the wire, accelerating to speeds of up to 30mph before safely reaching the landing zone.
Next, it’s off to climb the 143 steps to the Abseil zone. After some instruction on how to safely descend it’s up to you to abseil into the Abyss from 150ft. With your heart pounding, you will climb the 143 steps once again for your final buzz on the 150ft parachute descender. You will experience the rush of gravity before the high-powered braking system allows you to parachute safely onto solid ground.
