Anyone tried this? Seems we are going there on a Stag do so could do with some info on the place.
It's owned by the same folk that have the Pencil Museum in Cumbria.
Hope its a bit more exciting..
Looks like a job for my helmet cam!
pretty fun! you go underground trampolining in the slate mine and ride Antur Stiniog the same day.
it was windy so cancelled...was that helpful?
There are two Zip Worlds - the 'Velocity' in Bethesda(?) which is the long one, or 'Titan' in Blaenau Ffestiniog which is 3 or 4 shorter ones.
It's the Velocity one, a full mile apparently!
We looked at that for a stag do too - decided that at £60 per person for a 1 minute ride it was a bit pricey.
I understand that all the equipment, training, and personnel, etc. costs money, but for 15 of us that would have been £900!
Looks fun, but then what are you going to do for the rest of the day?

That rules out Amsterdam then for another possible venue.. 😉
Badoom-tish!
I'd at least expect 10 minutes.
We did Velocity in October. Pricey, yes, but I think it's pitched about right, they've quite a few staff and a new visitor centre going up. You do a smaller slide first as a 'warm up', I think we were there nearly 2 hours in total. I'm happy I did it and I'm a stingy old Scotsman
Not sure how busy it is just now but booking was essential back then and the Welsh kids weren't even on holiday.
£60 is a tad steep but hey, its a rush!
It's bloody awesome and well worth the money. Went last April as part of a riding weekend and we had a blizzard when at the top, delaying our descent, which added to the thrill. Bloody freezing mind. I'd do it again tomorrow.
Bloody freezing when I did Velocity. Wood burner going in the hut at the top to keep warm. In the rain it's a bit like pressure washing your face at 70mph.
Daughter got a Velocity voucher for Christmas, so looks like I'm going again, just to keep her company as the wife won't do it.
Also done Titan with the daughter previously when she was too young for Velocity. She is stoked she's now old enough to do Velocity.
Yeh it is expensive, but that what 'experience' thing isn't these days. I wouldn't be going again if it wasn't to take my daughter. At least it will be another 7 years before the lad can go on Velocity.
I've ridden at Antur and seen it. I'm not daft on those things but it didn't look that bad. Certainly nowhere near as big or fast as the Fantasticable in Chatel
I'm doing velocity in April, also doing the underworld adventure on the same trip
Looking forward to both
