Zip Wire @ The Abyss
About the experience
Located at the at the award winning Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham, a £46 million Millennium project, The Abyss has created a unique experience for thrill seekers. Set in semi darkness complete with music, video screens, dry ice and effect lighting, four exhilarating activities utilise the breath-taking facilities and structures of this former steel works, providing a truly dramatic backdrop for the ultimate adrenalin experiences. If you fancy a thrill but are not quite the dare devil type, then the Zip Wire experience is perfect for you. With a minimum level of instruction required the Zip Wire is a perfect way of including participants from all backgrounds. Starting from the steps of an old overhead crane capable of lifting 100 tonnes and standing at 70ft in height, the Zip Wire stretches out 250ft down the length of Magna, you’ll find yourself flying over old melting pots from a bygone era while spectators watch you the whole way from a parallel walkway. Plus there is always a future opportunity to build confidence and progress onto the bigger activities later on.
