WALES-based adventure company Zip World will soon be flying high above Rhyl, with the introduction of its 20th adventure, “Skyflyer”.
Launching as a flagship attraction at the new Zip World Rhyl site, the airship, located along the beachfront, will be the ultimate sight-seeing adventure, and will be open from Thursday, July 21.
You will be elevated 400ft in the air to take in the panoramic views of the North Wales coast and beyond.
The blimp-style airship is the latest innovation in the arena of adventure activity attractions and is the first of its kind in the world.
The attraction has been designed to be accessible to all, including wheelchair users, and features other support equipment for those with disabilities.
“Skyflyer” will also be joined on-site by “Big Red”, a mini zip line ideal for families to enjoy together.
Zip World owner and president Sean Taylor said: “It’s an exciting time for Zip World, opening our fourth site in North Wales and bringing adventure to the ever-growing town of Rhyl.
“The North Wales coastline boasts some of the best views in the country so we couldn't have picked a better location to be the home of a worlds-first sight-seeing experience.
"Skyflyer will be a chance for people of all ages and abilities to sit back and enjoy panoramic views from above in a relaxed atmosphere.
"It also marks an exciting time for Zip World, with the opening of our fifth site in Wales.
“We can't to create more unforgettable experiences for the whole family in Rhyl."
Zip World Rhyl will join Zip World’s three sites in North Wales, and one in South Wales.
Best known for the world’s fastest zip line in Penrhyn Quarry, which reaches speeds of 100mph, the adventure company has helped to cement north Wales as the adventure capital of Europe.
