UNIQUE ADVENTURE Zip World is about living life a little more adventurously and having fun with friends and family in the most unique ways. Zip World won international acclaim
when it opened Zip World ‘Velocity’ at Penrhyn Quarry, Bethesda in March 2013. Offering riders the closest experience a human being can get to skydiving without actually leaping out of a plane. It involves flying head-first for just under a mile, exceeding speeds of 100mph down a mountain and then straight over a cliff, 500-feet above the quarry lake with spectacular views as far as Ireland.
FIRST FOUR PERSON ZIP LINE The new Zip World ‘Titan’, at Llechwedd Slate Caverns, near the historic slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog opened in 2014. This is the first four person zip line in Europe where riders have three individual zip lines to complete. The first zip line gives panoramic views of Snowdonia as you travel over moor land. The second has a huge drop of 500-feet and is also the quickest line, while the third finishes at the top of the hill, overlooking the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog.
BOUNCE BELOW At the same time that Titan was opened and in the same location, Zip World also opened the world’s first subterranean playground called ‘Bounce Below’. Bounce Below consists of giant

Zip World ‘Titan’, at Llechwedd Slate Caverns is Europe’s first four person zip line which opened in 2014
suspended in a slate cavern hidden underground. The Zip World portfolio of adventures
continues to grow and 2015 saw another world first, Zip World ‘Caverns’. Zip World Caverns is home to a series of exhilarating underground zip lines, rope bridges, obstacles and tunnels. It has been built in vast caverns that were first excavated nearly 200 years ago and have remained largely unchanged. Zip World offers the ultimate day out or short break and is a truly unique adventure.
