The Awesome
Foursome is a highly intense day, combining four different activities that will
really give you your fix of adrenaline!
Zip Wire - Abseil - Powerfan™ - Bungee Jump
Located at the Magna Science Adventure Centre and facilitated by the UK Bungee
Club. These activities utilise the breathtaking facilities and structures of
this former steel works, providing a truly dramatic backdrop for the ultimate in
adrenalin experiences.
Although not for the faint hearted the day is designed to build confidence,
starting with the zip wire before building to up to larger heights.
Zip Wire
The Zip Wire is great for those unsure of adrenalin activities, or for building
the confidence of those wanting to progress to more adventurous activities
later. With a minimum level of instruction required the Zip Wire is a perfect
way of starting your Awesome Foursome Experience. 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 the building, you’ll find
yourself flying over old melting pots from a bygone era while spectators watch
you the whole way from a parallel walkway.
Abseil (free abseil*)
Abseiling is an extremely exhilarating and testing activity requiring the
participant to control there own descent to the ground. Climbing the steps in
Magna’s 150ft Face of Steel Building can be a daunting challenge in itself,
however once at our purpose built abseil platform our qualified instructor will
put you at ease and explain the principles involved before setting you on your
way (* Note – this is a free abseil meaning that you abseil into free air and
not down the side of a wall)
Powerfan™
The POWERFAN® is currently unique to The Abyss being the only one in the world
from this height. Powerfan is a highly engineered machine that is able to
provide the freefall adventure of your life; it is a device that will safely and
repeatedly control a person’s descent, dissipating the potential energy by means
of a fan. With you fully kitted in a safety harness and attached to the
Powerfan’s chord, in essence it enables you to step off the platform high up in
the150ft face of steel building and make a very rapid descent towards the floor
before the fan system above you kicks in ensuring you float to a soft landing.
Bungee Jump
Picture the scene: You are enveloped in semi darkness, spot lights whirl around
Magna’s breathtaking structure, the Face of Steel, standing at 150 feet; you
start the 143 step climb to the jump zone music pumps out of a wall of speakers,
dry ice fills the air, and 7 huge video screens project images of what you are
about to experience …and that’s before you’ve even taken the plunge!
The Abyss @ Magna launched on November 9th 2005 is the UK’s scariest adrenalin
experience, the World’s highest indoor Bungee Jump and the only permanent Bungee
Jumping facility in the UK
Located 1 mile Junction 34 of the M1
