How do you like to get your adrenaline pumping? Plummeting to the ground on drop tower, perhaps? Being spun upside down\u00a0on a loop-the-loop? Being flung around on gyro-swing<\/a>? Or maybe, you prefer zooming at high speeds down a giant slide? If it\u2019s the latter, we\u2019ve got news that\u2019ll be right up your alley.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Later this month, the\u00a0UK\u2019s longest outdoor tubing slide will launch at Zip World in Heaton Park, Manchester<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zip World\u2019s brand new Forest Tubing experience is made up of two slides, one\u00a077m in length, the other 88m (equivalent to around nine double-deckers parked in a line). They both begin 10 metres above ground and weave down\u00a0through the trees of Heaton Park, which is one of the largest municipal parks in Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Punters will be able\u00a0whizz down\u00a0the slides\u00a0inside a doughnut ring on their own or in a pair and will come across a series of\u00a0bends and small bumps that\u2019ll give the doughnut a little lift into the air.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new ride will be ready in time for May half term and will be\u00a0suitable for kids as young as four-years-old, as long as they\u2019re at least one metre tall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The CEO of Zip World, Andrew Hudson, said: \u2018Forest Tubing is a fun high\u2011energy experience that the whole family can enjoy. We\u2019re proud to bring the UK\u2019s longest tubing experience to Manchester and give people even more reasons to get outside and spend quality time together.\u2019<\/p>\n

An hour session of unlimited rides on the slides\u00a0starts costs between \u00a317 and \u00a320 per person, depending on when you book \u2013 the earlier you buy a ticket the cheaper it\u2019ll be.\u00a0The experience officially opens on May 22 and is available to book on ZipWorld\u2019s site now<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Did you see that this British theme park has been crowned one of the best in the world<\/a>?<\/p>\n
