The ultimate in adrenalin experiences...

So what is 'Awesome Foursome'?

Well, put simply it's not a choice of one, two or three of the following challenges, it's all four, on the same day in the fantastic Abyss at Magna in Rotherham.

What is the Triple Whammy?

The Triple Whammy is three challenges: the Zip Wire, Abseil and Powerfan.

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 to start 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 their 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 the purpose built abseil platform, your 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. Fully kitted in a safety harness and attached to the Powerfan’s chord, you will step off the 150ft high platform 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 while spotlights 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 seven huge video screens project images of what you are about to experience …and then you take the plunge.
