The Ultimate in Adrenalin Experiences...

So you think you’re tough? Tough enough to take on the challenge of a lifetime? Try this for size… Picture the scene, you’re enveloped in semi darkness, spot lights whirl around a breathtaking steel structure. You start to climb the steps to the jump zone taking you to an 150ft drop. Music pumps out of a wall of speakers, dry ice fills the air and huge video screens project images of what you are about to experience...

So what exactly is 'The 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.

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 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. 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 the 150ft 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.
