Does anyone else really about these types of adventure parks? I personally enjoy them but find them all way too easy, probably because I have a much higher ratio of strength to weight than most people. I wish they'd make some really hard bits to actually push me... Last time I went to one I had to help several people on the way round who were struggling, had to lower 2 people down at early exit points (They were to worn out), had to help 2 people who were stuck and unstick one girls safety clip that she had got twisted and jammed. Does anyone know of any similar activities? Attachments:

I'm more a fan of intelligence to weight ratio theme parks.  |

Yup, I've heard of it and seen a few videos and I want to go on it some day. I don't think it would go that fast for me being light, the max weight people go the fastest. As you mention heights like that, I also want to go sky diving some time. |

Only a few get up to that speed, conditions have to be right. But they weight lighter riders to make them go faster and they can also slow the heavier ones, mainly to ensure the landing is at the right speed. It's near my cottage in Wales so I'm definately going.
Skydiving /parachuting is one of the things I couldn't do. It's the jumping off bit. Same with bungy jumping. I'd never jump. I've done a couple of cliff jumps and its so scary making the leap. I have a massive battle with myself trying to make myself go. And then my legs do this weird cycling thing in the air like they're tring to get back up on the cliff.
I remember once years ago Id queued about an hour in one of those water parks in Florida to go on that vertical slide. I was so scared. You have to lie down and just go over the lip and you free fall, until the slide gradually curves and picks you up. I MADE myself do it. I wasn't going down after id queued an hour and I couldn't dilly dally because of the queue behind, so I just went and screamed all the way. It was over in seconds. But So scary.

Ahh, I'd have to be weighted >_< although if I got stuck mid-way across im sure I could get myself to the other side by hanging upside down on the line and pulling myself across xD
You could do it RC, just go up and get them to push you off/out, get it out of your control because then once you are out you can't go back and have to enjoy it.
Most of the people I know who have done them required being pushed/forced out but once out after 5 seconds of screaming they enjoyed it and said it was one of the best things they've done.
I know at least 2 of my brothers wouldn't be able to jump out and would need to be pushed.
