A huge zip wire attraction that provide views of the waterfront may be built across Cardiff Bay, Wales.
Plans have been revealed for two zip wires to be launched from a purpose-built platform on the roof of St. David’s Hotel that would travel across the bay and land in front of the Norwegian Church.
The company responsible for the project is Zip Now, a London-based outdoor activity organiser, which operates adventure experiences in three locations in North Wales.
According to the planning application, the zip wire would accommodate up to 48 people every hour. The attraction would be in operation for 26 weeks of the year, between July and January.
The planning application states:
“Two zip wires will take riders on a fast aerial journey over 350m to land on a 12m platform in Britannia Park – at an exciting but safe gradient of 7.5%.
“From the launch platform and throughout the flight, riders enjoy unique views of the location and much of the Cardiff skyline.
“Visitors will enjoy watching the event and the hotel should benefit from friends and family or riders using the hotel for accommodation and refreshments.”
Councillors in Cardiff are expected to make a decision about the planned attraction in forthcoming months.
