(由 Google 翻译)毫无疑问,这是我经历过的最可怕但最有趣的经历之一。
该区域分为 5 个球场,第一个球场几乎是地面水平的“教程”,由三个障碍组成。剩下的四个项目的高度和难度会随着您的努力而增加,其中第二个项目是完全有人监督的,最后三个项目基本上是无人监督的。
安全功能和说明非常详尽,只要您遵守规则,就永远不会安全地连接到某些东西。您的安全带上附有两条“生命线”,因此当您连接到路线上的下一个障碍物时,您仍然连接到最后一个平台上的安全绳,直到您确定一切都安全为止!
障碍训练场本身就很棒,有各种各样的踏步平台、跳跃、悬挂、滑索,甚至在某一点还有一个隧道(你可以直视地面)。非常适合寻求刺激和希望挑战自我的人。大多数球场都有分支路径,为那些想要挑战更难、更可怕的障碍(例如第 5 号球场上巨大的“人猿泰山秋千”)或者想要玩得更安全的人提供选择。我们基本上都是谨慎行事,因为这是我们第一次,后来的课程变得相当高,但我们都强迫自己完成信仰的巨大飞跃,即最后的泰山秋千。每条路线都以滑索结束,我发现这可以完全消除路线中的所有恐惧,因为您可以在森林中有趣而惊险地滑行回到安全地带,然后落地并再次出发。
我们一家五口参加了课程,但在经历了一些泪水和大量的努力后,一家人完成了课程,最终导致我们两个最小的孩子认输了。但工作人员非常乐于助人,对一切都很友善。我们最小的孩子(10 岁)在第一个障碍处脱下安全带,发现高度太高,但在看了我们其他人之后,她坚持要再试一次。工作人员非常友善地让她再试一次,她克服了一些障碍,然后在第一次泰山秋千上冻结并再次转身。尽管我们极力推动并被允许第二次尝试,但我们仍然获得了她机票的全额退款。它显示了现场整个团队的友善和出色。
我们最大的孩子在第二个球场的第一次泰山秋千上也被冻住了好几次,可能花了 20 分钟才最终迈出第一步。但当其他人经过时,我们的教练艾莉从未停止用善意的鼓励和安慰的话,他自己也努力做到这一点。最终,在面对这种恐惧之后,他是我们三个孩子中唯一一个与我们一起完成了所有 5 个课程的人,其中包括 12m 高的第 5 课程中的巨型泰山秋千。
我们的老二尽其所能地做到了这一点,他在他所做到的事情上度过了一段美好的时光,并在身高对他来说太大时称之为它。我在最后一门课程中几乎做了同样的事情,但已经做到了这一点,我想坚持下去,我很高兴我做到了。
我设法得到的两位工作人员的名字,埃莉和罗文,非常乐于助人,他们真的值得特别一提,最后为我们办理证书的那位女士也很棒,但遗憾的是没能得到她的名字。他们团队中的每个人都非常棒,但罗文和埃莉尤其竭尽全力确保我们团队中的每个人都很好并且玩得很开心。我们肯定让他们很头疼了……
第一次在雨中去可能不是最好的主意。对我来说,这让气氛变得更加愉快(我喜欢雨中的森林),但一些障碍物,特别是金属障碍物,确实变得非常滑,最终变得更加可怕。但有了安全绳,就没有危险了。
最终我们都度过了愉快的一天,尽管我很害怕,但我还是会百分百地回去再做一遍。热情好客,我希望经理和大公司能够欣赏这里的团队是多么出色!

Hands down one of the scariest but most fun experiences I’ve ever had.
The area is split across 5 courses with the first one being an almost ground level ‘tutorial’ comprised of three obstacles. The remaining four increase in height and difficulty as you work your way through them with the second being completely supervised and the last three being largely unsupervised.
The safety features and instructions are very thorough, as long as you follow the rules you are never not connected to something safely. You have two ‘lifelines’ attached to your harness so while you’re hooking up to the next obstacle on the course you’re still connected to the safety line on the last platform until you’re certain everything is secure!!
The obstacle courses themselves were fantastic with a great variety of stepping platforms, jumps, hangs, zip lines, and even a tunnel at one point (which sees you staring straight at the ground). Perfect for thrill seekers and those wishing to push themselves. Most of the courses have branching pathways having options for those who wish to push themselves with the harder and scarier obstacles (like the giant ‘Tarzan swing’ on course 5), or want to play it a little safer. We mostly played it safe as it was our first time and the later courses get quite high, but we did all push ourselves to do the giant leap of faith that is the Tarzan swing at the end. Each of the courses ends in a zip-line, which I found to completely eradicate all fear from the course as you have a fun and thrilling glide through the forest back to safety and hit the ground rearing to go again.
We went as a family of 5 but completed the course as a family of two after some tears and a lot of real effort to push through that ultimately led our two youngest to throw in the towel. But the staff were incredibly accommodating and kind about everything. Our youngest (a 10 year old) took off her harness at the first obstacle finding the height to be too much but after watching the rest of us she was insistent she wanted to try again. The staff very kindly let her try again and she made it through a few obstacles before freezing at the first Tarzan swing and turning around again. Despite us pushing and being allowed a second attempt, we were still issued a full refund for her ticket. It shows just how kind and how wonderful the whole team are at the site.
Our oldest also froze several times at the first Tarzan swing on course two, probably spending 20 minutes up there before finally taking the leap. But our instructor Ellie never stopped with kind words of encouragement and reassurance as other people passed and he worked himself up to do it. Ultimately after facing that fear he was the only one of our three kids to finish all 5 courses with us including the giant Tarzan swing on the 12m high course 5.
Our middle child made it as far as he could manage having a great time on what he managed and calling it when the height got too much for him. I very nearly did the same for the last course but having made it that far I wanted to push through and I’m very glad I did.
The two staff who’s names I managed to get, Ellie and Rowan, were so helpful they really deserve special mention, and the lady at the end who did our certificates was also great but sadly didn’t manage to get her name. Everyone on their team was absolutely fantastic, but Rowan and Ellie in particular went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group was okay and having fun. We must have caused them so many headaches…
Going in the rain was maybe not the best idea for a first time. For me it made the atmosphere the much more enjoyable (I love a forest in the rain) but some of the obstacles, particularly the metal ones, did become very slippery and ultimately much much scarier as a result. But with the safety lines there was no risk.
Ultimately we all had a great day out and I, despite my fear, would 100% go back and do it all again. Hospitality at its finest, I hope the managers and larger company appreciate just how amazing the team here are!!
