From the height of nine double decker buses you whizz along the 225 metre wire with a view of Big Ben, The Houses of Parliament, the Thames, and more. It’s an exhilarating ride that is made all the more spectacular by the surroundings – although it’s hard to focus on them when you’re careering along at an adrenaline fuelled pace. As playgrounds go, London’s a great one, but the guys also have rides across Europe, including the toboggan-style Fforest Coaster, Velocity, the fastest zip line in the world and the longest in Europe, and even underground rides in the Caverns.
