Thrill seekers across the East Midlands now have a brand-new place to play now that Europe’s first indoor slide action park has officially opens its doors in Nottingham.
Slick City, based in the Lenton area of the city, opened its doors to punters for the first time last week and they were more than happy to put the park’s 16 different twisting and turning slides through their paces.
Slick City already has more than 95 sites in the US and its latest – their first park this side of the pond – spans 50,000 square foot.
Adrenaline junkies can spiral through twisting tubes on the Hyperloop, race friends down a four-lane slide before landing on a giant air cushioned mat, or brave the dramatic plunge of Riptide – one of the park’s most intense slides.
The new indoor action park is also home to the world’s first UV AirGlider, a gravity-powered aerial coaster that sends riders gliding above the park, creating the sensation of flying.
Sports lovers can also test their skills on the air courts, featuring an air-tracked floor designed to make basketball and football even more exciting.
Keely Buchanan, park manager at Slick City Nottingham, said the team had been blown away by the level of excitement there’s been across the East Midlands leading up to the opening date of Slick City.
