This Sky Trail® Ropes Course will challenge guests to traverse through a 20 foot (6 m) high, 42 foot (13 m) long and 64 foot ( 20 m) wide attraction, while harnessed in a closed-tracking safety system.
Wow Factory will also feature Prime Play’s ever popular Ballocity™ attraction and an exciting Climbing Wall. The Ballocity™ attraction will showcase custom Wow Factory theming and 3 levels with multiple activities that promote interaction between the levels as well as between guests. Activities include a vacuum system from the ground floor to the 3rd level, as well as a dumping bucket where dozens of kids can assist in filling it up before the timer goes off, dropping hundreds of foam balls!
The integration of the Ballocity™, Sky Trail® Ropes Course, and Climbing Wall attractions will cater to a wide demographic since the Ballocity™ best caters to younger kids and their parents, while the Ropes Course and Climbing Wall cater to older kids, teens and adults.
