Swoop - Agroventures Rotorua
About
Description
Located at Agroventures, 10km from Rotorua city, Rotorua Swoop is the adrenaline equivalent to a giant swing…with a bit of a twist.
The Swoop consists of specially designed hang gliding harnesses where you are cocooned inside. Up to three people can participate in a Swoop at one time, the more people the better the ride. As you and up to two friends are cocooned in specially designed harnesses, you will be raised slowly towards the sky, as the anticipation rises, your heart beats faster and faster, causing the adrenaline to rush through your body. On reaching 40 metres, on our command, you pull the ripcord making you free fall head first towards the ground at 130kmph, pulling 3 G’s on the way. Some scream, some are scared to silence, some laugh uncontrollably, most do a combination of all three, what will you do?
