Adventure Park Design & Attractions

Zip-Rush designs your adventure park and build it from the ground up. You can trust our fifteen years of experience with over 50 builds on 5 continents backing it up.

Safety is not just an abstract concept for us.  It is of paramount importance during every step of design and within all aspects of operation.  All our zipline systems and adventure parks are designed to meet and exceed US and Canadian safety and engineering standards to ensure that our clients are provided with the safest installation possible. From the very first line we installed and over the years, we have been implementing PRCA, ACCT and Canadian CSA Ropeways Standards. We have since then forged our very own standards by testing materials, developed partnerships with more efficient suppliers and inventing new extraordinary technologies.  When you buy with Ascensacion, you buy peace of mind.

The standards set for professional installers are meant to define with clarity and precision the execution of the tasks of installation. By establishing specific rules, we ensure optimal operating capacity and safer facilities.

Climbing

A climbing structure is an excellent complement to a zipline or aerial course. Equipped with TRUBLUE auto-belays, it can offer up to four routes with a single operator, considerably shortening the return-on-investment period.

These structures can support individual or team challenges and can also serve as a launch platform for a zipline or controlled free-fall system. Every installation is designed and engineered around the client’s precise needs and operating goals.

Installed indoors or outdoors, they make better use of existing site resources and create new revenue opportunities. A multi-activity climbing structure can easily become the focal point of an adventure park.

High Ropes Courses

High ropes courses integrate naturally with a zipline tour, but they can also operate as a standalone attraction. They can extend the guest experience by two or three hours and significantly increase revenue. We design courses in trees, on wooden poles, or on steel structures, with hundreds of possible configurations.

Zip-Rush gives safety priority throughout every phase of design and construction. We apply the standards of the Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) and the Professional Ropes Course Association (PRCA), supported by our own testing procedures, high-quality suppliers, and innovative safety methods.

Mega-Swing

The Mega-Swing can be designed to deliver different levels of height, speed, and intensity. Our indoor and outdoor installations have allowed us to refine the techniques and equipment needed for dependable, safe operation.

Every project is adapted to the terrain, the available height, and the desired experience. An exceptional site may even make a cliff-edge installation possible.

Controlled Free-Fall

The POWERFAN®, manufactured by Dropzone (UK) Ltd, delivers a controlled free-fall experience without a parachute or a bungee cord attached to the ankles.

The system safely and repeatedly controls a person’s descent by dissipating energy through a fan. Powered only by the participant’s weight, it requires no external energy source. The descent is fast, while the landing remains progressive and gentle.

Each POWERFAN includes an integrated rewind mechanism that can support a throughput of up to one participant per minute. A cycle counter helps plan maintenance, while installation, inspection, and servicing can be completed by a qualified person.

Climbing structure are a great addition to any zipline and/or rope course operation. Equipped with the TrueBlue Auto-Belay, it is now possible to operate up to 4 routes with only one operator, bringing down the return of investment to a very short period. 

They have many different uses: from team and individual challenge, serve as a launch for a ziplines or a Powerfan and  are designed and engineered to the meet the specific need and goals of client.

Climbing structures can be installed outdoors and indoors, to best utilize resources already on site and to add revenues. A multi-activities climbing structure can easily become the focus point of your adventure park.

There is not limit yet to how high, how fast and how scary the Mega-Swing can be; this is why we like it so much here at Zip-Rush. 

We have build it outdoors and outdoors with a maximum height of up to fifteen meters and these experiences has allow us to perfect the technique and hardware used for absolute safety and reliability. 

Our next goal is to jump off a cliff no matter how high it can be. All is necessary to acheive this goal is to find the site. Would you be the first to jump? 

Free-Fall

The_POWERFAN is a highly engineered machine manufactured by Dropzone (UK) Ltd is able to provide the freefall adventure of your life, in safety and without needing to deploy a parachute or strap yourself by the ankle to a bungee cord! 

Technically it is a device that will safely and repeatedly control a person’s descent, dissipating the potential energy by means of a fan. The fan is driven only by the descending person's mass and does not require an external power source. The POWERFAN® enables users to make a very rapid descent whilst ensuring a gentle landing. It is designed for use in either a recreational or developmental environment, under the supervision of a competent operator.

Each POWERFAN incorporates an integral rewind mechanism to ensure a fast and efficient recall and the machine is so efficient that a through-put of one person every minute is perfectly feasible. There is also a counter to regulate servicing and maintenance schedules. Furthermore installation, inspection and maintenance can be carried out by any competent person, in-house or otherwise. 

Planning an adventure park around its visitors

A ropes course, climbing attraction, giant swing or zipline should fit both the site and the intended audience. Consider how visitors arrive, queue, receive instructions and move between activities, alongside access for your operating team.

Prepare a site plan, photographs and a list of the experiences you want to offer. A clear brief helps define the attractions, development phases and professional services your project will require.
