Huge new £10million ‘Europe-first’ adventure attraction to open in the UK with gondola, karting and sky swing
A NEW multi-million attraction with a karting experiences is planned for the UK.
A new £10.2million attraction for Kilvey Hill in Swansea, Wales, is currently being discussed by Swansea Council.
Called the Swansea Skyline project, the attraction would have a gondola-style lift stretching over one-mile long from the Hafod-Morfa Copperworks to the top of the hill.
There would also be a downhill karting experience from the top of the hill via three winding tracks.
A promotional video for the new attraction also showed that the tracks could be used at night too, lit with neon lights.
There would then also be a sky swing and a number of walking and cycling trails.

For when you get hungry, there would also be a restaurant onsite with a separate bar overlooking the bay.
And for kids needing to let off some steam, a children’s playground is planned for outside as well.
In an update this week, work has started on the base station for the gondola as well as on Kilvey Hill, where the groundworks for the ‘luge’ tracks has started.
The company behind the project is based in New Zealand and Swansea Skyline would be their first site in the UK, as well as Europe.
According to the projects website, the company said: “We are here because we believe Kilvey Hill is an extraordinary place, and we’re committed to benefiting the Swansea community for the long term.”
Kilvey Hill sits just outside the city of Swansea and is known for being a 193 metre hill with panoramic views of the city centre, Swansea Bay and the coastline.
Currently, the spot is popular for woodland walks and mountain biking.
The attraction hopes to open in 2028.
