Top US attraction to open first indoor adventure park in the UK – with 16 slides & ‘flying’ coaster

A POPULAR attraction found across America is finally making its way to the UK.

Slick City Nottingham will have the world’s first UV AirGlider – a gravity-powered aerial coaster that makes you feel like you are flying.

Slick City already has 95 sites across America and the Nottingham site will mark the company’s first amusement park in Europe when it comes next month.

Inside the new attraction, there will be a mix of dry slides with different drops and twists.

For example, you could head on Fast Lane – a four-lane slide that has been built for friendly competitions with high-speed sliding.

Then there’s Royal Flush – a slide that features a sheer drop and then you spin around in a massive bowl, that will feel like you’re in a flushing toilet.

There’s even one slide – Avalanche – that is meant to make you feel as if you are skiing downhill, just without the snow.

Alternatively, you could head on Big Wave, which first has a steep drop and then builds speed as you slide back and forth along a blue half-pipe.

Then on the UV AirGlider, visitors will be strapped in and gravity will propel them along a track – with a ultra-violet theme – hanging in the air to make them feel as if they are soaring through the sky.

There’s a freestyle air court and sport air court as well, which are specifically designed with a cushioned and bouncy base making them the ideal spots for parkour tricks.

The attraction – which will span over 4,600sqm – will be designed for children aged four-years-old or over, with children under 12 needing an adult with them.

But there will be a soft play area for little ones aged three-years-old or younger.

And parents can sit back in the onsite cafe with a coffee as well.

The Nottingham site will be the company’s first standalone indoor slide park in Europe.

Slick City launched back in 2021 and has grown rapidly, with Keely Buchanan, park manager at Slick City Nottingham saying “it’s pure adrenaline for every age”.

Many people have taken to social media to express their excitement for the opening, with one person even asking whether there will be adult-only sessions, which is something the company does at its American sites.

There are a number of different ticket types available including 90 minute and 120 minute sessions.

For a 90 minute session, admission costs £19.95 per person.

If you want 120 minutes of fun, then it will set you back £24.95 per person.

You can also add on the AirGlider, which costs £4 for one ride or £10 for three rides – though the three rides must be used by the same person.

It is worth noting you will also need to grab a pair of CitySocks, which cost £3 a pair – but you can keep and re-use them.
