What's involved

Experience the thrill of the Tower Coaster, Europe’s first two-seater roller coaster of its kind, and race around the historic Zip World Tower site at speeds of up to 25 mph along over a kilometre of twisting, turning track.

Packed with adrenaline-pumping features like tunnels, banked corners, dips, and peaks, the coaster offers an exhilarating way to explore the iconic Tower Colliery - a site rich in history. Once the UK’s oldest continuously working deep-coal mine, Tower Colliery also holds the unique legacy of being run by a cooperative of workers during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Your ticket includes three thrilling rides, and since you're in control of your speed, you can push yourself to go faster with each lap. For double the fun, share the excitement with a friend as you ride side-by-side on this unforgettable adventure through history and high-speed thrills.

Whether you're celebrating a Cardiff hen party, birthday or are just after a totally unique experience with your friends or family in South Wales, look no further than Zip World's exciting Tower Coaster!

This was only 10 minutes from the hotel. The staff where great and talked you through everything you needed to know. There were plenty to do there and places to eat if needed. There was a small zip to get you adjusted to the big one this helped and got some of the nerves out of the way. Great place deffo do this again.

Damian

Always wanted to do this a bucket list activity ticked off, experience of a life time. Staff where brilliant and so warm and welcoming. Only downside was the grim temporary toilet but they are building a new building so these will be gone soon.

The bounce below site had plenty to do. They had the intitial bounce below caverns but there were also caverns which you could climb. Separate payment. There is a group of ziplines there one being titan. The location was also in a slate quarry similar to zipworld. Friendly staff great fun. Don't do this with a hang over lol
