Take flight above Penrhyn Quarry on an overhead zip coaster that combines a harnessed ride with wide open slate views. Climb two spiral towers, then complete two runs across 400m of track, loops and twists at speeds of up to 30mph.
Check in 30 minutes before your activity, then head to the nearby kit area for a harness, helmet and safety briefing. The team introduces the overhead track and explains the launch process before the first climb.
Ascend the first tower and ease into the initial section, then move to the taller tower for the longer, faster stretch. The track loops and turns above the quarry while your harness stays connected throughout.
After your first ride, you get a second go to enjoy the course again. Once you land for the final time, return your kit and take in the quarry setting from ground level.
Penrhyn Quarry sits in the mountain landscape of North Wales, with slate walls and long views making the ride feel dramatically exposed. The overhead track lets you experience that landscape in motion rather than simply looking out over it.
Bethesda is accessible by road and public transport from Bangor and the wider North Wales coast. The site also has facilities for making a longer day of the area.
You must be between 1.25m and 1.93m tall and weigh between 30kg and 110kg. Participants should be able to climb the spiral towers and feel comfortable being suspended in a harness.
No prior experience is needed, as the team provides the safety briefing and fits your equipment. Under 18s require the stated adult supervision, and secure clothing suitable for outdoor movement is essential.
The unusual overhead design gives you the sensation of free flight while keeping the harness and track system controlled. Two rides give you time to settle into the feeling before taking on the faster run with more confidence.
Its setting above a historic slate quarry turns a high energy ride into something distinctly North Welsh. The combination of towers, loops and exposed views makes it a memorable option for adventure seekers.

The activity itself lasts around 45 minutes, with two rides on the overhead zip coaster. Arrive around 30 minutes before your session so there is enough time to check in and get fitted with your safety equipment.
The exact pace can vary slightly as the team brief the group and prepare each rider. Allow a little additional time if you want to explore the quarry surroundings after the experience.
Your experience includes two rides on the overhead coaster course. The first gives you time to get used to the suspended harness and the sensation of travelling along the track.
The second lets you take on the route with more confidence and enjoy the towers, turns and quarry views again. Both rides are part of the same session.
Participants must be between 1.25m and 1.93m tall. These limits help ensure the harness and coaster system can be used safely and comfortably.

After check-in, equipment fitting and a safety briefing, you climb the first spiral tower and set off on the overhead track. The harness stays connected throughout as the course carries you through twists, loops and open quarry views.
You then take a second ride, using the experience from the first run to enjoy the route with greater confidence. The session finishes at the activity area, where you return your equipment.
Children who meet the stated height and weight requirements can take part, subject to the activity's supervision rules. An appropriate adult must provide the required supervision for anyone under 18.
