Get ready for a white-knuckle ride with the Zip World Quarry Karts Experience for Four at Llechwedd Slate Quarry in North Wales! As the UK’s first mountain karting experience, this adrenaline-fuelled adventure sees all four of you racing down a thrilling three-kilometre course from the top of the slate mountain. This voucher is valid for four people, making it perfect for families or groups of friends looking to share a fast-paced adventure. You will each take control of a specially designed quarry kart featuring a low-to-the-ground tricycle design and chunky off-road tyres built to tackle the loose slate terrain. There are no engines or pedals to worry about. Simply use the handlebars to steer and the brakes to control your speed as gravity sends you racing downhill at speeds of up to 25 mph. With twisting corners and rugged terrain along the way, use your bodyweight to tackle the bends and even try drifting your kart for an extra adrenaline rush. Before setting off, you will each be equipped with a full-face helmet and given everything you need to safely tackle the course. You and your karts will then be transported to the top of the mountain, ready to begin your exhilarating descent. Best of all, you will each get two runs, giving all four of you another chance to master the course, tackle the corners and experience the thrill all over again. Suitable for participants aged 15 and over, this Quarry Karts voucher for four people is a fantastic choice for thrill-seeking families or groups of friends looking for an action-packed mountain adventure at Zip World Llechwedd.
