Get ready to share the excitement of the Fforest Coaster at Zip World Betws-y-Coed! Set among the beautiful forests of North Wales, this year-round alpine-style coaster combines spectacular woodland scenery with an exhilarating ride packed with twists and turns. This voucher is valid for a shared sledge, allowing one driver and one young passenger to experience the Fforest Coaster together. The driver must be at least nine years old and one metre tall, while the passenger must be aged between three and eight years. Once you’re both safely strapped into the sledge, you’ll be mechanically towed approximately 300 metres uphill along the track. Sit back and enjoy the peaceful journey through the trees before reaching the start of the main descent. Then it’s time for the excitement to begin! Release the brakes and set off along the 700-metre downhill track, racing through the forest as you tackle a series of thrilling twists, turns and bends together. The driver is in control of the speed throughout the ride. Simply push the controls forward to speed up and pull them back to slow down, allowing you to tackle the course at a pace that suits you both. Sitting just inches above the rails makes every twist and turn feel even more exhilarating. Best of all, you will get up to three rides on the Fforest Coaster, giving you plenty of opportunities to enjoy the thrills together. Perfect for sharing an exciting adventure with a young passenger, this shared sledge voucher offers a fun-filled way to experience the Fforest Coaster amid the beautiful woodland surroundings of Zip World Betws-y-Coed.
