What does the Phoenix experience include?
Containing two incredible zip lines, Phoenix is a record-breaker, being the fastest seated zip line in the world, and Zip World’s steepest. You’ll travel at speeds up to 70 mph and with four lines situated side by side, can race friends and family to be the fastest, making it a great choice for stag and hen dos, or even corporate trips.
The first zip line takes you down Rhigos mountain, across the Llyn Fawr reservoir, offering stunning views of the Cynon Valley and enjoying the very fastest speeds, racing in to the landing point as you fly above the trees. The second line returns you back to Tower Colliery and the Zip World site, spanning over 1.5 kilometres in total.
You’ll return to earth just outside the Cegin Glo Bar and Bistro, serving delicious, locally sourced food and drink to top off your adventurous day out.
