The Weightless Experience – Zero G, Las Vegas
Defying the rules of gravity has always been fascinating and am sure many of us would love to experience this feeling.
The Zero G in Las Vegas offers you this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience true weightlessness. It’s a must see for those interested in adventure tourism and space.
- On a specially modified Boeing 727, parabolic arcs are performed to create a weightless environment allowing you to float, flip and soar as if you were in space.
- The experience includes 12-15 parabolas, your own flight suit, a Regravitation Celebration, certificate of weightless completion, photos and video of your unique experience.
Riding the Ice -Lak
e Placid, New York
Lake Placid is not an unknown destination for adventure seekers. In 1980 the world’s attention was focused to Lake Placid when it hosted the Winter Olympics. The venue has played host to “Miracle on Ice” when the 1980 U.S. Hockey team pulled off one of the biggest sports upsets in history by defeating the Soviet Union.
- During the months of July and August the public is invited to come inside for an evening of ice skating on one of the Olympic Center’s four ice surfaces.
- The daring ones can choose Bobsled Ride with a professional driver and brakeman down the state-of-the-art competition track at the Olympic Sports Complex, custom-built for a safe, comfortable, exhilarating ride of a lifetime.
Biking down the volcano – Maui, Hawaii, United States
The experience involves 28 miles of biking down Haleakala Crater, an extinct volcano. After sunrise on the extinct volcano, hop on your bike and descend from approximately 10,000 feet.You can bike down the Haleakala Crater with professional Maui tour guides.
Whilst trailing down the crater the view is extremely picturesque ranging from the views of West Maui Mountains to Maui’s small upcountry communities of Makawao, Hailiimaile and Paia.
Biking down a dormant volcano measuring 10,000 feet above sea level, now that’s real thrill.
Do let us know about your experience at any of these extreme destinations or of any other extreme sports that you would like to know about.
