In Russia there are many interesting and beautiful cities that are constantly visited by tourists. And not only by our compatriots, but also by guests from abroad. And one of the most popular places to visit is Sochi. This resort city is rich in attractions. Some of them are unique. Take, for example, extreme park. Sochi is known to them all over the world. And there is an explanation for this.
Reason for popularity
The first thing people come to Sochi extreme park for is the suspension pedestrian bridge, which is the longest in the whole world. It is called Skybridge. In tune with the name of Skypark itself, by the way. It is intended for bungee jumping. This is one of the most common extreme rides in the whole world. Or, as they call it in Russia - "bungee". Surely bungee jumping is familiar to everyone - a person is tied to a long rope made of thick rubber, after which he jumps down into a free fall. Inexpressible sensations. Especially in skypark. After all, the height of the notorious bridge is 207 meters.
And the phase of falling from such a height lasts about 7 seconds. And the speed to which a person “accelerates” at this moment exceeds the mark of 120 km / h!
The length of the bridge, by the way, is 439 meters. Is he safe? Quite! After all, it holds metal cables in the amount of eight pieces. And the breaking strength of each of them is 360 tons. And the total weight of the structure itself is only 120 tons. The security issue is of concern to everyone, and this is logical, but there is nothing to worry about - after all, Skybridge is designed so that even a 9-magnitude earthquake can withstand it.
Location
Extreme Park (Sochi) is not in the city itself. It is located between Krasnaya Polyana and Adler - one of the resort areas. If you want to get there, you need to keep the path to the Akhshtyrsky Gorge. Previously, it was known simply as part of the Akhtsu mountain range, cut through the Sochi Mzymta River. But in 2014, Skypark was opened here - now the popular Extreme Park. Sochi after that quickly became an object of attraction for connoisseurs of "adrenaline" entertainment.
Thrill Guaranteed
Sky-Park is an extreme park in Sochi, which is known not only for its pedestrian bridge. Here you can devote yourself to other entertainment.
For example, freestyle bungee from a height of 69 meters. The platform designed for this was designed taking into account various various jumps that extreme people can bring to life. It is also suitable for performing stunts on BMX bikes. Even people with disabilities can have fun here. Including people in wheelchairs.
Another Sky-Park (extreme park in Sochi) is known for the attraction called Sochi Wing. Literally, this is the Sochi Swing. How everything happens: a person sits in a chair, after which the mechanism releases him into free fall. Together with the chair, he flies in the opposite direction - along a tangent to a circle, on the principle of a pendulum. The radius, by the way, is impressive - 170 meters. Sochi Wing is the highest swing in the world.
But the most extreme is Mega Troll. The fastest troll in the world! Its principle is as follows: several people (2-3) sit in a special carriage. After which they fly on it 700 meters through the gorge, and all this - at a speed of 120 km / h! Extreme, but safe - people are insured with a super-reliable system that has been tested for decades.
Mowgli Rope Park
If the guests of the amusement park are afraid of heights, then they can still warm up. It was for them that the Mowgli rope park was created with an interesting obstacle course and fascinating routes. Which, by the way, is currently expanding. It is for this reason that the Mowgli has been closed since December 1, but this is only for the time being.
The park is located in the shade of a protected forest. There, it’s not scary, despite the obstacles - all because each obstacle is planned in the most thorough way. In addition, “Mowgli” was tested by professionals, and checks are performed here daily. In addition, the security system is well thought out. A person strapped in at the very beginning of the route will be insured until the very end.
For lovers of mountaineering
The above listed activities are not everything that Extreme Park located in Sochi can boast. A pedestrian bridge, rope paths, an adrenaline swing - this is all exciting, but the unique Sky route is worthy of no less attention. It is laid over a long section, the type of which in mountaineering is called via ferrata. A fairly common term. They designate a rocky area equipped with a safety cable. Everyone can feel like a climber, and at the same time be confident in their safety!
A route leads to a cave of extraordinary beauty, which is located in the rocky wall of the Akhshtyr Gorge - on the left side of Mzymta. The route is divided into two parts. On the "simple" (where the surface is almost horizontal) and "difficult" - there people will have to climb almost a vertical wall. But the steps are thought out there, so there will not be too many difficulties.
Tariffs and fares
So, above were listed all the entertainment that Sky-Park can currently offer tourists. Extreme Park in Sochi prices are rather big, but justified. If you want to jump from a height of 69 m, you will have to pay 6,000 p. "Flight" from 207 meters will cost 12 tons. In this case, a person will be awarded a certificate with information about the height from which he jumped, as well as a thematic T-shirt, similar to which is not on sale.
This is not all you need to know about Sochi Extreme Park. The price may be more profitable if a person reserves the so-called “Combo”. This is just a few entertainments that a tourist can devote all day. Jumping from a height of 69 and 207 meters will cost him 17,000 rubles. Which is pretty profitable.
And if you want to jump from a height of 69 meters, and experience the “Sochi Swing” - it will cost only 10,000 p. Given that this “Combo” is available for two, the savings are two times more enjoyable.
And jumping from a 207-meter height with a swing will cost 17,500 p. However, the most popular "Combo" includes just three of the above attractions. The cost of such pleasure is 20,000 p.
How to get to the park? There are no travel difficulties, it is enough to either take bus number 105 or number 105-C. You need to get to the Amshensky courtyard, where you transfer the 131st minibus. And further - to Skypark. Then about 300 meters on foot.
And finally - about the reviews. People who have been here assure that you should definitely come here and have fun. Yes, a little expensive, but the experience is worth it. Tourists note with attention the beautiful view from the bridge and the adrenaline rushing through the roof, which everyone gets here without exception. And the rides, plus everything, are interesting, exciting.
