What is bungee jumping?
This is an extreme attraction common in many countries. In Russia it is called "bungee". He has been working in Sochi for five years. The participant is tied to a rubber long rope, and the daredevil makes a jump, enjoying the seconds of free fall.
Fear of heights is an instinctive feeling that is instilled in a person from early childhood, like a feeling of disgust for snakes, for example. Nevertheless, it is necessary to distinguish between phobias and the normal reaction of the body to an unusual height. A bungee jump in Sochi will allow you to check what your body is capable of. For many visitors, it’s difficult to even cross the suspension bridge.
A visit to the park costs 1250 rubles (for an adult), 600 rubles (for children). The ticket price includes a visit to the park and a walk along the bridge 439 meters long, soaring at an altitude of 200 meters above the Mzymta river. You will have to pay extra for bungee jumping in Sochi.
Location
In the picturesque gorge of the Mzymta River, located in the national park in Sochi, near the resort of Krasnaya Polyana, there is Sky Park. It is located in a relict forest, in which amazing and rare plants grow.
History of creation
Sky Park was opened in July 2014. There are only six such objects in the world. In addition to our country, such parks are in China and Australia, Macau and France, in Singapore. The idea of its creation, as well as copyright belong to the young traveler and businessman from Sochi Dmitry Fedin.
He thought about creating such a complex back in 2001, after visiting New Zealand, where he first jumped from a bungee. Dmitry managed to invite a company from New Zealand to Russia, led by extreme and traveler Alan Hackett. He implemented similar projects to Russia in Germany and Australia, Singapore and France, and in China. He began to create such parks in 1986.
By upgrading the elastic rope for jumping, AJ was the first to open commercial sites and demonstrate his safety to the world. After the launch of such attractions on the sites under the brand name of the company AJ Hackett, more than three and a half million bungee jumps were carried out. In Sochi, the creation of an adventure park was supervised by AJ Hackett himself.
Suspension Bridge (Skybridge)
The main object of the amusement park is a bridge with a length of 439 meters. An application has already been sent for inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world. Everyone who visits this park in Sochi can take a walk along it and enjoy the picturesque mountain scenery. At the same time, jumping from a bungee is not necessary, if you are not ready for it yet.
Built specifically for Sky Park, the suspension bridge is located in a picturesque gorge. It was built according to the design of New Zealand and Russian architects. Design and research lasted three years. The bridge was built in two years. To create it, it took more than two thousand cubic meters of concrete and 740 tons of metal structures. He is able to withstand more than three thousand people at a time. You can admire nature from two viewing platforms located on the bridge.
Skybridge is safe and reliable. The developed project takes into account all possible dangers, its construction was carried out in compliance with all standards. The bridge, stretching over a deep gorge along the road to Rosa Khutor, can withstand huge loads up to a 9-magnitude earthquake. In the middle of Skybridge is a jumping platform, which is securely closed from wind and rain.
Sky Park Rides: Bungee 207
The most extreme bungee jump in Sochi. From 207 meters, daredevils themselves jump into the abyss. The fall smoothly brakes the rubber elastic rope. After that, literally in two or three minutes, the participant of the attraction is raised to the bridge. The bungee jump in Sochi Park lasts only five minutes. Significantly more time is taken by the preparation of a participant for it. At the highest bungee, only people over 10 years old are allowed to jump. For minors, the presence of parents or guardians is required.
It also provides additional services - photo and video, which will capture you during the jump.
Bungee 69
The second highest attraction. Of course, it’s great to be at the bottom of the gorge when jumping from a 207 bungee. But the jump from this bungee in Sochi makes it possible to fool around a bit, jump, for example, with your back, do a somersault or perform some other trick.
Swing Sochi Swing
You can jump from a bungee anywhere in our planet. In Sochi, you have a unique opportunity to swing on an unusual swing. Their height is 170 meters and they are rightfully considered the highest in the world. There is no need to push off with your own feet, unlike the bungee 207 and 69. When you are fixed in the suspension system, the instructor will send you on a flight. This is one of the most popular attractions. Its advantage is the ability to fly together.
Rope jump
This is the newest attraction of Sky Park in Sochi. A bungee jump after him seems like an innocent childish prank. Those who wish to make the jump are fixed with a very thin rope. Comparing it with the powerful bungee rubber ropes in Sochi, it becomes really scary. The length of the rope is 50 meters; it sways along the trajectory of the pendulum, and not vertically. Despite the guaranteed safety of the attraction, many visitors admit that deciding to jump is scary, but those who dare are delighted. The jump is carried out independently. For this you need to kick off the platform of the bridge.
Megatroll
Not all visitors decide to jump from a bungee in Sochi. Some people prefer to ride the Megatroll alone, two, or three. You fly over a cable over the gorge (without free fall). The speed reaches 150 km / h! Nevertheless, this attraction is considered one of the easiest psychologically in the amusement park.
Skyjump
This new attraction was opened by one of the founding fathers of Sky Park - AJ Hackett. It was created on the same principle as the SochiSwing swing, but with a smaller "shoulder" of the pendulum (50 meters versus 170), so the flight does not seem so extreme, though only at first glance. Here, too, have to take a step into the abyss yourself.
Zipline
Not only an exciting attraction, but also a useful service: with it, you will return after a walk along the bridge to the opposite side of the Akhshtyr Gorge. A span of 600 meters will brighten up two more people.
Mowgli
A magnificent rope park for adults, returning to childhood from the architects of Sky Park. This is perhaps the only entertainment in the park that does not scare even those who are very afraid of heights. Mowgli carefully thought out the security system. The insurance, which is fixed at the beginning of the trip, will remain buttoned at the end. It offers seven levels of difficulty for adults and young visitors, all of which are in any physical form.
Zipline
Another new attraction in the Sky Park. This is a descent under the influence of gravity along a steel rope. During a flight of 700 meters, a speed of up to 70 km / h develops.
