Sochi is perhaps the most popular resort city among Russian tourists. Vacationers come here, of course, mainly for the sake of the sea. However, Sochi offers its guests, of course, not only a beach holiday and the opportunity to improve health. There is a lot of modern entertainment in this southern city. For example, tourists can visit the recently opened themed Sochi Park. Here, among other things, you can ride on the grand attraction "Quantum Leap". Sochi-Park is visited by many vacationers precisely for the sake of this extreme slide.
Description of the complex, the history of its creation
Previously, every vacationer considered it his duty during a vacation in Sochi at least once to go to the famous "Arboretum". Today, many new ones, including Sochi Park, have been added to the list of must-see sights of this resort. This huge complex opened in June 2014. The world-famous American Disneyland was used as the basis for the development of the park project. However, this complex was built in a typical Russian national style.
In addition to the attractions themselves, the park also has a comfortable four-star hotel, built in the form of a fairytale castle. Also in this recreation center there are such original zones as “Magic Forest” and “Land of the Knights”.
Engineers of the American company Jack Rouse Associates were engaged in designing a new Sochi amusement park . Specialists of the Swiss company Maxmakers Ltd. were chosen as consultants in the development of the project. The tender for the general contractor was won by the Turkish company Summa.
Attraction "Quantum Leap" ("Sochi Park"): when it opened
Of course, not all the attractions available in the complex began to operate immediately at the time of its opening. Some were installed later. The Quantum Leap is one of such entertainments. This huge structure began to work in the park on October 10, 2015. The Quantum Leap ride was created by VEKOMA RIDES based on a roller coaster.
general description
At the moment in the world there are only six copies of such extreme attractions. The closest analogue to the Sochi high-speed design "Quantum Leap" is located in Shanghai. Four more similar tapes operate in different cities of the USA.
The “Quantum Leap” attraction (Sochi Park) is a huge metal slide with rails along which trolleys move. Visitors who decide to ride on this modern miracle of technology, first go up 60 meters in limbo, and then at a tremendous speed (100 km / h) go down.
This construction is truly grandiose - "Quantum Leap" ("Sochi Park"). The photos presented on the page confirm this fact in full. This huge slide weighs almost 875 tons. At the same time, the length of its route is 360 meters. The attraction for the simultaneous riding of 32 passengers is calculated. Before the start of each season, the slide undergoes a thorough scheduled inspection. VEKOMA RIDES specialists inspect its elements . They consider the Sochi attraction one of the most complex in design of slides of this type in the world.
Opinion of visitors
The Quantum Leap (Sochi Park) attraction from the tourists was simply excellent. According to most vacationers, visitors to the complex who decided to have fun on these slides are guaranteed a lot of positive emotions and a sea of adrenaline. Many admit that riding the Quantum Leap ride is really scary. However, at the same time, most visitors to the park recognize the fact that the slide is made really very reliable. When riding, the passengers of the wagons do not hear a metal clang, as in old Soviet attractions, they do not feel any vibration or reeling of structures.
As many guests of Sochi note, after the Quantum Leap, most of the other attractions of the complex seem to be nothing more than children's entertainment.
