The Terrace "bubble between buildings"



















 




Midlands Park "Don't look its a bubble"


No one looking


Still no one looking 







HUGE bubble








Someone came to talk to us



Zorbing, Sphering, Orbing, Globe-riding.


Huge Zorb style slides

Artificial Waves

Reverse inflation of the bubble in Cuba st








Super Slides



Dam spillways are used to release water in case of a flood, but sometimes these spillways are also used as a slide for kayakers and even bikes. This is the case with Europe's largest dam spillway which is part of the LIyn Brianne dam in Wales.


This concrete monster the size of a main road plunges more than 330 meters to the valley below. It makes one of those terrifying Olympic ski jumps look like a speed bump

what a ride that would be, a zorb down there would be fun too!



The most impressive and biggest concrete spillway in the world however is the slipway which is part of Fort Peck Lake dam in Montana in the U.S. The dam itself is the largest earth-filled dam in the world. The spillway is 1500 meters long and 150 meters wide








Steward Street Slides in San Francisco, wish we had some of these in wellington!!
