Skyrider at Woodys Farm
A bespoke zipcoaster aerial attraction in Ware, Hertfordshire, UK
Woodys Play Barn was one of our earliest zipcoaster installations.
In late May 2018, ZipZag Rides completed the installation and commissioning of a bespoke zipcoaster aerial attraction, marketed on site as Skyrider, at Woody’s Play Barn, Westmill Farm, Ware (Hertfordshire, UK).
The layout is an outdoor zipcoaster course that threads through trees and sweeps above the venue’s crazy terrain mini golf and pond, creating a smooth, gravity powered flight experience that’s family friendly and visually spectacular for spectators!
The Zipcoaster integrates seamlessly with Woody’s wider offers, such as soft play, mini golf and go karts, adding an impactful headline attraction that can be enjoyed by all.
The results at Woody's Farm
The Skyrider has become a genuine centrepiece at Woody’s Farm. The experience keeps visitors coming back to try new lines and master the ride, while its integration into the natural woodland setting gives the attraction a striking visual presence that draws the eye from across the park. Positioned in clear view of other attractions, it’s proven to be a powerful draw for footfall, pulling visitors toward other concepts on site and lifting sales across the venue. For the operator, it has raised the overall profile of the business, generating repeat interest and a steady stream of enquiries, all without adding pressure to staffing or floor plans.
What the venue says
“Every time you get a different experience, and that’s what I really like. You can hit the bend and twist; next time you can flip out to one side. For those that really love it and want to come back they learn to fly it.
We’ve managed to get ours to fit perfectly within a natural opening in the landscape, within the trees. People ring up to ask when it’s open, they want to come back. It’s just really good. People playing crazy golf really get to see it, and we make sales from that – and that works really very very well.
It’s been an absolute great boost for this business. It attracts people in a way that is exactly how I intended it to! It’s bringing attention to the rest of the concepts i’ve got here, and it’s brought more people into the soft play and created much more awareness for us, so the general public just want to experience it. They love it, and i’m very pleased with it.”
