With the onset of 2012 and the holding of the International Olympic Games, the city of Sochi was changed beyond recognition. The full-scale construction of roads, all kinds of sports facilities and structures, hotel complexes, entertainment infrastructure was carried out in record time. Skypark is one of the newest tourist sites, which opened in 2014.
Not so long ago, in the 1920s, two New Zealanders A.J. Hackett and his friend Chris Sigglcoe surprised people with their crazy hobby, jumping from high bridges using rubber ropes. The heads of the New Zealanders, who were really keen on ideas, approached their hobby deliberately, they wanted to jump, but they did not want to fall at all.
At their request, scientists developed a special rubber rope, with the help of which it became possible to predict a jump, taking into account the weight of the jumper. Thanks to this unusual hobby of New Zealanders, over time, extreme parks for bungee jumping have appeared in Australia, Germany, France, China and Singapore. During the entire time of work in the parks, the founder of which was A.J. Hackett, there were no accidents.
Skypark Sochi, description
And since 2014, now in Russia there is an opportunity to visit a high-rise extreme park in Sochi. During its construction, three records were broken.
- The longest suspended pedestrian bridge in the world. Its length is 439 meters.
- The highest swing in the world (170 meters).
- The highest bungee in Europe (207 meters).
For extreme sportsmen who want to start small, you can jump from a height of 69 meters. For those who want to look at others, get their adrenaline rush, just being next to the jumpers, admire the beauty of the Akhshtyrka gorge from a height, you can just walk along the bridge.
People from all over our country and from all over the world travel to Skypark, where unique architecture, unearthly grandeur of nature, outdoor activities and a breathtaking sight are amazingly combined.
During the construction and design of the facility, huge efforts and funds were invested, helicopters were involved in transporting and installing the structures of the bridge, and construction sometimes proceeded directly from them, since no other option was technically provided. But the result of the construction was truly stunning. This new tourist attraction in Sochi will not leave anyone indifferent!
