What It's Like To Ride The World's Fastest Zip Line!

ZipWorld Velocity 2 in Wales catapults you down over an old slate mine at over 100mph! It is the longest in Europe and the zip line fastest in the world!

Here is what it's like to go down it, from the journey up to the top to the disembark at the end. A birds-eye view. It's absolutely incredible. It is definitely even higher and quicker than it looks here when you do it in person!

It is located in an old Slate Mine, Penrhyn Quarry. Bethesda, Snowdonia, Wales, United Kingdom. Zip World, Bangor, Gwynedd LL57 4YG, United Kingdom.

As featured on Top Gear. Zipline Wales. Speeds can be over 100mph.

Hi there. Thank you all for watching our video. To help out, all the details are in the video description. The zipline is located in Wales at a place called ZipWorld. All the official speed and length stats are on their website. While our little video gives you an idea of what it may be like, to actually *feel* the rush, the wind, the adrenaline and see the height is another level. You must try it to truly experience how quick it really is. Trust me, you will scream doing it too! Have fun!

I am more amazed by the engineering behind the lifting platform than the zipline itself. able to crank up one arm like that

I'm 59 now, and went on this about 3 years ago. I did it because I'm really scared of heights. If anything it all felt a lot tamer than I had imagined, but was still awesome. The feeling of having stopped over the water was the most terrifying thing about it: the fear of being stuck up there for ages while they rescue you. At 500 feet above the water your forward motion is almost undetectable apart from the roaring wind.

I did the same zipline in December in Wales it was nothing short of phenomenal!! it's Europe's longest zipline

I have been on this zip wire before and it was alot if fun. However a piece of advice to anyone planning to do it, it's probably quite difficult but try to do it on a day when it's not raining because at the speed you travel the rain basically slams into your face and it hurts alot which I learned the hard way. But it was good fun

This video gives me chills in a good way (because it's satisfying), especially at 0:35 when the ground suddenly becomes farther away, and the zip line is still flying.

One moment you will feel like a superhero flying down a mountain, the next moment you hang there helpless at the ending, in need of someone to untie you :P

I did this 2 summers ago on a lovely clear sunny day, highly recommended .

[chriscuthbertson]

Did this last week, absolutely fantastic experience. Highly recommended

[calumskelly]

I've done it, it's absolutely amazing, and because they run you through a smaller, practise zip line, you're not even scared you're just buzzing to get down. I would 100% recommend

Best ride ever ! Flying high like an eagle free as a bird. Pumped full of adrenalin from just watching this video. Super awesome video thanks for sharing this wild ride loved it ❤from New Zealand XOX

I always love how fast it looks close the the ground then looks so slow over the water.

I’ve been on this zip wire ride. It was my 67th birthday present to myself. I can thoroughly recommend the ride and would do it again in a heart beat.

[miketravis]

My daughter and her boyfriend did this and they came to a halt close to the end due to the wind and had to be winched in but they loved it.

[nightmaresarereal]

I've done this a few times as I live in wales. It's more than a rush it's actually not that frightening it's more your body's filled with adrenaline! They have a few different rips.. cave zips and you can race a mate or family on a 4 zips! Highly recommend this to anyway that seeks thrills 😁

[davidconnell]

Did this two years ago ( remember when we could go out?) with my grandson. It was fantastic an absolutely amazing experience.

I LOVE the noises you made as you rode it - sounds like you're having the time of your life.

The whole time I would be thinking did I turn the stove off
