High ropes Course Add-on elements
We also offer numerous add-on elements and extensions so that you can further increase the utilisation of your High Ropes Course. Many course elements can also be operated as single attractions. Therefore they can be billed separately and thus represent an additional source of income. Popular High Ropes Course elements are e.g. a giant swing, an abseiling station, a zip line and many more to create an exciting adventure park. However, the use of the Ropes Course can also be extended by an additional event platform or a floodlight system, thus attracting more visitors.
KIDS’ COURSE ELEMENTS
One of the most frequently used ropes course add-on element is the kids’ course, which is installed below the first level. Our kids’ course is integrated in 90% of all our Ropes Courses, as the target group can be increased even more. The challenge course for kids is equipped with the safety system KOALA POULIZ, a pass-through belay system, that simplifies handling for children and attendants. The belay system prevents unintentional unhooking and thus ensures additional safety. Therefore, kids can use the course without supervision.
event platform
The event platform is suitable for a variety of uses ranging from a lookout point for visitors to a rest station for climbing guests and at the same time serves as a roof. It can be integrated at the second, third or even fourth level, depending on the type of the High Ropes Course. A KT-18 Ropes Course can even be equipped with another observation deck. Furthermore, it reveals its full potential as a venue for events. It offers an adventurous location and moreover is sure to bring in additional revenue.
climbing column kt-18
This add-on element is an internally positioned climbing tower, which offers a 190 m² climbing surface at a very small footprint. The height of 12,7 m and the hexagonal shape allows the design of various climbing routes in all levels of difficulty. The tower is also customizable according to your preferences regarding colors and materials. The climbing tower is an exclusively designed element for our Signature Model with 3 levels and can also be installed at already existing KT-18 High Ropes Courses.
Giant swing
The giant swing is one of the most popular add-on elements of the KristallTurm® High Ropes Course. It is the absolute screech factor for guests of all ages. An electric cable winch pulls the swing up to an angle of 50 degrees. Once it reaches the highest point, the guests unhook themselves and off they go! The giant swing can be used by around 40 visitors per hour.
pano swing
The Pano Swing allows swinging in lofty heights including spectacular views without having the ground directly under the feet. Only brave people get the extra kick and view! The Pano Swing is like an extra climbing element, but it is attached to the side of the base structure, not within it, which is why no additional space is needed.
tube slide
The tube slide is an add-on element, which is not only suitable for climbers but for all visitors as no belay system is needed. This stainless steel tube slide is used with a sliding bag, provided at the entrance. Depending on the version, the user slides down the spiral in complete darkness or in a transparent tube. Due to the bag, even the climbers with their safety equipment are able to slide down the tube. About 60 visitors can use the tube slide per hour.
DIAGONAL AND VERTICAL CONNECTING ELEMENTS
In addition to stairs, the KristallTurm® High Ropes Course offers the possibility of connecting the climbing levels with special elements. This creates further climbing experiences and makes the ascent even more exciting. There are vertical and diagonal variants to choose from with an additional choice of different elements such as a rope ladder, a net ladder and many more. The connecting elements can be attached anywhere on the side where no stairs or other add ons have yet been fitted.
abseiling station
With this add-on element, visitors plunge into the depths and experience the feeling of a genuine free fall. A braking system, integrated into the abseiling equipment, slows down the fall in time. The guest is lowered to the ground safely in a controlled manner. Truly a thrill and a special attraction for large and small visitors alike! The system requires very little maintenance. Above all, it is suitable for children and adults and supports a high throughput. Therefore, up to 30 visitors can use the abseiling station per hour.
climbing panel
The climbing panels are attached to the outer poles of the High Ropes Course and can reach up to the third level (about 14m). Visitors can climb in safety with an automatic belay and with no need for a partner or special equipment. With a carabiner hooked to the harness, guests climb as far as their strength allows. No additional personnel is required to operate the climbing wall. The panels can be designed in different colors. There are three different versions: Straight, with overhang or chimney.
Walk the plank
Walk the plank is a challenging element for courageous climbers with a lot of balance. The climbers balance on a small steel beam that leads away from the climbing tower. At the end of the beam, a bell is placed, which the climber can ring once he has reached the furthest end. Walk the plank is like an extra climbing element, but it is attached to the side of the base structure, not within it. As it does not occupy any extra space on the ground, it is very popular with our clients.
wheelchair course
By integrating a wheelchair course even wheelchair drivers can participate in the Ropes Course adventure. Wheelchair elements can be fitted into the kids’ course level or into one of the upper climbing levels, as a pass-through belay system is used. Elements are intentionally chosen to even challenge experienced wheelchair drivers.
zip line
The zip line is an exciting add-on element for the KristallTurm® High Ropes Course and can be planned in various ways according to local conditions. For example, a route from the tower directly to the ground or from the tower to a transfer pole and from there to the ground is possible. With the third version, guests “fly” from the tower to a transfer pole and from there back to the tower. The routes lengths as well as the start and end points are designed according to the terrain. The zip line is especially well suited as an exciting way to descend from the KristallTurm® High Ropes Course.
ENTERTAINEMENT systems
The integration of a floodlighting system enables operators to extend their opening hours and special offers such as “Climbing under the
Stars” or “After Work Climbing”. Extended opening hours mean a higher income for you. In addition, the installation of a sound system allows you to entertain your guests with music while they are climbing. The weatherproof loudspeakers are mounted on the poles of the system and provide an excellent sound experience throughout the entire High Ropes Course.
