Adrenaline attraction venture Zip World will launch its first giant blimp adventure next month. Its Rhyl-based Skyflyer balloon will take passengers 400 feet in the air to enjoy panoramic views over the coast of North Wales and beyond.
The £2.5m project has created an initial 11 full time jobs, while supporting hospitality jobs through Zip World’s partners Denbighshire Leisure who operate Rhyl Pavilion and 1891 restaurant opposite the Skyflyer site.
Zip World anticipates it attracting 50,000 visitors for the remainder of 2023 and then rising significantly to more than 100,000 annually thereafter.
