Zero Gravity Featured in USA Today!

About.com already knows that visiting Zero Gravity is one of the most fun things to do in Dallas.  And now USAToday.com does too!  USAToday.com recently featured Zero Gravity in their travel section, offering a nice overview of our park, plus plenty of bungee jumping specifics.  Some highlights:

Zero Gravity’s seven-story Air Boingo tower is designed specifically for bungee jumping…Once ready, take in the view of nearby downtown Dallas before taking the plunge.

That’s right.  Only the best for our faithful jumpers.

Zero Gravity enlists three safety measures to keep people jumping without incident.

It’s true.  Your safety is important to us.

If bungee jumping isn’t enough to satiate a visitor’s hunger for thrills, the park features four additional rides, each geared toward the extreme rides enthusiast.

Texas Giant Closed for Renovations

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

If you haven’t heard the news, or seen the construction yourself, you might be disappointed to learn that popular Dallas attraction, the Texas Giant, is still closed for renovations.  And it will remain closed until 2011, when it will reopen at Six Flags following $10 million worth of repairs.

The new-and-improved Texas Giant will feature a top speed of 65 mph, plus the steepest drop in the world at 79 degrees and the steepest bank of any wooden roller coaster at 95 degrees.  Add in the smoothness of the new track, and the Giant should be fun again. In recent years, as other roller coasters improved, the Giant seemed a rough and lumbering relic.

Of course, 2011 is still a long way off, so until then, swing by Zero Gravity. Our Texas Blastoff ride goes zero to 70 in just 1.2 seconds (5 mph faster than the Giant.  Just saying.)  And we’re still offering our Four Ride Thrillseeker Combo, giving you one of the most fun things to do in Dallas, all at a really great price.

Wizarding World of Harry Potter Opens in Orlando

Monday, June 28th, 2010

It’s no secret that Zero Gravity Thrill Amusement Park is one of the most fun things to do in Dallas, but what if you’re in Orlando?  Sure, there are the tried-and-true Disney World, SeaWorld and Universal Studios, but the newest park to the mix is the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, now open.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is located at the Islands of Adventure theme park, part of the Universal Orlando resort.  The 20-acre island offers guests a chance to visit Hogwarts castle and Hogsmeade village, among other popular spots from the best-selling series.

Rides and attractions include Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, which takes guests through scenes inspired by the books and movies; Dragon Challenge, which is two intertwining high-speed roller coasters; and Flight of the Hippogriff.

Sounds like a good time.  And regardless of whether you make it to Orlando this summer, we’re happy to entertain you with our own thrilling rides, like Bungee Jumping, Texas Blastoff and Nothin’ But Net.
