Zero Gravity Named One of the Top Family Activities in Dallas

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Zero Gravity was named one of the best family things to do in Dallas by Travels.com.  Our park is ranked right up there with the Dallas Aquarium, Nature and Science Museum and the Dallas Zoo, so we feel honored to be listed among such popular attractions.

Not everyone thinks of thrill rides as fun for the whole family, but we always do our best to ensure that everyone, young and old, feels welcome and has a great time. And our commitment to safety ensures that everyone enjoys themselves in a safe environment.

It’s true; just check out this video of a young kid bungee jumping at our park.

Get Visual Evidence of Your Zero Gravity Adventure

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

For some people, it’s not enough to simply bungee jump or free fall 130 feet into an awaiting net. They want visual proof–whether as assurance for themselves or their friends–showing them in action as they conquer the most extreme rides in the country.

For a mere $12 we’ll provide a DVD of your adventures at Zero Gravity, which is consistently ranked as one of the top Dallas attractions.  So take solace knowing that–when your legs are shaking on top of the bungee platform–at least you’ll have visual proof of your bravery to show your doubting friends.

Just think, a visit to Zero Gravity could leave you with a brand new addition to your DVD collection.  Except this time, you’re the star of the show and screaming like a little girl is not only acceptable, but encouraged.

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

Bungee Jump with Zero Gravity at the San Diego County Fair

Monday, June 14th, 2010

In addition to all the fun things to do in Dallas here at Zero Gravity, for the next few weeks we’ve also got the west coast covered. We are operating a 130 foot bungee jump at the San Diego County Fair through July 5th, and any faithful fans who visit us in San Diego can jump for half the price!  So if you’re in the area, or are interested in more moderate temperatures this summer, stop by the San Diego County Fair to say hello.  Simply say “go jump” to our staff to receive your discount.

The jump will be manned by our expertly-trained Dallas staff, who also supports our presence at other major events like the Texas State Fair and Calgary Stampede.

The 2010 San Diego County Fair opened June 11 and runs through Monday, July 5. The fair will be closed on three Mondays — June 14, 21 and 28.  Admission gates open at 11:00 a.m. on weekdays, and at 10:00 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and Monday, July 5.  Gates close at 10:00 p.m. on weeknights and at 11:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

We’d love to see you in San Diego, but if you can’t make it, come jump with us here in Dallas and take advantage of our online-only Four Ride Thrillseeker Combo package.

Jump Off the Stratosphere in Las Vegas

Friday, June 11th, 2010

If you’ve ever wanted to hurl yourself off an 830 foot building, you’re in luck.  The Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel & Casino launched the New Zealand-designed “SkyJump” in April 2010, allowing visitors to jump from a platform overlooking the Vegas strip.

This is not bungee jumping, but a controlled descent while attached to guide wires that run from the platform to the ground.  Riders reach speeds of about 40 mph before the contraption slows you down 20 feet above the landing platform.  The whole thing takes about 15 seconds, and it costs $100.

If you can’t make it out to Vegas, don’t have $100 or value your life too much to jump from 850 feet, we’ll let you jump off our bungee platform here in Dallas for a fraction of the cost.  It’s one of the most fun things to do in Dallas, and unlike a trip to the Stratosphere, you won’t walk away with gambling debts.

Check out the below video for some info and action shots.
