What is The Abyss @ Magna?  

Located at the award-winning Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham, a £46 million Millennium project, The Abyss has created a unique experience for thrill seekers. Set in semi darkness complete with music, video screens, dry ice and effect lighting, these three exhilarating activities utilise the breathtaking facilities and structures of this former steel works, providing a truly dramatic backdrop for the ultimate in adrenalin experiences. 

The Triple Whammy Experience Consists of the following activities 

Zip Wire - Starting from the steps of an old overhead crane capable of lifting 100 tonnes and standing at 70ft in height, the Zip Wire stretches out 250ft down the length of The Abyss @ Magna, you’ll find yourself flying over old steel melting pots from a bygone era of this former steel works, while spectators watch you the whole way from a parallel walkway.

Abseil - Climbing the steps in Magna’s 150ft Face of Steel Building can be a daunting challenge in itself, however once at our purpose built abseil platform our qualified instructor will put you at ease and explain the principles involved before setting you on your way (* Note – this is a free abseil meaning that you abseil into free air and not down the side of a wall)

The Drop - Step off a platform in the 150ft Face of Steel and experience free-fall. This is a unique adrenaline experience, with you fully kitted in a safety harness and attached to a thin safety chord you will plummet to the ground, slowing only at the last second, so you step safely onto the ground.

"a disorientating attack on the senses” was how one national newspaper described The Abyss @ Magna. If you think you’ve done it all, rock climbing, rope courses, adventure parks, sky dives and normal bungee jumps well you now you need to experience The Abyss @ Magna. A totally unique venue and an experience that cannot be replicated anywhere in the world, one not to be missed.
