North Wales' Bounce Below Proves Trampolines Scarier Underground

Deep inside a North Wales cave a raucous trampoline party is taking place.

CNN's Namrata Bhawnani reports from pretty much the last place you would think to find a bunch of kids laughing and jumping on giant trampolines. The reporter dove right into the madness at Bounce Below and Zip World Titan, both of which take fun to various heights and depths.

BBC News covered the crazy cave party back in July with this video:

GeoBeats News has a bit more on the cavernous amusement park:

It's essentially what we would imagine a young Bruce Wayne would have ordered for birthday parties.

As Bhawnani found, the trampolines take more courage than you would suspect. She was immediately astounded by the confines of the attraction taking up space in the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, near Blaenau Ffestiniog: "Soon I find myself in a cavern twice the size of London's St. Paul's Cathedral."

The CNN reporter continues, "A member of the friendly staff leads me by hand to the center. That's when I look down. The terror is paralyzing but there's no time to think about it."

The horror that comes with looking beneath the net makes a lot of sense, especially when you consider the highest trampoline is 180 feet above the ground.

This is all a nice contrast to the wonder above, which features, "Europe's first multiple zip line." When you are done bouncing and sliding all around a dark cave, you can zip around in the air, racing up to three friends.

All of this excitement will cost you more than courage. Bhawnani reports Bounce Below will run you $32 while the zip-line adventure is $80.
