BLUEWATER ADDS GIANT SWING TO LIST OF DAREDEVIL ATTRACTIONS

Thrillseekers will drop 46 metres between the chalk cliffs of Kent shopping centre

If you thought battling for the last Olaf at Build A Bear Workshop or trying to get an outdoor table at Pizza Express were the only activities that'd get your heart racing at Kent's Bluewater shopping centre, you're in for a mighty surprise. The sprawling city of consumerism launches its new Giant Swing today [Aug 3], and it'll send you from the clifftops plummeting deep into the quarry, hanging perilously from a rope.

If the term 'Giant Swing' isn't descriptive enough, we'll help paint a picture for you: It's a swing, but it's absolutely bloody massive. In fact, it's big enough to hold FIVE people at a time, but small enough that you can still be deafened by the screams of your fellow riders. You'll be strapped to a metal bar, which is all that stands between you and a very rapidly approaching floor.

It's brought to you by the folk at Hangloose, who are also behind other madcap ideas including zip wires and a Skydive Aerodium in the land surrounding Bluewater - and they offer the chance to try all three for £110.

By our reckoning, you could sneak off and work your way through them all while your other half is trying on those trainers...
