Still, I have to admit, The Big Rush was hands down one of the craziest things I’ve ever done. I’ve been skydiving, zip-lining, cliff jumping, volcano boarding, and I’ve even raced dune buggies through the desert. If you want to really experience what it’s like to take the leap, don’t miss the video below! Conclusion:
Okay so the photos really don’t do it justice. I’m three inches from the platform and I’m already starting to scream at the top of my lungs. I didn’t have much time to think about the jump, nor did I want it. Thank god we did those “mock jumps” earlier or I would have been screwed! The staffs instructions were mumbled as the wind was blowing and it was extremely hard to understand what they were saying. I’m 350 feet in the air looking over the entire stadium thinking… “Is this for real? What? Huh? I can’t hear you… Walking out on to the launch platform was something else. I didn’t come all the way up for here nothing, I’m here to find out what this swing is all about! It was time for us to choose who was going to jump first before anyone could answer, I immediately raised my hand and waved it around like a child. Three hundred and fifty stairs later, we had arrived at the launch point. Experiencing The RushĪfter taking in the view from inside Moses Mabhida Stadium, it was time for us to start our ascent to the top of the arch. The arch above the stadium is home to both the Big Rush Adrenaline Swing and the Sky Car. Now a days, the stadium is used for both local soccer and cricket matches as well as concerts and other major live events. In case you didn’t know, this stadium was built solely for the FIFA World Cup games that were hosted here in South Africa back in 2010. We all know that practice makes perfect, but is it really necessary that we jump off this two foot stage? The Practice Run – 3…2…1… JUMP! Moses Mabhida StadiumĪfter two mock jumps, we head on outside and get our first look at the absolutely astonishing Moses Mabhida Stadium. Nobody wants their valuables spread across the Stadium, so lock them up! Next, it’s time to slip in your harness. Once you sign your life away, it’s time to empty out those pockets of yours.
#Swing it round like a helicopter free
The initial drop is an insanity-laced 196 ft free fall before swinging across the World Cup Stadium field in a 721-foot arc! Let’s Get Suited Up! If that wasn’t enough to excite you adrenaline junkies out there, then how about this cool fact. It’s also the Guinness Book of World Records Tallest Swing in the World at a staggering 347 ft!
The Big Rush Urban Adrenaline Swing is not only the world’s only stadium swing. We were here at Moses Mabhida Stadium to take the leap and experience the ride of our lives on the BIG RUSH! What is the Big Rush?
#Swing it round like a helicopter driver
Our driver was making all sorts of lefts and rights but as soon as we started to get closer to Moses Mabhida Stadium, I had a weird feeling that we might be doing something extreme. How could they possibly top our first surprise? I mean, seriously, a helicopter tour over Cape Town. We knew that South Africa Tourism had something awesome up their sleeves for us before we said our goodbye to South Africa, but we really weren’t sure what our last surprise would be. We had just one more stop to make before heading back to the Oyster Box Hotel. It was our last day in South Africa and we had just left the Victoria Street Market with bags of newly purchased goods in hand.
