Fun things on the Gold Coast!

>> Rock climbing, skirmish, huge PVC ball and more...

Zorb

Picture yourself in a Zorb! A BIG, fat, bouncy, 3½ metre PVC ball. You jump inside it, it rolls, and so do you!

There are two different ways to Zorb: one involves getting wet and one doesn't. Simple! The water in the hydro Zorbs makes the surface slippery, so you slide rather than rotate with the Zorb. The harness experience is designed as a more extreme ride, where you rotate in the Zorb every 11 metres.

Hydro Wet Zorbing – 1, 2 or 3 riders are loose together within the Zorb and 40 litres of water is added so you SLIDE at the bottom while the Zorb rotates around you... (Ideal for all riders and ages from 3 years and up)

Dry Harness Zorbing – 1 rider is strapped into a comfortable padded harness for the ride of their life and can choose either the down speed track or the slalom track. In a 'dry' ride, you rotate with the Zorb while strapped inside the Zorb.

Wet Harness Zorbing – The most challenging and adrenalin-packed ride, where 1 rider is strapped inside the Zorb before water is added. A wild ride with 40 litres of water rushing past you as you rotate through the water flying down a hill! (Definitely for thrill seekers and not for the faint hearted)

Skirmish H.Q. Gold Coast

Get your friends together and have a paintball adventure!

Imagine yourself in live battlefield action, dressed in camouflage, seeking out the opposition. Armed with a gas powered paintball gun, your mission is to capture the opposition's flag and return to base.

Skirmish is played with two equal teams in a lightly wooded area, dotted with villages, bunkers, dams and bridges - plus real army vehicles.

When you are hit, the thin skin of the gelatin capsule splits, leaving a colourful mark on your clothing. But the action's not over then. You must move back 30 paces, then it's game on!

Paramount Indoor and Outdoor Rock Climbing

Climbing is a fantastic way to have fun and keep fit and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Reach new heights on a variety of climbs and test your flexibility and strength.

The simulated rock face of the tower gives climbers the opportunity to experience a realistic surface in a safe, enjoyable environment. Get your heart pounding and challenge yourself to conquer 'the crack', 'the flake', barrels and overhangs.

Climbing courses are available for beginners.

Paramount Adventure Centre regularly organises outdoor climbing and abseiling trips for those who would like the challenge of tackling a natural rock face. Climbs are available for all levels of climbers and all gear is supplied.

Trips are taken to Minto Crag, a private property located one and a half hours from the Gold Coast, and to Kangaroo Point on the river in Brisbane. Each site offers different conditions and challenges. Abseiling and night climbs can also be arranged.
