Sorry, this activity is now closed for applications.
Join us to take a ride on the Helix, the world’s longest and tallest slide, which you will loop around 12 times and reach speeds of up to 15mph! The slide is located on the iconic ArcelorMittal Orbit sculpture, constructed as a lasting legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford. This is a fantastic opportunity to participate in a group activity with like-minded peers in a safe and supportive environment.
After our exhilarating trip down the Helix, we will head over to Riverside East for some music and street food.
A minimum height of 1.3 metres is required for this adventure and a maximum weight of 130kg to take part.
Trainers or boots are required (crocs, wellies or high heels are not permitted).
The Helix is a physical activity where it is likely that you will be required to stand for a prolonged period.
