Inside the Globe: Shadforth’s 570‑metre Mountain Run.

Participants share a 3 m inflatable globe that holds about 40 litres of water; the result is a wet, physical, high‑adrenaline experience that emphasizes momentum, timing and balance.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
World’s longest globeriding track
The Mountain Run stretches 570 metres and features five corners, giving riders a sustained, fast descent unlike shorter, single‑bend attractions.
Inside a 3 m, 40 L water globe
Riders sit inside a custom inflatable globe roughly 3 metres across partially filled with about 40 litres of water, which creates the slipping, sliding dynamics that define the attraction.
High‑adrenaline, wet and physical
This is built for thrill seekers: expect high speed, significant wetness and the need for teamwork, timing and balance as riders share the globe’s momentum down the course.
What the day feels like
What the descent feels like
From the first shove to the final splash, the Mountain Run is a continuous shove of motion — a 570‑metre slip that threads five corners while you and a partner ride inside a 3 m inflatable globe partially filled with water. The globe’s momentum dictates the ride: racers lean, brace and time their moves together to stay balanced as speed builds and water sloshes inside. You will get wet; the attraction is explicitly designed as a physical, adrenaline‑fuelled experience.
