Urban Air indoor park slides in exclusive new attraction in Fort Worth
An indoor theme park chain is debuting a new attraction, premiering here in Fort Worth: Urban Air Adventure Park, the adventure park and entertainment venue based in Bedford, is introducing massive slides, and they'll first debut them at two area locations — Southlake at 2201 W. Southlake Blvd., and in north Fort Worth at 9157 Harmon Rd.
According to a release, the slides are a new offering for fall that will debut in August.
The designs are kid-friendly and include:
- The Surf: similar to a half pipe, minus the skateboards
- Scoop: a spiral slide
- Racer: a multi-lane slide
- Launch: a slide focused on speed
- Tube: a closed slide
They design them with flexible modular heights so they can be added to locations easily and quickly.
Urban Air Adventure Park was founded as a trampoline park by Michael O. Browning Jr. who opened the first location in his hometown Southlake in 2011. Indoor playgrounds have since emerged as an increasingly popular trend.
In addition to trampolines, Urban Air also has a ropes course, climbing walls, a "sky rider" zip that lets you soar high above the floor, laser tag, dodgeball, electric go-karting, bumper cars with laser lights, and an obstacle course in which you test your skills on uneven platforms, hanging rings, and tilted walls.
They're part of a company called Unleashed Brands which also owns siblings such as The Little Gym,, and Sylvan Learning. They began franchising Urban Air in 2014.
Following Fort Worth and Southlake, the slides will be introduced at 30 other of their locations across the U.S. Where those other 30 locations are, they cannot say, as they are working on finalizing the locations. And yet they know there are 30! Also no word if any of those 30 locations will be at the 17 locations currently open across Dallas-Fort Worth. But all new parks will add these slides as an option.
"With this rollout, we're enhancing our next-level entertainment to create unforgettable moments for our guests," Urban Air Brand President Jeff Palla says in a release.
