Perhaps one of the highlights of the Adrenalin Extreme offering is the Accelerator. This is a high impact activity similar to bungee jumping. The adventurer is strapped into a safety harness and attached to two bungee cords. The cords are fixed to the top of two long poles, like a giant catapult. To strain the cords, the person is driven away from the cords on the back of a quad bike. When reaching a final position, the person is then released. The result is a safe yet exciting catapulting action between the poles.

 

The Drift Trikes are three wheeled go-kart like trikes powered by a small engine. Smooth PVC lining on the back wheels ensure a fast, heart-stopping driftingexperience. Tyre boundaries will smoothly stop the driver in case of an over-steer, and the vehicle design will ensure that it does not capsize. A ride on a Drift Trike at Sun City is a safe experience that comes with a healthy dose of adrenaline.

 
On the Hovercrafts, thrill seekers navigate a fast track that allows them to experience the hovercraftโ€™s unique driving characteristics. Proper instruction before driving and soft barriers at strategic positions ensures a safe yet highly exciting and adrenaline filled experience.ย On the 4×4 Quad Circuit, fun seekers get to drive a quad bike on their own through a set course of 4×4 type challenges. The challenges are similar to those offered at 4×4 events or demonstrations and include the Twister, Tyre Mountain and a See-Saw challenge amongst others.
