PREPARATIONS are well underway for the launch of a major new attraction in Rhyl, as Zip World’s “Skyflyer” was inflated in the town today (July 27).

The airship, to be located along the beachfront, will be open from Wednesday, August 3, after its launch was postponed from July 21 due to the wind and weather conditions not being ideal to perform the first full inflation.

Visitors will be elevated 400ft in the air to take in the panoramic views of the North Wales coast and beyond.

The attraction is to be accessible to all, including wheelchair users, and features other support equipment for those with disabilities.
