ZIP World has issued a winding up petition on the company which made its “Skyflyer” attraction which it had planned to bring to Rhyl’s seafront.

Lindstrand Technologies Ltd, based in Oswestry, will face a High Court hearing in London on November 29 at 10.30am, after Zip World lodged the petition on October 12.

The opening of the Skyflyer airship was cancelled for good last month, after a number of setbacks were experienced in getting the blimp up and running.

Per Companies House, Zip World still has outstanding charges owed to it by Lindstrand Technologies.

Zip World’s Skyflyer won't be coming to Rhyl after new setback

Located on Rhyl’s seafront, Skyflyer aimed to take passengers 400ft in the air to enjoy panoramic views of the coast of North Wales and beyond.

The £2.5million project involved a 32-metre inflated balloon that took 6,750 cubic metres of high-grade helium to inflate.

A Zip World statement following its cancellation read: “Following a fault with Skyflyer last month, which caused the aerostat to deflate, we have now safely removed the aerostat from the site in Rhyl.

“Our primary aim has always been to work alongside the manufacturer to get Skyflyer operational, and we’re hugely disappointed the latest incident has resulted in us coming to the conclusion that this is not possible.

“Sadly, we’ve taken the decision to stop any, and all, further development of the Skyflyer experience.

“We understand that many in the local community will be disappointed with this updated, and we share their frustration.

“At present, we are in the preliminary stages with Denbighshire Leisure of exploring other alternative options for the Rhyl site.

“All customers with Skyflyer bookings or vouchers will be contacted directly by our adventure booking team.”

Blake Morgan LLP is the firm which will be representing Zip World at the High Court hearing.

Attempts have been made to contact Lindstrand Technologies for further comment.

Zip World and Blake Morgan LLP declined to comment.
