It opened in Easter 2009, on the site of an old flooded quarry and offers five rides: The Aquapark, The Zip, The Giant Swing, Axe throwing and Karting . As an area of special scientific interest,[1] the attraction concentrates on low-carbon gravity rides which have minimal or zero impact on the local environment. It has been featured in a number of British newspapers, including The Sunday Times[2] and The Guardian[3]  as a top attraction to visit in Cornwall.Origins & History[edit]Clicker Trikes 1986-89Quad Centre 1989-92KartworldHoverworld 2009 – 2010Adrenalin Quarry 2009 – CurrentAdrenalin Quarry was formerly known as Clicker Tor Quarry. (It’s still called that locally.) Worked for Blue Elvin rock from 1932 to 1969, it was an important business providing much-needed employment and a boost to South-East Cornwall’s local economy. After the closure the quarry grew derelict and was flooded to a depth of 22m, until in 1986, Clicker Trikes, now Kartworld, opened its doors to the public. In January, 2009, under the guidance of current owner, Will Sneyd, the first posts went in at the western end of the lake to build the launch platform for Adrenalin Quarry’s first ride – The Zip. Adrenalin Quarry opened in Easter 2009 and has added new rides and facilities each year since then. In Easter 2018 the Aqua Park opened, a large ‘total wipeout’ style inflatable assault course on the lake of the flooded quarry, taking the total amount of activities at the attraction up to 5.Ride NameDate openedStatsNotesThe Zip2009490m long, 50m high, top speed 40\u00a0mphTwin wires, youngest jumper 2 years, oldest 93Giant Swing201260m high over water, making it UK’s tallest swing.Built on the cliff-top, chair release at near 90\u00b0 to the verticalKarting2009800m all weather trackArrive and Drive, Adult, Youth and JuniorAxe Throwing45mins of organised mayhem.Throw axes under expert supervisionAqua Park2018Large inflatable assault course on the lakeMonkey bars, swings, slides, trampolines and more…References[edit]https:\/\/www.beachretreats.co.uk\/explore\/best-places-for-kids\/adrenalin-quarry\/http:\/\/www.wedmagazine.co.uk\/wedding-at-adrenalin-quarry.htmlhttps:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/travel\/2016\/jul\/15\/take-the-kids-zipwires-adrenaline-quarry-cornwallhttps:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/travel\/uk\/trail-of-the-unexpected-adrenalin-quarry-2178930.htmlhttps:\/\/www.cornwalllive.com\/whats-on\/family-kids\/total-wipeout-style-water-park-1429638Dodd, Rachael (7 April 2018). “Total Wipeout-style water park opens in Cornwall”.
