PEOPLE anticipating the opening of a new trampoline park in Basingstoke are able to get a sneak peek thanks to virtual reality.

Taking up residency in Festival Place, staff from Flip Out Basingstoke are giving shoppers the chance to don a virtual reality headset and take a walk around the new leisure attraction to see all the arena’s facilities before it opens to the public later this year.

Visitors to the pop-up stall can explore the 25,000 sq ft attraction and check out features like the laser maze, 30ft cyber towers, 25ft super slides and even the exciting new NinjaTAG assault course.

Jon Inwards, CEO of Flip Out UK, said: “The actual trampoline park is currently being assembled, but we’re inviting the public to come along and get a sneak peek inside via the medium of virtual reality.

“It’s also a great opportunity to meet some of the team who will be looking after the park when it opens and grab some Flip Out freebies from them.”

As well as this preview, children are being asked to get involved with creating a villain for the park, with the winning image being transformed into a life-sized artwork to go on display at the new attraction.

The winner of the competition will also get a free session at the trampoline park for their class at school as well as a £200 donation.

Flip Out Basingstoke’s free virtual reality previews will be available at Porchester Square within Festival Place shopping centre, until Thursday, 9 November.
