The Sky Trail® Explorer is our flagship multi-level high ropes course, designed for attractions that want to create a landmark adventure experience with maximum visual impact and capacity.
Available in configurations of up to five levels, Explorer combines challenging aerial elements with a continuous safety system, making it ideal for operators looking to increase dwell time, admissions and repeat visits while making the best use of available space.
One of Explorer`s biggest strengths is its ability to grow alongside your business. The modular construction of Explorer allows construction in many different configurations. This could be in double, triple or quad level formats and would incorporate a diverse range of challenging elements installed between platforms. The diagonal activity elements on Explorer are the longest in the Sky Trail family at 10m. The capacity of Explorer courses can be expanded further after installation with additional poles or extra levels, to a maximum of five. A perfect example of a course that has been expanded is Universe Science Park in Denmark, who added a complete 3rd level in 2022, and in 2026 had a further expansion with the addition of a Sky Tour Zip experience creating the first of its kind in Europe.
Below are the Sky Trail Explorer specifications for standard course sizes, however, certain layouts offer more elements than listed and a higher capacity:
Explorer has been developed for larger attractions where guest numbers, visual impact and long-term flexibility are key. Whether installed indoors or outdoors, multi-level configurations create a landmark attraction that encourages progression, repeat visits and family participation.
Sky Tykes courses are scaled down versions of the main course just a metre off the ground and are aimed at 2-7 year-olds. Combining the Sky Trail Explorer ropes course with Sky Tykes allows the whole family to share a ropes course experience together. The perfect example of this can be seen at Tees Barrage White Water Centre where the Sky Tykes course sits alongside the four-level Sky Trail Explorer standing seventeen metres high and also features Sky Rail.
Innovative Leisure works with you every step of the way from the initial point of contact through to the opening of your ropes course and beyond. We are happy to visit your potential site to assess the best way of designing a ropes course to meet your specific requirements. The next step is to produce design drawings to give you a visual of your chosen design, colour scheme and theming options. We also assist you with the specification and design of the concrete foundations where required. We have a highly trained and experienced high ropes installation team. Installation times vary depending on the course size but smaller Sky Trail courses can be built in less than five days keeping disruption on site to a minimum. With installation completed the Sky Trail course will be subjected to a safety inspection (within the UK) with documentation and design review supplied. The final step is training your staff which is included as a standard part of every Sky Trail ropes course installation. All harnesses, safety lines and emergency take-down kit are also supplied with your Sky Trail High Ropes Course.

Phil and his team rose to a remarkable technical challenge in fitting a four level system into a high footfall atrium inside a shopping mall. The course touches the building envelope on one side and has barely 50mm spare on the other. Add to this, the fact that the space was kept open to the public and mall management every day throughout the enabling and installation works, and the feat is incredible. The High Ropes course provided by Innovative Leisure is a fantastic centrepiece for our first Quest Family Entertainment Centre. Our guests’ response has been amazing. They simply love it. The response from passers-by has been a very simple and unequivocal…WOW! Innovative Leisure and the manufacturing team at RCI headquarters have been a joy to work with and incredibly patient as we had to work through many custom designs before arriving at a solution that met the physical, operational and commercial demands of our own development brief.
