Sphere Mania

One of my friend´s teenagers were over recently and, on the lookout for something new to try, they spent a brilliant day at Sphere Mania in Marbella.
Sphereing – the lastest craze to hit the coast

If you fancy rolling down a hill at speeds of up to 30mph in a sphere ball, then Sphere Mania is well worth a visit. Situated at La Quinta Driving Range, next to the golf club, Sphere Mania opened in mid-April, and has enjoyed fantastic success since the first day.
To enjoy sphereing you need to be daring, adventurous and very slightly mad! You may have tried paragliding, bungee jumping or even white water rafting but this is the newest, craziest adrenalin rush you are likely to experience.

Josh and Lewis were harnessed in to the sphere ball, facing each other, with a safe distance between them. The ball was then sent hurtling 200 metres down the hill, giving them the ride of their lives. After nearly giving me a heart attack - and that was just watching– they emerged from the ball giggling hysterically.
The ultimate sphereing experience, and another option to harness sphereing, is the amazing aqua sphereing, which sees one or two people plus 30 litres of water tumble down the hill in what can only be described as an ´in the washing machine´ experience. Passengers slide around inside the ball as it hurtles downhill, and judging from the shrieks of laughter when they emerge, it´s a crazy experience.
Amazingly, there is no dizzy feeling after riding the sphere, more a feeling of ´what the hell was that´. It is very much a rough and tumble ride, but we found that it was just as much fun watching our friends descend the hill, as it was taking part. Not for the faint-hearted but a great day out for the kids! €30 per head and birthday parties can be arranged.
