Home to the world’s most extreme zipline and an electrifying obstacle course for kids, Live Wire Park offers thrilling experiences for adrenaline junkies big and small.
Located less than one kilometre from Lorne’s main beach and nestled among the towering Otway treetops, the adventure park offers a unique day out for families.
You’ll feel like you are flying as you’re strapped into the paragliding harness on the Shockwave Zip Coaster – one of just four zip coasters in the world.
Stretching 525 metres and boasting twists and turns charged by the sheer force of gravity, it is the second longest and most extreme zip coaster in the world.
Park Director Luke Nisbet says the ride is a real thrill for kids as their lighter weight means they go a bit slower around the picturesque zipline.
“There are a few twists and turns where you get a bit of a thrill, and there are parts where you get to take nature in,” he said.
Children must be at least 135cm tall and 30kg (roughly 10 years of age) to go on the Shockwave Zip Coaster, which is able to carry people up to 120kg.
Thrill seekers will also love the Super Circuit, which challenges even the most seasoned high ropes lovers.
Featuring 53 mid-air trails, suspended bridges, tree-scaling activities, an electrifying Tarzan swing and a supercharged 10-metre QuickJump bungee, the Super Circuit is designed to test endurance, agility and problem-solving skills.
The Super Circuit, which has the same weight restrictions as the Shockwave Zip Coaster, spans over an incredible 1.2 hectares.
The Short Circuit is aimed at smaller rope climbers (aged 6+) and features 26 hair-raising activities for kids to overcome and finish with a sense of achievement.
Live Wire Park also features climbing walls, slacklines and cubby houses, ensuring hours of endless fun for kids.
The Canopy Circuit is the perfect place to soak up the view of the park and the electrifying activities. Elevated 10 metres above the ground and among the native Blue Gums, the Canopy Circuit is also the perfect way to experience the breathtaking views of the Otway Ranges.
Live Wire Park – which celebrated its first birthday on March 1 – is also the first completely off-grid elevated adventure park in Australia.
The park is powered by solar, and all water on site is collected, used and treated to reduce waste and optimise the use of natural resources.
Live Wire Park is located at 180 Erskine Falls Road, Lorne and is open daily from 8.45am-5pm (excluding Christmas Day).
