The fast-growing leisure and entertainment company has today announced that it has received planning approval to construct a £2M e-karting experience at Xscape Yorkshire.
Xscape Yorkshire is Gravity’s first UK site which opened in 2015 as a trampoline park and has since added Gravity Aerial Adventures, a sky coaster that suspends riders 70 feet from the ground; Free Fall, an invigorating free-falling experience; the Leap of Faith and Gravity Rocks, a climbing wall for both children and adults.
The new construction has Japanese themed decoration to create an immersive experience, and launches Gravity’s second GT e-karting track, following the success of its first e-karting track located at Gravity Southside, Wandsworth, opened in August 2021. Designed by racing experts, it offers high powered karts on a multi layered track that includes the latest safety features and ability to deactivate the karts remotely and control top speeds at the flick of a switch. Further to this the site will offer F&B, karaoke and have its own Electric Gamebox, the UK immersive smart room for groups to interact.
Gravity also intends to do a full refurbishment of the Trampoline park in Xscape Yorkshire in 2022 which will make it the most up to date trampoline park in the country.
Harvey Jenkinson, Co-Founder and CEO at Gravity, commented: “Xscape Yorkshire has always been a special location for us, and we are delighted to be launching our unique e-karting offering here in our home site. We aim to be at the forefront of leisure offerings in the UK and can’t wait to introduce more people to Gravity GT e-karting. We are at a pivotal moment in our development and are excited to see what the future has in store.”
