The track, powered entirely by gravity, can reach speeds of up to 30mph.
Participants are suspended in the air by a harness as they descend 35m down to ground level, taking in views of formerly the world’s largest slate quarry.
It also features two spiral turns as riders descend to ground level, which takes three to five minutes.
