Paradrome

Paradrome is a unique paragliding simulator. It is extremely effective at producing a realistic experience for the user, by having an interactive design that allows you to move as if you were actually Paragliding. The features of the simulator include: a seat, a harness and two pulleys. Once strapped in, you can function the para-glider by simply pulling on the two pulleys (right and left). The movement of the wings is affected by how fast and how much you pull them, e.g. for a sharp turn, pull long and fast. 

You will be given a set course to complete, which will needed to be done within at least 5 minutes. The environment/setting around you will be volcanic, where you will need to weave in and out of the lava crevasses to reach the top of the volcano (as demonstrated in the video clip below). Depending on how fast you complete the course, you will be rewarded either with a Gold, Silver or Bronze medal (gold being fastest, bronze being slowest).

I believe Paradrome is appropriate for any age group. However, I feel it is more appropriate for people above the age of 16, who have a particular interest in extreme sports or specifically paragliding. I personally find that it would be very good for training purposes and also for those who are scared/wary of the heights involved. If the simulation were to be improved (although not needed), it could include wind factors with a blower to simulate the affect.
