Aintree is more used to horses jumping at its world-famous racecourse but Flip Out, the UK trampoline park operator, has selected the Merseyside location for its next new park.

Flip Out

Opening this summer, the attraction is due to cost £2m and will take up 46,000sq.ft.

As well as the standard offering of trampolines, there will be an 85ft climbing wall, a wipeout zone, a laser maze, battle beams, cyber towers and a free-running area.

Complementing these will be a café, and four party rooms.

Elsewhere, the company also plans to open the doors on a £1.5m branch in Doncaster in a matter of months.

Utilising a town centre site of a former department store, the 30,000sq.ft facility will be split over different levels.
