ADVENTURE provider We Are Vertigo is expanding its award-winning Titanic Quarter facility with plans to open a 25,000 sq ft inflatable action course.

The expansion, which will create 25 jobs, represents a further £500,000 investment in the company’s leisure portfolio and builds on the success of its first bounce arena, which opened in Newtownbreda in January.

The addition of the new indoor inflatable action course, expected to open in the autumn, will expand the leisure offering at the Titanic Quarter site, which currently includes a Ninja Master course and indoor skydiving.

The 90,000 sq ft facility already benefitted in part from a million-pound investment across the provider’s two Belfast sites earlier this year, when it opened its doors to Ireland’s first indoor Ninja Warrior course.

Managing director Gareth Murphy said: “'Playscapism' is a huge trend at the moment for adults and children alike, and adventure play is really at the forefront of this.

“We are constantly reviewing our offering to make sure both our sites are as relevant as possible to families across Ireland.

“The success of Newtownbreda’s Bounce Arena has given us the confidence to invest further in our Titanic Quarter site.

“We are proud of our world-class facilities and we want to encourage as many people as possible to avail of what’s on their doorstep as well as bolster the region's tourism offer by constantly innovating and pushing the boundaries of leisure experiences.”
