Airkix Basingstoke (2012/13)
A photo record of the construction of a new leisure facility - Airkix. A coup for the town given that at present there are only two others in the UK - Milton Keynes & Manchester.
Looks like a great innovation, it may well be far cheaper than going up in an aeroplane but I wonder how many local folk will baulk at the starting price of £30! Fun does not come cheap these days.
UPDATE Oct 2014: a family fun ticket with 10 'flights' comes in at a cool £160!
UPDATE Sept 2016: rebranded as iFly.
UPDATE April 2017: NO CHANGE in iFly Family Flight - £160!
UPDATE August 2021: Group flights - £174.99 (rebranded Family Flight)
UPDATE February 2025: Many more packages on offer these days. The 'Ultimate VIP Exclusive' or 'Gold Package' comes in at a cool £799.99. You did get some food and party room, 13 people, 26 flights. The first-time flyger deal is infact cheaper than the opening price was in in 2013 (£30) now 2 flights for £49.99.
