Groups can now book their space at the new adventure at Quayside, MediaCityUK in Manchester, which offers a series of challenges based on the ITV show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
The attraction will take campmates into the heart of the jungle to navigate a series of physical challenges inspired by the television show, including rock climbing and other adrenaline-fuelled activities.
Featuring Main Camp, the Throne and Winners Bridge, the experience is said to put campmates’ nerve and agility to the test as they race against the clock in a bid to collect stars and be crowned king or queen of the jungle.
Other challenges on offer include The Ascent, an 8.1-metre vertical rock climb, a treetop trail, scramble nets, balance beams, a zipline, plus a Jungle Run and Get a Grip leap of faith.
Organisers have promised that no jungle critters will feature in the experience along with the laughs of Ant and Dec, but visitors can take on Kiosk Kev and a multiple-choice Dingo Dollar Challenge – a task which has been made popular through the original television series.
The attraction will also feature a ceiling-mounted Spyrider; a high-speed track which will whiz above the jungle canopy in around 18 seconds.
James Penfold, controller of partnerships for ITV Global Entertainment, said: “I’m a Celebrity… Jungle Challenge is a one of a kind, multi-sensory adrenaline adventure, bringing together the heart and soul of the hugely celebrated series, and ITV’s expertise in curating fantastic, memorable live brand experiences for guests and families across the world.”
Stephen Wild, managing director of MediaCityUK, added: “The arrival of this incredible attraction will bring a real sense of excitement and fun for all the family to MediaCityUK.
“ITV is already an important part of our community with the presence of the iconic Coronation Street studios and the ‘I’m a Celebrity… Jungle Challenge’ brings the ITV experience even closer to the public in a unique immersive way.”
Groups of all sizes can visit the attraction, with staggered entry available for larger bookings. More information is available at www.imacelebrityjunglechallenge.co.uk.
