So actually I could have gone! 
I went to it with a loads of people I do Krav Maga with.
It was quite a lot of fun (teh zip lines were awesome) and can be a right laugh with a group.
(We did much about a bit, but not excessively, bouncing the lines and so on while someone was on the line infront/behind).
I went to the one in Bracknell.

I almost did the one near Farnham. It was a corporate jolly and spent most of the time waiting around. Finally got to our groups turn and we were having the safery briefing when there was a huge clap of thunder and everyone had to come in.
Speaking to friends who were in groups ahead of me, they said what they did was very good but there was loads of waiting round at the start of each "activity". In almost 3 hours of waiting, not one of our grop of 60 ish completed the course.

Great fun, i did the one in Sherwood Forrest. If your of ample build, like myself, you get to wear a special reinforced harness that all your mates can rip the pee out of too.
It was pleasantly surprising that you are left to look after your own safety, no H&S nannying. The one where you have to jump off a really high platform into thin air nearly did for my nerves though.

yeah i've done it - it's a good laugh. try to go when it's a bit quieter because it can be a bit frustrating waiting for gimps who take 20 mins to cross a footbridge (never mind some of the harder crossings)...
agreed, It is frustrating waiting for the gimps.It's also a massive hoot to try and run across a rope bridge, tightrope or other wibbly wibbly crossing between trees then falling off spectacularly and be left dangling by your safety rope trying to haul yourself back up!
A mates grilfriends younger sister rented out an entire one of these jobbies for her birthday a few years back. We crashed it after drinking thinking it'd be a good idea. I chipped a tooth had a black eye the next day & numerous friction burns and other cuts & bruises. Top fun & would do it again.

I did one year before last on a stag do, somewhere near the new forest I think.
Bloody excellent fun!
Verwood near Ringwood just off A31 - I don't do heights, but this I found to be great..the slight pressure of following mates and having people coming up behind you all wa ting ot get on, means you have no time to think about what you're about to do you just enjoy it...Bloody excellent fun!
good clean wholesome fun.
I've been to the Thetford one twice for other peoples birthdays, 2nd time is better as you know what to expect and can really throw yourself into it as you know the safety equipment is good.
Good info given by the staff at the beginning, don't wear tracksuit bottoms if you're a fella and have a problem with everyone knowing how small your penis is - I wore jeans on both occasions so my penis size was safe in my own knowledge - the harness cuts in quite hard down there.
Great fun, well recommended.
