"The Zip Wild idea sounds fantastic. I have now been to three different Go Ape sites in England... I plan on doing the rest too, when I get round to it. I was planning on Eberfoyle this summer, as I like the idea of the two massive Zip lines, however, after hearing about Zip Wild, I think I might just change my plans and head over to Wales. I can't wait for it to open. The sooner the better, I'm planning my holiday/go ape jaunt in about 4 weeks!!!"

"the people who are in support of this venture dont seem to realise that , yes it is a most beautiful place to come and visit because it has solitude and peace and quite you cannot hang glide up there with permission.
now this MONEY MAKING company wants to destroy this and turn it into a play ground for would be modern day tarzans. this is a place for people to walk and walk in peace so please just leave this place alone.
try somewhere else like a multi storey block of flats,
but of course then you couldnt ruin the environment
could you

"I would like to applaud the efforts of the Foestry commision and Go Ape to get people into our forest areas. They are beutiful and should be enjoyed by all..
The Zip Wild concept looks fantastic and i would definatley visit if a park opened. I have recenty completed the Go Ape course at Aberfoyle and the Zip Lines were the highlight.
Having said all this, the rapid expansion of Go Ape into more and more of our unspoilt forest is a concern. I question how important the proposed venue is to the sucess of the park. Would the Zip Wild concept still be as popular/profitable if it were in an urban landscape or in an already developed forest landscape."

"Hi Go Ape, the ideas for ZIP WILD sound absolutely brilliant. Having just completed Buxton, my first course and learned to trust the harness encouraged by my son, I want to do more. I love the idea about just zip wiring to appreciate the surroudings however will they be designed for/succum to speed or allow you you to have the time to look around you? I would also like to see more parks in the UK so you have choice in the same area and down towards Cornwall .

"I'd be one of the first to come and have a go! What a brilliant and innovative idea! I've recently been on one of your Go Ape courses and loved it! would definitely have a go at this and I look forward to see how this concept works out!"

"I sympathise that as a business you wish to expand, and that this would indeed create jobs in the area...but I fail to see why exactly you have chosen this specific spot? It is outstanding in every respect, and draws enough tourism and business on its own merits without the addition of Go Ape. Please please reconsider your application and look elsewhere, I've been walking on Moel Famau since I was tiny and I hope to bring my children to it one day...in the same condition in which is stands.
I could cite numerous examples of businesses which attempt to do what you are doing and fail - for the simple reason that if you don't have local support out of 'tourism season' you don't have a business.
Please Please reconsider another site for your park.

"This is a dreadful idea. Loads of us here on Merseyside like to visit this lovely beautiful area and go walking and enjoy the peace and quiet. If people really want to go whizzing down wires at high speeds (which I admit does look like good fun) then surely they could go to one of the existing places that does it. There are after all plenty of them about. People come to visit the moel Famau range because they like it as it is. Don't let them spoil it!"

"What a fantastic idea! cant wait to see this being built and going underway, about time someone did something worth while with the area! crack on!!! "

"This is a really bad idea and a great way to ruin a wonderful area of masive natural beaty and significance...there are too few aeras left in the UK that match Moel Fammau for its splendour.......why industrialise it with this theme park! What a short sighted idea.as someone earlier in this forum said why not invest in the local kids with meaningful activities and ventures that will be in synergy with the environment...its unbelieveable what the commercial world will inflict on us in the pursuit of profit and wealth................."
