Why we made this?

Based on 20 years of experience in the wind tunnel industry, we wanted to contribute to the attraction world by creating something unique, accessible and  tons of fun for everyone.
People used to think that they know what wind is. But do they? The trick with wind is that at a certain speed it feels and acts completely differently.
We'll bring your guests to the point where fun starts and provide a safe environment for them to play and explore the wind independently.
