How The Mountain Run Became the World's Biggest Hydro-Orb Adventure in Western Australia

For ages 6 - 65 • 1-2 People per ride

At Denmark Thrills Adventure Park in Shadforth, Western Australia, The Mountain Run stakes a bold claim: the world's longest globeriding track. Riders climb into a three-metre transparent orb filled with forty litres of water and hurtle down 570 metres of banked, gravity-fed track that negotiates five high-banked corners. The result is pure hydro-orbing — a wet, wild rush that reads like a physics lesson and a summer party at once.

Guests should book online in advance; bookings are essential at all times and walk-ins are not accepted. Sessions run on a strict schedule, and staff guide every step of the process from suit-up to splashdown. Eligibility is ages 6–65; children aged 6–12 must first complete the shorter 150-m practice track before graduating to the full Mountain Run. Rides accommodate one or two people with a combined weight range of 80–200 kg.

The Mountain Run is engineered for thrill with safety layered throughout. Attendants oversee entry and exit, wet suits are available, and the course’s banked turns amplify speed while keeping orbs controlled. For families, the Dynamic Duo option pairs the 150‑metre introductory run with the 570‑metre Mountain Run — one 150 m ride plus the Mountain Run — giving younger riders a structured progression under supervision. Photo and video packages are available so you can relive the spin, splash and grin.

What sets this operation apart is its location: perched on the rolling slopes of Shadforth, just outside Denmark and a short drive from Albany, the park adds a heartbeat of adrenaline to the region’s karri forests and coastal beaches. Local staff balance high-energy fun with a respect for the landscape; clearing minimal track corridors and operating within strict environmental guidelines helps protect the surrounding bushland.

Practical notes: arrive in quick-drying swimwear without metal fittings, bring a towel and dry clothes, and expect to get soaked. Sessions typically take 30–60 minutes including briefing and suited prep; the ride itself lasts under a minute but the whole experience includes time for gearing and photos. Fitness demands are moderate — basic balance and core stability help, and the combined weight policy ensures safe dynamics inside the orb.

Whether you’re chasing a solo adrenaline fix or a family outing, The Mountain Run delivers a distinct, locally rooted rush. Book ahead, respect the guidelines, and prepare to roll into one of Western Australia’s most singular adventure attractions.

On arrival you receive a safety briefing and helmet fitting; attendants demonstrate entry technique and guide orbs between runs. Expect sanitized equipment, professional timing and clear signage — a compact operation that prioritizes safety while preserving the pure, buoyant joy of rapid, wet rotation down the hill.
