High Gravity Adventures, Blowing Rock

As a self-described "aerial playground," High Gravity Adventures sends visitors out on recess from the confines of the Earth. On the high ropes course, adventurers of all ages tackle more than 75 elements—including aerial bridges, tightropes, and giant spiders' webs—at heights of up to 50 feet. Of course, no playground would be complete without a swingset, too—in this case, a 45-foot-tall three-seater that sends you into a virtual free-fall on your way down, just like the swing Paul Bunyan used to push Babe on when she was still just a calf.
