Standard Models
Standard models — maximize your profits
Standard models can be harnessed or unharnessed and used as standalone structures or as part of a larger facility. They can even be suspended from the ceiling, thanks to their modular design and multi-directional layout. With custom theming options available, the possibilities for design are endless. What’s more, these courses are designed to have the highest guests to footprint ratio.

Belay system
The Walltopia belay system is composed of two main elements – the belay channel and the belay device that moves along it. The belay channel is welded into the supporting structure. Walltopia uses a continuous belay system in its Ropes Course operations, meaning that once the belay device is inside the channel, it can’t go out. This ensures the safety of all participants and makes for an easily functioning set-up.
Belay lines
Linear belay line
This belay line allows for an easy linear movement along the course.
Advantages
- Speed – customers can progress swiftly along the obstacles without changing directions
- Bigger throughput – potential to service more people and generate higher revenue
Multidirectional belay line
This belay line comes with a splitter welded on top of each column. The splitter gives the possibility to take up to 6 different paths and explore different routes.
Advantages
- Longer experience – participants choose their own paths and can redo obstacles
- Easier rescue – staff can quickly reach sections where participants are located
Safety bolt
The M14 safety bolt makes up the main body of the safety device. Machine turned instead of molded, this one-piece element is up to 3 times stronger.
Secondary bolt
This redundant M6 bolt, installed inside the main body, verifies the safety of the participants. The element can withstand a load of 700 kg.
Lanyards
To ensure maximum safety and comfort to participants lanyards are offered in several lengths based on customers’ height and age. The following configurations can be provided:
- 150 cm lanyards with a 50 cm protector suitable for participants with heights between 1.30 m – 1.65 m
- 130 cm lanyards with a 50 cm protector suitable for participants with heights between 1.65 m – 2.05 m
- 100 cm lanyards with a 50 cm protector (for Kiddy Ropes Courses) suitable for participants with heights between 0.95 m – 1.35 m
Alternative Belay Systems
Continuous Belay Systems - Saferoller
Saferoller ® by Kanopeo is a continuous wire system that does not require any detachment from the belay line. The integrated trolley is attached to the line at the beginning of the course and disconnected from an operator at the end. Main advantage of this system is that it is fluid and easy to use. The main disadvantages include a high maintenance and limited multidirectional movements.
Continuous Belay Systems - Speedrunner
Speedrunner ® by Kanopeo is yet another continuous wire system that once attached stays on till the end of the track. Rather than a trolley this system uses a carabineer to attach to the wire. Multidirectional movement is possible for this structure but requires participants to forego some training.
Smart Belay Systems
These devices work with a non-continuous wire system. Commonly, smart belay devices consist of two hooks and a smart belay lanyard attached to them. Such systems are preferred to create a highly engaging ropes course experience. Nonetheless they do come with some major disadvantages such as the high maintenance involved, training required before usage and slow operations generated. Additionally, those could be confusing to younger children.
Safety
In addition to the certified devices provided, some secondary safety elements are implemented into the Ropes Courses.
Rescue Kit – used in emergency situations to rescue participants off the belay line:
- Sewn Runner – attached to the belay line to reach the person.
- BornackKE10 RE Rescue Device – attached to the Sewn Runner through a carabineer; linked to the customer’s harness to detach him from belay line.
Access Control System – this system places nets until the 2nd meter of the staircase to limit access only to the main entrance during operational hours.
Carabineers
Walltopia offers carabineers produced by Petzl. Thanks to their PIN-LOCK system, these can only be unlocked by the operators with a specific tool.
Over 100 obstacles divided in 4 types
Bridges
Bridges consist in horizontally connected elements and usually allow the participant to step on the rope which connects the floor elements. They tend to offer more width than the other types and are generally easier.
Platforms
Platforms are made of individual elements. Participants must step on these to complete the obstacle. The size of the elements and the distance between them govern how hard these are. Both hands and feet are usually involved.
Traverses
Traverses rely on vertically aligned elements which offer little to no width resulting in participants having to adopt a sideways motion to complete them. Alike platforms, traverses typically involve both feet and hands as well.
Specials
Specials, as the name suggests, refer to unique obstacles which are hard to put in a single category. These obstacles provide a mix of different experiences.
Tailor-made solutions
If you have a specific artistic idea for your Ropes Course, we can make it happen.
Add-ons
Rollglider
The Rollglider is an aerial roller coaster-zip line, designed to provide the feeling of free flying in a safe environment. The flight is not only enjoyed by thrill-seekers but also by people seeking novel and exciting experiences.
Quickflight - Free Fall Device
The QUICKjump Free Fall device gives jumpers a thrilling free fall experience before softly catching them and lowering them onto the ground. It offers a secondary exit from the Tree; we recommend charging it as an extra on top of the price of the ticket.
Zipline
The zipline add-on, similarly to the free-fall device, offers a secondary exit from the course to the visitors. This last rush of adrenaline acts as a “grand finale” and leaves a long-lasting impression on the visitors’ mind. We recommend charging it as an extra on top of the price of the ticket.
Observation Binoculars
Reward your visitors with a way to enjoy the surrounding scenery once they’ve reached the top with our observation binoculars.
Viewing Platform
The viewing platform, also available on a stand-alone basis, synergizes well with ropes courses by offering a resting and waiting zone for the participants’ friends and family.
Lights
Adding lights to a ropes course is a simple but very effective way to extend operating hours consequently increasing generated revenue.
