Snow is falling at Xscape - the entertainment
centre where you can enjoy an action-packed day and night. Opening
at the end of September, the snow has already started falling to
make the 1,500 tonnes needed to cover the slope.
Real snow, cinema, bowling,
climbing...
Boasting the country's biggest real snow slope, both beginner and
regular skiers and boarders can discover the thrill of snow sports
without needing a passport. Combine this with a 14 screen cinema,
20 lane computerised bowling, 2 rock climbing walls, the UK's biggest
ice climbing wall, skate and air parks, bars, clubs, restaurants
and urban-lifestyle shops, the result- you'll never want to leave!
 Xscape
has already proven to be a great success at Milton Keynes where
this year alone it's on target to attract 6.5 million visitors.
With its incredibly wide catchment area, similar success is expected
in Castleford, located between the A1 and M62, next to Freeport,
and close to the M1.
1,500 tonnes of snow
The charismatic French entrepreneur, PY Gerbeau, of Millennium Dome
and EuroDisney fame, is responsible for bringing the sports, entertainment
and shopping destination to Yorkshire. " Xscape is a fantastic concept
which I am very excited to bring to Yorkshire. Since we started
building on the Castleford site we have been overwhelmed by the
huge public interest and attention from as far as Manchester."
"Our 1,500 tonnes of real snow will ensure year-round fun for skiers,
boarders and bladers, from the beginner to the champion - and that's
only part of the experience! The landmark 38 metres high building
also has state of the art activities including a 16m ice-climbing
wall, a tarzan-style assault course suspended 20m in the air and
indoor and outdoor skate parks."
