"This is for the first time I have experienced a zorb ball, it was a nice experience. When it goes upward it felt nice and the second round was good, so it was fun, I even had butterflies in my stomach, but it was a nice experience."
The rider is strapped inside the transparent inflatable ball and then pushed from a slope. It is a thrilling experience to roll down the incline.

"I was scared but when it started rolling then I felt nice."
