The biggest zip-line in the country amongst other record-breaking builds are coming to a shopping centre as part of a new outdoor activity complex.
Hangloose Adventure began construction at Bluewater, Greenhithe , today and is due to open in time for February half-term.
The adventure park will be in the 50 acres of parkland at Bluewater, which has recently been awarded Green Flag status for the fifth year in a row.
Once open, Hangloose Bluewater will continue to add more experiences over the following 36 months.
These include an outdoor skydive machine, Europe's largest swing and Europe's largest outdoor climbing wall.
Focusing on environmentally safe and eco-friendly fun, the climbing wall will make use of the cliffs surrounding Bluewater to create a range of activities for all fitness levels.
People will be able to get their hands on an early-bird 30% discount by visiting the Hangloose Adventure stand in Bluewater from October 24.
Construction was given the green light by Dartford council in August , although local residents raised concerns regarding noise .
Senior centre director of Bluewater, Robert Goodman, said: "As Bluewater evolves, we continue to create stand out experiences for our guests.
"We are delighted that the new Hangloose Adventure enables us to do this while showcasing our beautiful surroundings.
"It is a fantastic development for Kent as well as the whole of the South East and will bring visitors from all over the country to experience the thrills of England's longest and fastest zip wire."
Hangloose Adventure's managing director, Brian Phelps, said: "We're thrilled to be bringing England's longest and fastest Zip Line to Bluewater.
"This will be one of the biggest and most exciting activities available anywhere in the country, super-fast and super-accessible and right on your doorstep."
