An I’m A Celebrity… Jungle Challenge adventure park is set to open at Salford Quays in summer, ITV has confirmed.
The multi-million adventure trail – based on the smash-hit survival reality gameshow – is set to enjoy its official opening in 2021.
The first attraction of its kind, the I’m A Celebrity… Jungle Challenge invites guests to take on trials inspired by the ITV programme – whisking through the treetops on zip lines and ropes; scaling vertical climbing walls; and navigating a series of obstacles.
Tasks and challenges will be “based around the iconic Main Camp, Croc Creek and Snake Rock”.
Participants will also have the chance to grab a snap on the Winners’ Bridge and take a pew on the I’m a Celebrity… Jungle Challenge throne as King or Queen of the Jungle.
