www.pigeon-forge-gatlinburg-family-git2know.com/Zorb-Pigeon-Forge.htmlZorb was created in the early 1990's in Down in New Zealand by Andrew Akers and Dwayne Van Der Sluis by "accident". Their original intent was to make a big inflatable ball that would float on and across the water while you were inside. However after getting blown out to sea a few times they decided to just get inside and roll down hills, which turned out to be a blast. Zorbing was born. Zorbing is even in the Guiness book of World Records. The fastest know zorb trip down a hill is about 52 kilometres per hour, set by Steve Camp of New Zealand. That's about 32 MPH for us here in the states. The longest Zorb ride is 570 metres or 1870 feet. Who would have ever know that a giant plastic ball could be so much fun? Zorbing is safe for everyone. Centrifugal force keeps you pressed up against the inside of the ball somewhat. You are not going to break anything.
