The World's Biggest Bouncy Castle

Now THIS will put a spring in your step: The world's biggest bouncy castle is an incredible 893ft long (no wonder it's called The Beast)


  • The Beast, currently in a park in Belgium, has been created to give adults the chance to be 'a kid again' 
  • The mammoth structure is made up of 32 inflatables across the length of more than two football pitches
  • Those brave enough to boing along it face a tiring race to the end with walls and rings to tackle
This is the world's biggest bouncy castle - a mammoth 893ft-long inflatable known as The Beast.
It's been created to give adults the chance to be 'a kid again', and is made up of 32 inflatables across the length of more than two football pitches.
Anyone brave enough to boing along it faces a tiring race to the finish as they take on a challenging course of inflatable walls, rings and enormous bouncy balls.

Benedikt De Vreese, owner of V-Formation, the company that custom-made The Beast, said: 'People are dead tired when they slide the last piece of the track but after that they can't stop talking about how cool it was'
De Vreese said: 'It's about starting with 100 per cent energy and making sure you finish with zero per cent without reaching that point in the middle of The Beast'
The course, which is currently in a nature park in Belgium, has already seen people competing for a record time while dressed as Spider-Man or carrying giant inflatable ducks
Benedikt De Vreese, owner of V-Formation, the company that custom-made The Beast, said: 'People are dead tired when they slide the last piece of the track but after that they can't stop talking about how cool it was.
'That's why we built this, to create something special for adults but where they can be a kid again.'
'It's not always about power or speed, it's about endurance and knowing yourself.

The huge bouncy castle will be heading to Hyde Park in London in 2017, where contestants will be challenged to become the fastest person to complete the course
The creators of The Beast have plans to add another 196ft to help them reach their ultimate target of having an entire kilometre of inflatable track

But they already have plans to add another 196ft to help them reach their ultimate target of having an entire kilometre of inflatable track.
Benedikt added: 'Are the people of the UK ready for this one?'
Some people who tackle the beast throw themselves into the endeavour, as this image shows
The Beast has a colourful variety of obstacles, with some parts of the course tackled with an inflatable dolphin

Up, up and away: Bouncy X-s mark the spot on this part of the gruelling course
The owner of the course said that getting around isn't always about power or speed
The course is an endurance test for anyone who tries it - but these images show how it's undoubtedly fun, too
It's all smiles for these participants as they slide down to the chequered flag at the end of the course
