Cannonball
- Become a human cannonball
- A jet of water catapults you through the air
- Included in admission to the Water AREA
Fire! A huge jet of water fires you into the air like a human cannonball. The Cannonball facility at AREA 47 in Tyrol is a catapult, the likes of which are rare in Austria.
Wardrobe check—trunks and bikini secure? Track’s clear. Go! Shoot into the air and splash down in the Water AREA lake. Survived? Plenty more thrills await!
If you've got the balls, we've got the cannon!
With the power of water
Our cannon works without gunpowder, instead using lots of fresh water from the Ötztal. Take a seat in the hot chair, and the jet of water catches you and sends you flying – and you land in the water.
You can do it as many times as you like!
Take it from us—the Cannonball is addictive! Enjoy unlimited shots all day at the Water AREA, with nonstop action included in your entry fee.
Wardrobe check: everything securely on?
Top tip: Before launch, secure everything—watch closed, GoPro strapped, swimwear tight! You might lose your mind (but nothing else)!
