Beneath the dazzling lights of the Las Vegas Strip, have you ever felt the urge to defy gravity? That’s what Double Jump is all about. It stood tall at 810 Circus Circus Drive. This wasn’t just any tower. It was a monument to adrenaline.
Back in 1968, this very spot was home to a rocket ship ride. Sig Roguish contracted Thornton to build it. But in 1992, it transformed. Adventure America Unlimited Inc. turned it into a bungee-jumping paradise.
I even heard that the first test jump was a real thrill. The North and South jump platforms stood 66 feet apart. Those platforms? They were crafted by D & D Welding in Eugene, Oregon.
Imagine standing on that jump deck. A hydraulic elevator whisked jumpers up to the top. The view of the Strip was incredible. But nighttime? Nighttime was when Las Vegas truly shone. The lights created an amazing show.
Did you know Double Jump had a special lift? This 200-foot single-stage lift was the longest in the world. Even longer than the one inside the Statue of Liberty.
AJ’s company took over in March 1996. It continued to operate as AJ Hackett Bungy.
Double Jump offered a unique experience. It combined thrills with the vibrant energy of Las Vegas.
