Bungee Jumping in Texas - Top Places & Operators

“Three, two, one, fly…” Those are the words your bungee instructors will say before you take the leap of faith and jump headfirst from the top of a bridge or any other tall structure. Adrenalin sets in as you free fall towards the ground at great speed which is sure to violate traffic violations if driven in a car. But this isn’t a car. This is you falling with nothing more than a rope attached to your ankles.

If you don’t think it’s possible to be afraid and excited at the same time, then you need to try bungee jumping. But it is this weird combination of fear, thrill, and adrenaline that makes adventure junkies insatiable. It’s what they can’t get enough of and that’s why they keep coming back. Bungee jumping is one of the most popular extreme sports in the world. Now, you know the reason for that.

Bungee jumping destinations are scattered all over the world with the sport more popular in some countries than others. If you live in the United States, there are a couple of places you can take the leap of faith. This article focuses on bungee jumping destinations in Texas, USA. Here we go.

In Northern Texas, you have the currently closed Zero Gravity Thrill park which was renowned in Texas and beyond for the variety of adventure sports such as bungee jumping, skycoaster, skyscraper, ejection seat, and so on.

As mentioned earlier, the Park is currently closed as the landlord of the site of the park sold the land. While there is no return date yet, Zero Gravity is hoping they could resume operations in another location. I’ll also update this article if there’s any information about an opening at a different site.
