Bosses at Airea51 in Stafford Park said that the phone had been ringing off the hook.

It's the first of two parks set to open in Telford over the coming months. FlipOut Telford is set to open in an as-yet unannounced location near Telford Shopping Centre.

Owner Dean McGuire said: "We've had excellent feedback so far. The phones have been non-stop.

"Telford doesn't have anything like this in the area. There's a couple of soft play areas, but that's it. It's something the town has been crying out for."

They held their grand launch last week, and invited Telford mayor Councillor Stephen Reynolds to try out the facilities.

Activites include use of the 54 trampolines, bouldering walls, dodgeball, basketball, parkour, a toddler's section and classes for youngsters.

Dean said they were looking to get settled in Telford and then begin to expand.

"What's next is to keep building the business and get it as busy as we can," he said.

"We'd like a second one open in Birmingham within nine months. It was always the plan, it was in the pipeline for the last two years. We've always aimed to grow as quickly as we can."

There's currently about 20 parties booked for the Christmas period.

"We've had a lot of enquiries about the for the Toddler and Baby Balleria sessions too," Dean said.

"We've had 60 or 70 ratings on Facebook already. We've had amazing feedback."
