Kung Fu film fans who want to copy how their idols fly around the sky are being given the chance at a new martial arts theme park in China.
Devotees who want to copy the amazing sky-walking techniques seen in movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon can now use the same special effects equipment used on the big screen.
Organisers at Wild Duck Lake resort in Kunming, Yunnan province, have spent more than £500,000 on the same computerised wire stunt gadgets used in marital arts films.
"This is the first time people outside the movie business have been able to do this," explained a spokesman.
"The computer controls how fast and how far you go once you're connected to the wire lifting system," they added.
Officials say the gadget - even at £10 a ride - has already been a huge draw with fans this summer.
"I'd always watched kung fu movies and dreams of flying like that.
"Now you can literally run through the air or over the water. It really is just like the films," said one devotee.
