A Ninja Warrior adventure park could be built less than a hour from Nottingham.
Plans have been lodged to transform Leicester's old Toys R Us store into a leisure complex based on the ITV show.
The unit has been vacant since but now plans have been drawn up to bring the site back into use, reports LeicestershireLive.
Orijar Active has lodge plans with Leicester City Council that, if approved, would see the old store revamped and re-opened creating 10 jobs.
Documents sent to planners say: “The Ninja Warrior facility will be one of several facilities operating across the UK with indoor adventure parks located in Stoke-on-Trent, Wigan, Gloucester, Cardiff and an aqua park in Windsor.
“The indoor obstacle courses are aimed at all ages and abilities taking inspiration from ITV’s hit programme Ninja Warrior UK.
"The business operates through bookings including parties such as birthdays, groups and corporate events, as well as walk-in sessions."
It adds: “These facilities should be accessible and fit for purpose, attracting participants from outside Leicester as well as building communities at the neighbourhood level.
“Facilities such as this bring community benefits through inspiration to get active, more often, improving mental and physical wellbeing especially among younger generations.”
Toys R Us employed 3,200 people across the UK before its demise but had struggled to compete with online retailers who did not have the some overheads.
