"Biggest" in what way? Diameter? Height? Wind speed? Most heavily used?

Is the "biggest", necessarily the best option for what you want to do?

just remember, the bigger the flying area is, the more speed you can build up before throwing yourself at the wall...enjoy :)

... to do some filming in

Check with the tunnel first, if they allow camera gear in the tunnel, since many do not. Some tunnels only let instructors fly with camera.
