This Zip line started with a tram ride to the top zip line platform and then 8 cables down. A relatively short zip line but they were fast and high! A good adrenaline rush. Check out the BLOG!

I think this was cable #7, the longest one 2490 ft (they told us it was half a mile long) height - 276 ft, speed 70 km/hour, Duration 45 seconds. Felt like you’d never get to the other side of this one.

Couldn’t look around much when you were in the middle of these zip lines because you’d start to spin and at these speeds, no way did you want that to happen
