Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE RIDE

140 feet, half a mile, up to 55 mph

The Vigilante is a concentrated blast of speed and height: launch from a 140-foot platform and travel roughly a half-mile at speeds up to 55 mph for an intense, sustained zipline experience.

THE VIEW

Aerial vantage of the Ozarks

The route carries you over Ozark ridgelines, offering expansive, sky-high panoramas throughout the short flight that make this more than just a speed thrill—it's a view-driven run.

THE SAFETY

Sit back — automatic braking and no rider controls

The attraction is designed so riders have no controls to manage; an automatic braking system handles the stop, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the ride while staff enforce safety rules and harness fit.

The run is fast and exposed, with vantage points across the Ozarks and an automatic braking system handling the finish so riders can concentrate on the view and the speed.
