The Longest Zipline in America
A single cable stretches 2.5 km (2,530 m / 8,300 ft), sending riders in a horizontal flight position across a course that begins from a 47 m suspension bridge and a 10 m high approach, reaching speeds up to 95 mph and flying at more than 380 m above ground.
Seven Two‑Line Zips and Multiple Platforms
The broader zipline portion comprises seven two-line wires with arrival and departure platforms and short walks between platforms; all ziplines feature dual cables plus launch and landing platforms for added comfort and safety.
Specialized Equipment for The Monster
Riders receive the Monster’s exclusive harness, plus helmet and appropriate goggles at the launch station; flights prohibit hanging elements and require riders to travel in a horizontal position.
