Great People, Mixed Feelings on the Course Itself

Adirondack Extreme Adventure Course的点评

点评：I've never been able to ride a zipline before due to height and/or weight restrictions, but this place fit my body type so I was excited. My wife and one son had done quite a few zip lines before (including the longest in the Smoky Mountains and the one over the Niagara Falls), but my other son and I were rookies. We did the Low Rider Zip Line Tour. It was good for what it was, but was not a traditional zip line. I had envisioned you getting harnessed up, somebody helps you go, and somebody is there to greet you at the end flying hundreds of feet of length - like every other place I'd seen my wife and son do (altitude here is very low and good for anybody who doesn't want to be high up). Not this place. This is more like 100 foot zips between small platforms within 20 feet of the ground, with nobody available to guide you while you're in process. The people working there are GREAT and give you a good training introduction before you go, but you're pretty much on your own from there. You can holler for a guide to help if needed, which we did at one point, but don't expect anybody there from platform to platform. Also, the platforms are a lot smaller than I had seen in the past, so don't make the mistake I made of wearing icky sneakers with no tread on the bottom. I came in hot to every platform and had a difficult time "gripping" the platform due to me wearing shoes that I thought would be great for being in the woods. Have good shoes with good grip! The other thing to note is that they tell you there are 9 "walking bridges" as part of the tour. What they don't tell you is that those "walking bridges" are really "wobbly ropes course bridges" - not something a guy with old destroyed ankles and knees from years of sports was expecting so this became work rather than fun. Overall, I found the experience to be more like "OK...harness in... make sure the person in front of you has completely cleared the platform before you go...then you go and spend the next 5 seconds planning your arrival at the next platform rather than enjoying the flight itself...do a wobbly rope bridge...wash, rinse, repeat." It was a lot of work and as my experienced family members said, not your traditional zip line. I rate it as very good from the perspective of the people and the fact that they can take larger mammals like myself, and I definitely felt safe, even though I was on my own for the most part. But, they also helped my inexperienced son off the course when he said enough was enough. We were both slamming hard into some of the minimally padded trees at the end and he just had enough (I bounced off and went backwards for a few so I do recommend gloves if you've never done this before...I pinched my hands quite a few times trying to return myself to the platform - oh, if you care, they don't give you helmets like other places we've been - I didn't care). I gutted it out and finished up since I knew we only had two more lines to go at that point. As long as you go into it knowing what you're getting into, I do recommend it. But, if you're with a group of pure novices or total experts in zip lining, I'm not sure this is for you.

翻译：由于身高和/或体重限制，我以前一直无法体验滑索项目，但这个地方的条件正好符合我的体型，所以我兴奋不已。我的妻子和一个儿子以前体验过不少滑索项目（包括大雾山地区最长的滑索以及跨越尼亚加拉瀑布的那条），而我和另一个儿子则是新手。我们参加了“Low Rider滑索之旅”。就它的定位而言还算不错，但并不算传统的滑索体验。我原本想象的流程是：穿上安全带后，有人帮你出发。在终点处会有人迎接你，那里有长达数百英尺的滑索——和我见过我妻子和儿子体验过的其他地方一样。（这里的高度很低，非常适合不想飞得太高的人。）但这个地方不一样。这里的滑索长度大概只有100英尺左右，连接着离地面仅20英尺高的小平台，而且在你滑行过程中没有任何人能为你提供指导。不过那里的工作人员非常棒，会在你开始体验前给你进行详细的培训指导。不过从那里开始，基本上就只能靠自己了。如果需要帮助，可以呼喊向导来帮忙，我们当时也这么做了；但可别指望在各个平台之间都会有人在那儿等着。另外，这些平台比我以前见过的要小得多，所以可别犯和我一样的错误——穿上鞋底完全没有纹路的糟糕运动鞋。我每次到达平台时都满头大汗，由于穿了那种本以为适合在树林里行走的鞋子，结果很难在平台上站稳。一定要穿抓地力好的鞋子！另一点需要注意的是，行程介绍里说会有9座“步行桥”。但他们没告诉你的是，这些“步行桥”实际上是“摇摇晃晃的绳桥”——对于一个因长期运动而脚踝和膝盖都受损的人而言，这可完全不是他预期中的体验，于是这反而成了苦差事而非乐趣。总体而言，我觉得这次体验更像是“好吧……穿上安全绳吧……”确保你前面的人完全离开了站台后你再行动……接着你会花接下来5秒钟来规划如何抵达下一个站台，而不是好好享受飞行过程……就像走一座摇摇晃晃的绳桥一样……如此循环往复。这确实是一项相当费力的活动；正如我那些经验丰富的家人所说，这并不属于传统的滑索体验。从参与者的角度以及它能容纳像我这样的体型较大的哺乳动物这一点来看，我认为它非常不错。我确实感到很安全，尽管大部分时间都是我一个人玩。不过，当我那毫无经验的儿子表示玩不下去了时，工作人员也帮他离开了场地。最后我们俩都不停地撞上那些几乎没有缓冲措施的树木；他实在受不了了（我自己也多次从滑道上弹回来、倒退回去。所以如果你从未体验过这个项目，我强烈建议戴上手套……我好几次试图重新回到滑道上时都夹伤了手——哦，如果你在意的话。）他们不像我们去过的其他地方那样提供头盔——不过我倒不在乎）。我当时咬牙坚持完成了全程，因为我知道那时我们只剩下两条滑索要体验了。只要事先清楚自己要面对什么，我还是很推荐这项活动的。不过，如果你是和一群完全没有经验的新手，或者全是滑索高手的人一起参加，那我不确定这是否适合你们。
