点评:I have always viewed zip lining as a fun thing but never took the time to do it since I have more dangerous hobbies that have taken a higher precedence. My grown kids surprised me with this adventure by literally blind folding me until we were standing in the parking lot.
The main building and decor was very well put together and was the perfect set up for the surroundings, with plenty of seating. We started on time by getting harness fitted and moved out to the first of 8 lines. Although our group was comprised of 3 of my grown kids and a few other families. The experience was a lot of fun cheering each other on as we progressed to higher and faster lines. The staff warned us there was some walking between lines, but be prepared for hiking steep maintained UTV trails. There were a couple of nervous folks intimidated by the height of the lines but they powered through each one. Each line presented a different challenge as prompted by the staff, which was a way to give riders the confidence in the equipment to relax and have fun. One popular move was letting go of the lanyard connecting the block to the line, and laying back on a deadman position.
The last line has two parallel lines that passes over a body of water. Riders can choose to do side-by-side racing or opt to upgrade to the Zwing, which I highly recommend! You ride alone connected by a 20ft lanyard. As you leap from the elevated platform (like a mountain top Forest Ranger tower) the momentum causes you to swing as you ride the line. Loads of fun.
I can’t say enough about the staff- everyone was very friendly, helpful, and encouraging. Lots of funny one liners and funny stories. I will go back next visit to the area.
翻译:我一直觉得滑索是一项很有趣的活动,但由于我有一些更为刺激、风险更高的爱好,就一直没时间去体验。这次,我的成年子女们给了我一个惊喜——他们蒙上我的眼睛,带我来到停车场,才让我知道我们要去玩滑索。
主楼的设计和装潢十分出色,与周围环境相得益彰,还设有大量休息区。我们准时开始活动:先穿上安全带,随后便前往第一条滑索的起点。总共有8条滑索可供体验。虽然我们一行人中有我的三个成年子女以及其他几个家庭,但整个体验真的非常有趣——当我们逐一挑战更高、更陡的滑索时,大家还互相加油打气。工作人员事先提醒我们,在不同滑索之间需要步行一段距离,还要做好徒步攀爬陡峭且维护良好的越野车道的准备。有几位参与者因为害怕滑索的高度而感到紧张,但他们最终都成功完成了每一项挑战。在工作人员的引导下,每条滑索都带来了不同的挑战。这是一种让骑行者对装备充满信心、从而放松身心并享受乐趣的方式。一个很受欢迎的动作就是松开连接滑块与绳索的安全绳,然后以“仰躺姿势”滑行。
最后一条滑道有两条并行的滑线,它们横跨一片水域。骑行者可以选择并肩竞速,也可以升级体验“Zwing”项目——我强烈推荐这个选项!在这种项目中,你独自滑行,仅靠一根20英尺长的安全绳与滑道相连。当你从高处平台(比如山顶上的森林护林员瞭望塔)跳下时,惯性会让你沿着绳索摆动起来。非常有趣哦!
工作人员真的太棒了——每个人都友善、热心又乐于助人。他们还讲了很多有趣的俏皮话和笑话。下次来这一带时,我一定还会再来。
