Way too expensive, late start, no shelter at top
Icy Strait Point ZipRider的点评
点评:Obviously my review is not the norm so maybe I’m more of a thrill ride guy than most. Take my review into consideration if you’ve done a zipline previously.
First, there is no shelter at the top of the mountain. There was only 1 ship in port and it was full of much older folks and the weather was terrible so I didn’t think it would be busy. The sign at check-in said you can ride early if there’s room so I went up 45 mins early and was told they are behind at least 45 mins - 1 hour. It was a dreary, cold day and they only had 1 little can with wood burning to try to keep warm.
There was also the ceremonial globe lighting which is propane and probably involved flipping a switch for the requested donation.
I went back down and did nothing because there’s nothing much to do there. Then I rode back up and got on the ziprider 45 mins after my scheduled time.
Huge negative is the price. Mine was $269 -$50 free at sea and $22 off for latitudes discount. It ended up being just under $200 which I think is about twice as much as it’s worth. It didn’t seem any faster than any other zipline and it’s over in 90 seconds. I actually felt kind of violated after it was over.
At least pave an area at the top waiting area or add any kind of shelter whatsoever.
IMO this is the biggest of money grabs for a captive audience. Definitely a one and done. I can’t imagine a family of 4 spending a thousand dollars.
翻译:显然,我的评价并不具备代表性,或许比起大多数人,我更喜欢这种刺激的项目。如果你以前体验过滑索,可以参考我的评价。
首先,山顶上没有遮蔽处。当时港口里只有一艘船,上面全是年纪较大的游客;天气也很糟糕,所以我原以为不会太拥挤。登记处的告示牌上写着:如果还有空位,可以提前体验。于是我提前45分钟上去,结果却被告知排队时间至少要延迟45分钟到1小时。那天天气阴沉又寒冷,他们只有一小罐木柴用来生火取暖。
还有那个用丙烷燃料的点灯仪式,大概需要按下开关并支付指定数额的捐款才能点亮。
我又回到楼下,但没什么可做的,所以就无所事事。随后我再次上山,在原定时间45分钟后才坐上了滑索。
最大的缺点就是价格。我这次的费用是269美元——其中免除了50美元的海上费用,又因纬度折扣省下了22美元。最终费用略低于200美元,我觉得这个价格几乎是它实际价值的两倍。它看起来并不比其他滑索项目更快,整个行程也仅持续90秒而已。结束后我甚至有种被“剥削”的感觉。
至少也应该在等候区铺上路面,或者搭个简易的遮蔽所吧。
在我看来,这完全就是针对无法选择其他选项的游客进行的敛财行为。绝对只适合体验一次而已。我实在无法想象一个四口之家会花一千美元来玩这个。
