mlambert21 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 So on this weekend The Zip line in Sevierville finally opened. I went with another couple from the marina. There is six zip lines that you do. All of varying lengths, heights and speeds. It cost 89$ minus a local discount. Took about 2 hours. It was amazing. Would highly recommend it. Make sure you are under 275 and in decent health. The place is a cabin resort. Very nice and new. Will have a day spa and bunch of stuff but all about the zip lines. Onto the Pics. Shot of the sign Couple that I went with. Carol said that this is on her bucket list. Great words to live by. I started my bucket list yesterday after watching her just live her dreams. Oh yeah she is in her mid 50s for anyone questioning. Carol gettin suited up. Carol you nervous. Vince suited up. Adjust his package. Yeah like that. OMG the first tower. Nervousness starting to set in. Holy Crap that is high and far away. Were is the bunny line to start with. This is the second highest but amazing ride. I am ready Our instructors Carol was scurred but did great. You can let go of the padding now. Vince flying in. Yo I loved it. Onto the next one. This was often neat cause you could not see the other side. Also there was cows and jack asses to be seen under you. This was by far the best line, the 5th line. Very high and long. Can you see the start point? So I was having such agreat time and doing great. They told me to get adventureous. So this is what they allowed me to do. No good pics of it but I fully hung upside down for the ride. Amazing.... Amazing. Here is a movie of me riding it. Sorry about the noise. Hard to hold and brake and hold the rope but did what I could. Note the speed. Was going about 40 mph on this line. I will so do this again very soon. Actually like it better than Zorb. But it did wear you out for some reason. Not very physical except some hiking. But just tiring.

tnguy Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Cool! I'll have to check this out. Thanks for posting the pictures.
RexandtheBeast Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Great pics! I was able to ride one of these zip lines in Mexico and it was a blast. I'm glad a few of these are popping up in the US, and I hope to hit one here in Colorado soon.
