jedimaster1227 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) The Ride Entertainment Group has sent us a press release regarding their latest amusement ride concept, the AirSurfer! Stevensville, MD: Innovation, high thrill, and a patented experience like no other. This is what the Ride Entertainment Group believes they have on their hands with their newest thrill ride, the AirSurfer. As everyone knows, Ride Entertainment is no stranger to innovative, high-thrill, patented amusement attractions since they also own Skycoaster®. It debuted in 1992 and is the most successful revenue-generating attraction in the history of the amusement industry with over 1 billion riders to-date. The AirSurfer is the first powered zipline that has the ability to navigate turns and go up and down inclines. In addition, it offers guests the ability to sit, stand or fly as they experience this once-in-a-lifetime ride. Catch a curling wave on a surfboard. Ride the half pipe on a snowboard. Fly a windsurfer up and downhill. All of these experiences and many more are possible- the sky is the limit when it comes to the AirSurfer. This patented ride literally removes all of the obstacles from the traditional zipline because you go over and around trees, buildings, and anything you desire. When compared to the restrictions of traditional ziplines, the AirSurfer offers unlimited design potential for sites densely-packed amusement parks and sites with unique terrain. Parks, zoos, and family entertainment facilities of all sizes can now provide to their guests an attraction that has no boundaries but the imagination. Plans are underway to debut the attraction in late 2014 in the United States. Edited March 19, 2014 by jedimaster1227 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 James Franco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby2889 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I feel like this would be a great alternative for the zipline already in place at Dollywood. Can you imagine being able to do the entire zip course without having to stop and hike to the next platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Did they make that promo in MS Paint? James Franco? Nah, that's the budget Franco. like when you hire Skeet Ulrich when you can't afford Johnny Depp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeagain? Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I wonder if they have any patents for their designs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisco Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 So if this thing can go up inclines and around trees or buildings then it is a rigid track of some sort and not a cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah, that promo is beyond cheesy... Interesting idea, though, even though it sounds like it might not be all that original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 It looks like a good attraction for ski resorts during the summer months. I could see this being popular in the Lake Tahoe area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nannerdw Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I've always wanted to go on a zipline with no restraints or harnesses of any kind. Sounds awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
