On Friday afternoon, I drove to Hocking Hills to ride the Super Zip! This was cool! I got to fly like superman. We walked a series of suspension bridges that took us up to a platform where we climbed steps to the top of an 85 foot tower.We were then outfitted with a special harness and launched down a zipline that is over a 1/4 of a mile long, and reached a speed of 50 mph!I had been wanting to zip this way, and finally got my chance.Zip #98!
Wild Zipline Safari is located in a wildlife conservation area that consists of almost 10,000 acres.
This land was once part of a strip mining operation. It was donated for conservation purposes in the late '80s. At that time it looked like the moon. But, after bringing in topsoil it was turned into the beautiful preserve it is today, creating a wonderful habitat for many rare species of animals.
The zip tour went platform to platform through the preserve along 10 ziplines and we saw many animals...it was so cool! I had a great time. My awesome guides were Todd and Logan who knew a lot about the history of the area and the animals!
