Central Florida is known for its theme
parks but there is a unique hidden gem
for the outdoor enthusiasts yes this one
is located in Ocala
the Kenyan zipline and Adventure Park
has the longest and fast as if line in
all of Florida and if Heights orange
sure thing there is so plenty to explore
with your feet on the ground so to get a
look new six at ninth Karolina Cardona
checked it out and shows us some of the
spectacular views this tour has to offer
this is more than just a zipline
attraction it's a one-of-a-kind
adventure where you'll experience
towering cliffs beautiful Lakes canyons
pretty much everything that makes
Central Florida special when we found
this place it was an abandoned mine and
abandoned limestone mined from the 1920s
that actually helps build i-75 but it
had been left untouched for about 85
years until eight years ago when the
owners bought almost 100 acres of land
with the vision of turning it into a
majestic attraction we fell in love with
it because it was just all natural I
mean there was just nothing around here
most people didn't even know that it was
here it's you know from the road it just
looks like woods just beyond the trees
behind the main building the view is
breathtaking but what makes this place
so unique the zipline course is the
longest highest fastest in Florida and
yet its attack Euler views GEHA the
longest zipline on the course is eleven
hundred and fifty feet here there's
islands that are still left so it's
almost like they left the perfect place
to zipline so we just kind of island hop
you start out high you don't have you
know since we have cliffs and it's a
gravity system it's easy to get from one
place to another on these very long zip
lines and with that in mind your arms go
out in front of you then this goes over
your head
I got geared up by clay one of the tour
guides and we were off to an adventure
but first a quick lesson on what to do
to stay safe me and Morgan are the only
ones that will clip it on clip you now
we're ready to zipline we started at the
zipline named no return to the tower
have to do the next one you look down
110 feet down there it's probably from
Turtles and if you wave at the turtles
they'll wave
we named it no return because once you
do this one you have to do the next one
so you can't get to the next one and say
I don't wanna do it now it was my turn
to cross that's across 400 feet in the
air first time a total of nine zip lines
with you across Lakes and cliffs giving
you a bird's eye view of Florida's most
picturesque vegetation an experience my
photojournalist also got to check out
for the first time the canyon zipline
and Adventure Park is open 7 days a week
it also offers kayaking horseback riding
and a wine tour for those of you
interested in learning about the history
of the property in Ocala I'm Catalina
Carlo and I knew 6:00 at 9:00 or so
beautiful now this is important if
you're taking a group of kids that maybe
aren't your own some of your kids
friends their parent or guardian does
have to fill out the form you always run
into that when you're going to the
bounce houses what happens when you
start taking other people's children
glaza good to know you have to sign your
life away just in case but if you're
wondering about the elevations Florida's
mostly flat and you know comparatively
they have a very little stair climbing
with all of those zip lines so if you're
you know a little scared
yeah the height part it won't be too bad
no I mean it does take about 3 hours to
complete the whole mission but it is I
mean it looks so amazing and the water
looks so blue there you're not used to
seeing water that pristine see something
with a limestone maybe maybe I mean who
says yes there you go Florida does have
cliffs
yeah but make sure before you take off
on that one that you are committed to
the whole three-hour journey I like oh
yeah you zip line then you wine right
this dopes not the wine before this is
right depends how scared you are that's
true
