Skyrider Zipline Tour, Hunter Mountain, New York
Hunter Mountain in upstate New York implores you to test your limits on its 5-line Skyrider
Tour.
This dual racing zipline experience spans 4.6 miles (7,402 m) in length and you’ll
zip down at speeds of up to 50 mph (80 kmh) as you soar over 600’ (182 m) above the
mountainous terrain.
Traveling with a friend?
Skyrider’s dual-line lets you turn your zipline ride into a race to the finish.

Zip 2000, Sun City, South Africa Nine-hundred and eighty feet (280 m) above
Sun City, South Africa, adventurers enjoy a 1.2 mile (2 km) steady decline.
Zip 2000 takes riders over entirely open terrain at speeds of up to 75 mph (120 kmh).
While many lines around the world are encompassed in dense forests and rich jungles, Zip 2000
offers expansive 180° views of nothingness.
Whether alone or with a friend, Sun City’s Zip 2000 is a thrill all should enjoy.
8.
Zip World Caverns, Wales, UK We’re used to our ziplines being out in
the open, maybe encased in thick, green tree canopies, but Wales’ Zip World Caverns completely
changes the game with an enticing underground adventure.
When compared to other lines, the underground zipline isn’t considerably long, but it’s
the environment that sells this crazy line.
Riders will use ziplines to navigate the neon-lit caverns in this incredibly unique cavernous
adventure.
7.
Louisville’s Mega Cavern, Louisville, KY Dubbed the “World’s First Underground
Zip Line,” this unique underground escape offers everything you’d want from a zipline
plus an added subterranean thrill.
You’ll soar beneath the Earth’s crust in this 100-acre cavern carved out of a limestone
quarry.
Six different lines, the longest running 900’ (274 m), stretch across the largest building
in Kentucky.
Oh, yes, you heard me right.
At 4 million sq. ft (371,000 sq. m.) of space, the Mega Cavern may not be the tallest, but
it’s certainly the largest.
6.
The Rattlesnake, St. Cloud, Florida Forever Florida, an adventure park located
in the wilds of Central Florida, implores you to get bitten by The Rattlesnake – the
United States’ first zipline rollercoaster!
How was that?
Think they should use that in their next commercial?
Well, if the idea of a zipline rollercoaster sounds crazy, it’s because it kind of is.
At 78’ (23 m) high and 1,300’ (396 m) long, The Rattlesnake cuts through the dense
greenery of the Florida Pines on a twisting and winding adventure that all thrillseekers
should experience.
5.
Zip Flyer, Pokhara, Nepal In the shadow of the Himalayans, Zip Flyer
sends riders down a 56° angle from an elevation of 5,960’ (1,816 m) to 3,020’ (920 m).
As you zip down at speeds of up to 86 mph (140 kmh), the snowy Himalayans serve as the
stunning backdrop to this extreme zipline thrill-ride.
Beyond the adrenaline rush of the ride, Zip Flyer offers an unforgettable view – at
least to those that can keep their eyes open.
4.
Eye of the Jaguar Zipline, Peru If the Eye of the Jaguar zipline website is
to be believed, this Peruvian adventure is the longest zipline, coming in at 1.3 miles
(2.1 km).
Less than an hour north of Cusco, Eye of the Jaguar calls the Sacred Valley home and delivers
on an unimpeded view of the striking countryside.
The lengthy ride tops off at speeds of 68 mph (110 kmh) and while it’s not the fastest
line out there, it’s length and open views make it one of the craziest.
3.
The Monster, Orocovis, Puerto Rico At around 1.30 miles (2.2 km) long, Toro Verde
Adventure Park was dubbed the world’s longest zip line by the Guinness World Records…
which really makes determining which of these final four ziplines is the longest a difficult
task.
While we know long and crazy don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand, for ziplines, they’re almost
synonymous, and The Monster is certainly one crazy ride.
2.
Volo Dell ‘Angelo, Italy The rocky, mountainous terrain surrounding
Volo Dell ‘Angelo, or Flight of the Angel, serves as a beautiful backdrop to this 1.375-mile
(2.2 km) zipline.
But wait, if this line is 1.375 miles, then Eye of the Jaguar can’t be the longest!
Blasted!
Misinformation on the web… who would have thought?
Anyway, matters of size aside, Volo Dell ‘Angelo connects the towns of Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa,
Italy in a ride that reaches up to 75 mph (120 kmh).
1.
Zipline Stoderzinken, Austria Alright, alright.
Apparently this zipline, found in Grobming, Austria, is the longest in the world; but
we’re going to hold off on claiming that as fact!
At an estimated 1.5 miles (2.41 m)-long, Zipline Stoderzinken offers the chance to ride side-by-side
with three of your favorite people!
Of course, they’d have to be as crazy as you to enjoy flying at 71 mph (115 kmh).
Thanks for watching!
