"Don't look down...Don't look down..."
These are the most common words to be said before jumping off any ride that's higher than 50 feet!
For those who are not as intimidated by heights and embrace the thrill of gliding through treetops, the following list of Top Ziplines should only increase your level of excitement.
Have you been on more than enough Zip lines to make your own Top 5?...Top 10? See if your top places matches the following three!
First on the list:
Zip Quest - Fayetteville, N.C
ZipQuest is a world-class zip line tour and nature adventure. You can zip through the treetops of the beautiful forests in North Carolina and over the region's waterfall - Carver's Falls.
A perfect place for family adventures, group activities, and team-building retreats, ZipQuest can be one of the most exciting outdoor activities you've ever been to! You can fly seven stories high on the "pure adrenaline rush" that they call "Swing Shot," and you can also build up your excitement with the "Night Quest," which gives you all the fun of ziplining, but in the dark!
Flightlinez - Las Vegas
Still interested in Ziplining at night? What better place to visit other than Las Vegas where you can zip beneath a laser light show that's set to music.
Even before the ride begins, Fligtlinez brings your excitement to a whole new level! As if the light show wasn't enough, there is a psychedelic light show projected on the Vivia Vision Canopy.
After jumping off, you are soaring at a speed of 30 mph with a complete view of Vegas and all its glory!
Hawaii
There are two different destinations in Hawaii that seem to make it to various "Top 10" lists. But, there is no definite decision on which is better than the other.
-Kapalua Adventures - Lahaina, Hawaii:
With all the other things to do in Hawaii, why not make time to get an aerial view of tropical forests, pineapple fields, and a 50-foot waterfall?
With almost two miles of parallel zipping, you and a friend can enjoy one of the country's largest zipline destinations.
Hawaii is not exactly known for amping up your excitement, but what's a vacation without a little extra adrenaline?
After zipping, you can enjoy a high rope course and traverse Hawaii's longest suspension bridge!
-Haleakala Skyline Tour - Maui, Hawaii
With five Zipline crossings each up to about two hours long, visiting here is worth every penny.
It is known for the towering fragrant eucalyptus trees, and the Indiana Jones Style singing bridge!
As you zipline over canyons and embrace the 90 ft. drops, you can also be amazed by Maui's only "Pendulum" up and back line that reaches speeds over 45 mph.
If you go to Hawaii, try and visit both. Then you decide which is better!
