Gatorland is promising a new adrenaline rush to guests at its theme park, with the addition of a zip line course this fall.

The park said the Eco Zip Line will carry riders over the park’s jumping Cuban Crocodiles, then give riders a bird’s eye view of the more than 150 alligators in the park’s breeding marsh. It will reach as high as 56 feet, with speeds of nearly 30 miles per hour, the park said.

Gatorland is the latest Central Florida attraction to adding zipping to its offerings. Grand Lakes Orlando Resort, the Central Florida Zoo, and Forever Florida all added zip lines last year.

The 45-minute experience includes an orientation session, a nature walk through the swamp, four zips and a swinging bridge. The price tag is $60, which includes all day admission to Gatorland.

The construction of the Eco Zip Line is being managed by Global Expeditions, Inc., which is located in Bozeman, Mont.

now what happens if...god forbid...the zipline breaks and whoever lands in the marsh? sounds like a bad idea

Simple. It wouldn't snap. And I doubt as soon as they touched the water all the the crocs would charge over and try and eat them.
It's something different though to say you've done.

If a zip line snaps at 56 feet over a pool of alligators, you probably die.

If a zip line snaps at 56 feet over ground, you probably die.

How many zip line accidents have you heard of recently?
