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.
