The ride is a 777' seated zip line with a two seater chair-lift where you are securely and safely belted in. The ride is monitored by a seat belt restraint system before ever leaving the platform, so you can rest assured you are safe.

The ride is suitable for all ages...or shall we say loved by all ages. The loading platform is easy to get in and out of, and assistance is provided if needed.

You can also ride the zipline as a single rider...so no need to bring mom or dad along on the ride ( if you meet the height requirements).

The Soaring Eagle will glide you over some of the most beautiful scenery in the state. The ride is just over a minute long, so sit back and enjoy the surrounding views from height above.
