Zip Jump

Zip Jump Rental:

This ain’t your grandma’s zip line. Our Zip Jump takes the excitement of zip line and pairs it with the adrenaline rush of a quick rappel.  After you climb up our 40 ft tower you will have two choices, our Ripper or our TruBlu. Our Ripper involves one big step into thin air, followed by a 10 foot freefall.  After the free fall your rope tightens up and the ride ends with big swing down the ground level.  If you are not feeling the free fall option, our TruBlu begins to lower you as soon as you step off of the platform, resulting in a longer, more scenic ride down to the ground. The Zip Jump Rental is 3 hours allows for members of your group to do each option as many times as they would like.

*For participation in Zip Jump activities, participants must weigh under 280 pounds, be at least 8 years old, and be able to appropriately fit into our safety equipment.  Please contact us with any questions your group members may have.

Giant Swing

The Giant Swing Rental:

If the swings were your favorite activity at the playground, then you are going to love ours! Your adventure begins by climbing up our 40 ft tower.  Upon reaching the top, our facilitators will clip you into The Giant Swing which puts your average playground swing to shame. Our nickname for it is “The Breath Taker,” and for good reason. Next comes one little hop off the platform and a giant 95 ft pendulum swing into the canopy. It is sure to take your breath away! The Giant Swing Rental is 3 hours in length and allows for members of your group to participate as many times as they would like.     

*For participation in The Giant Swing activity, participants must weigh under 280 pounds, be at least 8 years old, and be able to appropriately fit into our safety equipment.  Please contact us with any questions your group members may have.
