LOL. Big difference here.

Average Alaskan zipline thrill seeker = rugged outdoorsman with at least some basic understanding of how things work.

Average Fremont Street zipline thrill seeker = drunk, obese, brainless loser whose prior adventure experience consists of watching NASCAR or the X-Games on TV while downing his second pizza of the day (either that or just looking for something to do while stuck in town for a dance competition). Once in Vegas the same moron spends hours trying to figure out how the ticket payout system thingy works on his penny slots.

There's no steering the zip lines on Freemont street. The only thing you really have to do is pick up your feet. In case anyone's worried, when they weigh you they don't announce it or anything and the display for the scale is under a counter. They do write it on your waiver so if you don't want anyone to see it just roll it up.

I would like to see something more solid and permanent.


Missed this the last time I checked this thread. Something more solid and permanent is coming, the details are just being worked out. It's been delayed a few times due to cost estimate revisions, but believe me, this one will get done (I'm expecting probably by spring).

Well, the cat's finally out of the bag...delayed over a year and at twice the original cost estimate, but here it is. I've really wanted to post details in the past, but couldn't....I think this thing is going to be awesome.

SLOTZILLA!

WOW...that will be an awesome draw to downtown. it will become the biggest photo op in Vegas bypassing the Welcome to Las Vegas sign and Bellagio fountains.

I LOVE the idea of being dropped out of the slot machine like human coins...too funny and what an experience it will be.
Thanks for sharing

Sounds like a blast!

I went zip lining in Alaska and I loved it. I cannot wait to ride Slozilla!
