Why, certainly. The Bootleg Canyon Flightlines experience bills itself as a "ZipLine on steroids," which seems to sum it up pretty well. It debuted two years ago and despite the hefty price tag -- it's $149 per person* -- it's still going strong, and has in fact just added additional times to the schedule that's still posted on the website and currently operates rides daily on the hour, every hour, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Note that we have provided a link to the website, but we're loath to recommend anyone clicking on it: This is one of the most horrible websites we've had the misfortune of having to investigate since we polled you on the Most Annoying Casino Websites (that was over a year ago, so many of them have since changed, some for the better, some the opposite, but Bootleg Canyon, with its horizontal jiggling and somesaulting menu was migraine-inducing).
For those not in-the-know, a zip-line consists of a pulley suspended on a cable mounted on an incline that enables the passenger to slide down using gravity. They're usually constructed for entertainment purposes, varying in scale from mini ones in kids' playgrounds to with classic examples like the Canopy Tours of Costa Rica that allow you to zip through the rainforest, to Calgary's Canada Olympic Park, which features several lines including the main "Monster," on which riders reach approximately 120 km/h.
Bootleg Canyon's ride, which begins at the top of Red Mountain, seats you in a paragliding harness and transports you down the mountain on a multi-run series of lines up to 2,550 feet long that descend you at up to 50 mph. No one on the LVA staff has yet taken the ride (although Tanya and Jessica really really want to), so we can't give you the benefit of any first-hand experience and no one's rated the attraction on our site yet. If anyone out in QoDland has tried Flightlines, please share your insights with us.
