So I guess the zipline isn't happening, at least not this year?

a public community meeting will be held today, Monday, November 29, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. at Victoria Silver Threads, 1728 Douglas Street (across from the Hudson). Neighbours, business owners and the public are encouraged to attend to find out more about the zipline rezoning application.

Or this year?

Went to Adrena Line yesterday.  You know, I'd never really been all that interested, but some friends were going for a birthday, so I tried it out.  Was fun and I think very good value for the price ($80 for 2 hours).

 

After your training run, they take you up 300' in a Mercedes Unimog, like this.  10-minute trip.

 

Unimogs have very high ground clearance made possible by portal gears that allow the axles and transmission to be higher than the tires' centers. Unimogs also feature a flexibleframe that allows the tires a wide range of vertical movement to allow the truck to comfortably drive over extremely uneven terrain, even boulders of one metre in height.

 

 

 

You get to take 8 zips, including the training one, and a cool suspension bridge.  One zip is 1000' long and takes about 45 seconds.

 

The acreage includes some of the old Sooke flowline.

Victoria's Wildplay Elements Parks built a zip-line at Niagara Falls.
