Avatar zipline

Stace · 08-04-2012

In Nov 2010 we tried out the new roller-coaster style zipline at Hidden Worlds called "Avatar." It seemed more like an in-the-works prototype but something with great potential. Here's how it was back in 2010: A steep drop at the start (surprise!), another shorter drop and a skim above a gravel parking lot (ugly), through a black plastic "tunnel" (cheap) and a too-jerky swirl down into the water. We are wondering if they have improved it in any way since then? We also heard Xplor was going to do one of their own (via an employee there), but have heard nothing since. Thanks!

I don't know if they have improved on it yet, but we have received great comments about the Avatar and the park in general from out clients. I need to go, have an offer from the manager for 2 free passes as he wants us to promote the park.

In regard to Xplor, we have heard nothing but great remarks from all of our friends who have tried it. Shamefully, I live right down the street and have yet to try it out. Grrr.
