Zip Line on Fremont Street

By Mary

Fremont St. in Las Vegas has put in a zip line.  A zip line is a series of very, very strong cables.  You are put in a harness contraption and connected to these cables.  Then you ride the cables by “zipping” along on them.

This is the scaffolding at the beginning of the zip line.

I am being harnessed in---tickets sales start at noon….I was first in line (b4 noon), so was the first zip liner of the day.

Rex took my picture as I was zipping along.

Moving along toward the end of the line.  I think the whole ride lasted about 30 seconds.

This is our friend Mikey zipping along.  He also enjoyed it.

This company also runs a zip line in Boulder City.  That one is suppose to go across a canyon and is more expensive.  The one on Fremont Street costs either $15 or $20 depending if whether you go before or after 6PM.

Anyway Mikey gave it two thumbs up!!
