This review is specifically for the Zipline experience. Not the entire Snow King area, which is very nice. The entire Snowking area is 5 stars, all day long. But I can't find where to leave a review for the zipline by itself. First off, the 3 young ladies that were our guides, did a fantastic job. Very friendly and helpful. Now for the zipline.......... we have ziplined at many different places from Tennessee to Missouri to Texas to Colorado. Every zipline is different and brings its own unique experiences. BUT, the having to carry a 15-20ish pound backpack hauling your own trolley connection and setup around with you, from one platform to another, is brutal. Especially for the ladies in our group. Then on top of that, the walking to each platform takes around 10-15 minutes total, then you spend 10-30 minutes standing at each platform waiting for those in front of you to get hooked up and go. Brutal. Then on top of that, you are required to basically pull your entire body weight up and hold it there as if you are doing a "pull up" or "chin up"........ to zip. Fine for my son and I, but a little rough for the ladies in the group. Can't really enjoy the zip or the beautiful scenery, because you are so focused on holding your weight up and hoping you don't let go and stop mid zipline. Because relaxing or letting your weight off, stops you. Also, I have zipped from one platform to the next, but never zipped to a platform, got unhooked, had a million pound hookup dropped back into a backpack on my back, then told to hike to the next platform and wait to get hooked back up again. The walks are doable but over rocky ground, across parking lots, up stairs, down stairs, unreal. The entire experience takes 3 hours or so. You are zipping about 80-90 seconds of that time. Yes seconds. The entire layout and design of the zipline is tragic. There are 3 ziplines total. A small practice one, an intermediate line, then the long steep line. The first 2 make the 3rd, unenjoyable. They should just charge a reduced price and let you do the 3rd steep and fastest line and be done. The other attractions such as the cowboy coaster, the mountain slide were fine. The small restaurant was very nice and the food was good.
