The Twin Zip Lines
Above Ground High Adrenaline Activity
 
Regular Zip

Tandem Zip

Super Style Zip

 

Moaning Cavern now offers an above ground, no experience necessary, high adrenaline rush. Race a friend or family member on our incredible 1500-foot twin zip line, at speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour, for the thrill of your life! Check out our new zip line videos.

Currently 3 types of zips are available:

Regular ZipREGULAR ZIP

Take off from the launch tower in an upright position. Stay seated, or let go of webbing to lay back. Race a friend or family member on our dual zip lines if you wish. Participants must weight at least 70 lbs to zip alone, regular style.

Tandem ZipTANDEM ZIP

Two people zip together sharing a trolley, for a maximum combined weight of 280 lbs. Both people are in full rigging. This option is usually used by parents with children under 70lbs who cannot zip alone. Pairing up with a child makes this a great shared experience!

Super Style ZipSUPER STYLE ZIP

This style requires a different harness setup. Start from the launch tower in a horizontal position, then fly above the land like a super hero. 2 previous regular zips required, at least one on the same day.

The first of the videos below shows the regular style zip race video taken by one of our visitors.The second video is a really cool zip line race challenge video. The participants play "cave drums" on the only formations we let visitors touch inside Moaning Cavern.

The Super style videos, below, were taken by our visitors. See more of our videos on the zip lines video page.

Once limited to challenge courses and Costa Rican Canopy Tours, zip lines are becoming increasingly popular for pure entertainment due to the fact that everyday adventure seekers can experience no sweat, high adrenaline, extreme thrills without any prior experience. Anybody who is in good health, and fits within the weight requirements, can experience the fast paced, high intensity adventure of zip line traversing. All you need is the courage to step off the platform.

Visitors approach the massive launch tower by crossing a 60-foot long sky bridge before being strapped into a full-body climbing harness and then rigged to the cable. Bring a “ready for anything” friend because the double cables mean zippers can race the zip line in pairs. One small step off the platform and you are zooming across the beautiful Gold Country foothills at speeds in excess of 40 miles an hour, in a 1/4 mile race to the landing tower.

The zip line launch tower is located conveniently just a couple of minutes walk from Moaning Cavern's visitor center. The cable follows a length of the above ground nature trail taking in some beautiful Gold Country scenery above the treetops.

A zip line release & waiver of liability form must be completed for this activity. You can complete the form when you arrive, or for groups, bring your completed and signed forms with you.
