Scenic Mountain Ascent & World’s Largest ZipRider
How does riding the world’s largest Zip Rider feel? Well, there is only one way to find out during your visit to the award-winning Icy Strait Point. Higher than the Empire State Building and towering at 1,330 feet (405 m) above sea level, our ZipRider boasts speeds of up to 60 mph and a 25% grade. Can you feel the adrenaline rush yet? At 5,495 feet (1,675m) long and 6 cables side by side, this is truly an experience of a lifetime. Available to virtually everyone, your fun starts with a mesmerizing ascent on the Mountain Top Gondola. You will find the views of Icy Strait, your ship, and maybe even a glimpse of the Glacier Bay National Park breathtaking. Next is a short transfer to your launch platform, followed by an outfitting into your safety harness and brief safety instructions before the countdown begins. The gate opens, and you are accelerating, flying over the largest temperate rain forest in the world. The wind is whistling in your ears as you reach top speed during your decent. Back at sea level, a series of breaks will safely decelerate your ride at the Drop Zone in the heart of Icy Strait Point.
