Well, Road America (Elkhart Lake, WI) has a new Zip Line that starts at the top of the hill by the Corvette bridge and ends up in the pits.

I was there in May for the spring vintage races and they were installing it. I was back two weeks ago for the fall races and tried it out. It's 1200 feet and you zip while the races are going on.
It was a blast.

I've been wanting to give it a try. Was this in the Cbus area? I'm down 71 in Cincinnati.

The wife and I did it in Belize, and it was awesome. I heard that there are new ones in various places in the states, including one in Northern VA, I think, that is pretty spectacular.

We did one in East Texas, after riding a historic &quot;Texas Railroad&quot; train.
They had 7 lines that were progressively longer and higher.
The final one was over 1700 feet long and took about 40 seconds. It was awesome.
The zip lining wasn't the scary part, it was some of the height issues with the platforms between them.
But yes, it is a bucket list thing to do. Especially if you never have.
