North America’s Fastest Zip-Line

July 13th, 2007 · 2 Comments

CODA’s Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta has unveiled the Skyline, what they term “North America’s Fastest Zip-Line” that emulates the feeling of a ski-jumper flying off the 90-meter ski jump tower. After strapping in, you’re tossed off the top of the ski-jump and reach speeds up to 140 km/h (about 87 mph). If you’re able to keep bowel control this should be an enjoyable flight, and one that I will be experiencing this weekend. I can finally achieve one-ness with my all time hero — Eddie the Eagle.
