Few years ago I went to zip line near Arenal volcano in Costa Rica.

Those were some huge rides, largest was around 2460 feet long hanging over 600 feet in the air, beautiful nature around.

Sounds wicked cool Denis. You're a lucky man.

600 feet in the air,,,, you got more stones than I. Some ski lifts wig me out.

You can't really see down, once you're riding it.
As for ski lifts, I rode Hunter quad up and down, during fall festival few years ago, ride back down is quite different from regular uphill lift experience, somewhat scary.

Seems like a short zipline @ Windham.  My wife and I were on vacation in the White Mtns and decided to try the ZipRider @ Wildcat Mountain neither of us had done it before.  We both enjoyed the experience but agreed that it just seemed to end too soon.  ZipRider Locations  I see Bromley has one about the same length but with more vertical might have to give them a shot
