My Son's birthday was yesterday, 24yrs old, I'm thinking of taking him to Hunter for the zipline as a present. Has anyone done it? A little pricey, $119, about double a ski ticket. Sounds like fun, 600ft off the ground at the highest point. Luckily we both sneak in under the limits, me for weight, 260lb limit, him for height, 6' 5" limit. I'm 240lbs, he's 6' 4" tall. He's got a Go Pro, I'll have to post a TR if we go.

I have done both the lower and the top. The top is insane hard to describe the experiance. It is actually 6 seperate zip's and one zap. The lower is 6 zip's, 5 bridges and one repell.

It takes about 3 hours to complete the tour, plus commute time. The lower you walk to, but the top involves a lift or bus ride.

There are 10% coupons around.......

I did the lower tree top canopy tour last December. A buddy and I drove out from NH as our friend was managing the zips for Hunter. He has since moved back to Mass so I cant help with any hook ups :)
The upper zip was closed at the time but we enjoyed the lower. It was my 1st time ever zip lining---little nervous at first, at least taking the initial step off the platforms. I've heard the upper SkyRider tour is very legit.
It's well run though and everything seems very safe.
