Florida Ecosafaris 8/30

A little gator (really, its there).


Oh yeah, we ain't scared.

About to go down the Rattlesnake (zipline roller coaster):  Ok, maybe a little scared.

That coaster was AWESOME!  We rode it twice.

The ice cold water they had was very much desired.  It was HOT.

The Rattlesnake - one of a kind

We walked up the stairs in the middle several times that day.  It was high (68 ft. I think).  Definitely got my exercise in for that day (or two or three).



Getting ready to do the coaster again. 

Susie wanted to push me off the platform but our guide wouldn't let her.  :)

The longest zipline in Florida, the Peregrine Plunge, starts at 71 feet  high and stretches for 1300 feet.  We reached a speed of 30 mph.

"Now Susie, can you fly like a Peregrine?"  "Only on Thursdays."  "Great."

The Plunge was great. 


Next we went on a zipline safari.  It went across 7 ziplines, 3 skybridges and lasted about 2 hours.

                               



The Panther Pounce, a controlled free fall.  We did it twice!
The Pounce went faster than I thought and I didn't get a pic of Susie in the air.  :(

I think this was the scariest ride.  I loved the Panther Pounce and hated it too.

The Pounce killed me!  :P 

Good times were had by all.

That looks totally fun! Did your mom watch all the young ones so that all of the adults could go?

Yes, but it was just Susie and I that went. It was fun!
