After settling in our room we decided to go on a jet boat ride! We ventured over to Captain Ron's Original Dells Jet Boats.....it's more than a wild ride! We got off the boat soaked! He did 360 degree turns, quick stops and also he did have to go slow in the no wake areas...which gave us a chance to clear out our eyes of water. It was a beautiful and wild tour of the upper dells.
Monday morning we went to Noah's Ark....America's Largest Water Park! It was a fun, wet, risk-taking adventure.
The next day we went on another risky adventure....Bigfoot Ziplines! A zipline consists of a pulley suspended on a cable mounted on an incline. It is designed to enable a user propelled by gravity to traverse from the top to the bottom of the inclinded cable, by holding on or attaching to the free moving pulley. We wore helmets, gloves and a harness with a carbineer that is attached to a pulley that was placed on a cable strung between platforms. We would push off the platform and zip along the cable from tower to tower. We were from 10-100 feet off the ground and literally flying between the trees at a height where birds and wildlife call home. We zipped over land and water. We did a total of six ziplines ranging from 462 to 1397 feet long. The last zipline was a double race line...which of course I lost to Ed. Kayla was the daring one and zipped upside-down over water. Ed was a little more daring also and jumped off the platform backwards. Kelsey did a little ballet on the zipline as for me, I just went straight and concetrated on what I neeeded to do (I have a bit of chicken in me).
This and that:
We had a great vacation and would possibly venture that way again.
