UT – September 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / An adventurous and new way
to explore the vistas of Sundance
Mountain Resort is just around the corner as crews prepare to break
ground on the longest zip line tour in Utah and the third longest zip tour
in the United States. The nearly two-mile Sundance ZipTour™ will break
ground in September 2014, and is set to open to the public in May 2015.
Designed
and constructed by Terra-Nova LLC,
based in Park City, Utah, the Sundance ZipTour offers a unique shared zip
line experience, enabling guests to ride side-by-side as they enjoy the
thrill of zipping down the mountain while soaking up the expansive views
of Mount Timpanogos. With a heart-pounding vertical drop of over 2,100
feet, the Sundance ZipTour boasts the most vertical zip line drop in the
country.
“ZipTour
is a game-changing addition to our recreation offerings at Sundance Mountain
Resort,” said resort General Manager Chad Linebaugh. “ZipTour will bring
an unparalleled zip line experience to our visitors and will give outdoor
enthusiasts of all ages a spectacular new way to enjoy the beauty our resort
has to offer year-round.”
ZipTour
will feature four individual line spans, including the sixth longest zip
line span in the United States. Each span will give visitors the opportunity
to customize their zip line experience and explore the mountain in a way
they never have before. Additionally, the Sundance ZipTour is being constructed
with nature in mind.
“Highlighting
nature is an important element of any project we choose to undertake at
Sundance Mountain Resort,” said Linebaugh. “ZipTour is designed to provide
a unique and exhilarating experience, while at the same time providing
educational and historical fun facts at varied points along the ride. Each
span of the Sundance ZipTour will highlight details about the native wildlife,
vegetation and landscape throughout the surrounding area.”
