My experience
Done in August 2014. I rode the ZipRider at Icy Strait Point, Alaska, during a cruise. At the time it was billed as the world’s longest zipline, dropping around 400 metres over 1.6 kilometres to the beach near Hoonah. Longer lines have opened since, so the record moves on, but this one counts for me.
