I don’t think it’s possible to not have fun on a zip-line. With this you get a line of 90 feet, which can support up to 250lbs. That means even adults can be zipping along, telling their kids to wait their turn. Just attach the cable between two trees, grab the trolley handles and pretend you’re in Mission Impossible.

Totally awesome toy! We got the Super Z Funride because I had a similar thing growing up 30+ years ago, only we called it “the monorail.” It is every bit as fun as I remembered! It does take some strength to get the cable taut enough (we got the 90′ model), but aside from that the installation went according to the directions and without trouble. We used a couple of lengths of slit hose to protect the tree bark from the cable, and screwed in a bolt 1″ underneath the back of the cable to ensure that it wouldn’t slip down. HOWEVER, the bolt does not seem necessary now that we’ve been using the Funride for a month. The cable stays put, as it should. We added a very fat, soft knotted rope (impossible to tangle or get caught in) with a big Jolly Ball at the end to sit on, so you don’t have to hang like a monkey from the trolley AND it’s easier to catch and tow back to the top. ONE IDEA: we found that we were hitting the end pretty forcefully, which could hasten the demise of the plastic trolley, but we didn’t…
