The first east coast ZipRider opened for business July 24th at the Wildcat Mountain Ski Resort in New Hampshire. The Wildcat ZipRider is the first to receive Forest Service approval. This ride offers amazing views of New England’s highest peak, Mt. Washington. Riders soar 70 feet above the ground over the surrounding trails, tree tops and Peabody River, and fly right by the main lodge before reaching the bottom landing platform. Reaching speeds of over 45 miles an hour this two cable ride has become a must-do for all tourists to the area as well as the local residents. From day one the Wildcat ZipRider has been packed with customers and the line can see waits of an hour to an hour and a half long. Wildcat plans to run the ZipRider throughout the winter and there is talk of adding two more cables in the near future.
