The Extreme and Freestyle ZipRiders continue to be the anchor attractions at the UOP that people always make sure to ride while they are here. Our revenue on the Extreme and Freestyle ZipRiders continues to increase year over year and is one of the most talked about activities at the park. During the 2014 summer/fall season we ran over 30,000 rides on the Extreme, and nearly 20,000 on Freestyle, showing that after 10 years our Extreme ZipRider is still the most popular attraction here at the park.
