“Last year at this time there wasn’t a zip line in the Branson area,” said Paul Miller, General Manager of the Branson Tourism Center. “This year there are a number of zip lines or zip line related attractions open in the Branson area for our visitors to enjoy and one of them is located within blocks of the of the famed Branson Strip, ‘Adventure Ziplines of Branson.’”

During an interview on June 11, Jared Story, General Manager, Adventure Ziplines of Branson, stated that the almost one mile long zipline course is unique, in terms of its location and thrill ride canopy tour focus. The course is composed of five ziplines, ranging in length from 200 feet to 1600 feet, three swinging rope bridges and nine towers. Riders will soar above the beautiful Ozarks terrain at heights of 70 feet and speeds of up to 50 miles an hour on a unique and inspiring zipline adventure. Story said it would take a group of five or six people about one and a half hours to complete.

Although blended into the Ozarks scenery, Story points out that Adventure Ziplines of Branson is constructed predominantly of concrete and steel with each of its stainless steel dual ziplines capable of supporting 26,000 pounds. He said that the zipline’s field staff are all ACCT Certified (Association of Challenge Course Technology) and have been trained in High Angle Rescue, CPR and First Aid.

The minimum weight to ride is 70 pounds and the maximum weight is 275 pounds. He suggests that children eight years of age and up can ride the zipline providing they are able to follow instructions on braking and the use of the zipline.

Story explained that Adventure Ziplines of Branson is the second zipline that its parent company, Perry Smith Development Corporation out of Pigeon Forge, TN, has built. Perry Smith owns other entertainment attractions such as go kart tracks, laser tag, indoor black light putt-putt golf etc., but Adventure Ziplines of Branson is their first venture into the Branson Market.

He is particularly pleased that the zipline can provide this exciting adventure experience in a location that is so conveniently located to Branson’s main entertainment, shopping and lodging area near the center of the Branson Strip. Adventure Ziplines of Branson is located just north of the junction of N. Wildwood Drive and Gretna Road (Branson’s Blue Route) and past the White House Theatre at 501 N. Wildwood Drive.
