Screamin' Gator Zipline at Gatorland!
|
|
Gatorland in Central Florida has just expanded,
and its newest addition to this popular theme park
is the Screamin' Gator Zipline! This awesome adventure
is a one of a kind experience that takes you high
over the theme park from a birds eye view. Fly from
tower to tower across steel cables at speeds up
to thirty miles an hour! But what truly makes this
experience unique is that you get to soar over pools
and exhibits of Florida's most popular wildlife,
the Florida alligator! These huge monsters will
be swimming, meandering, and jumping far below you!
As soon as you enter the zipline course location
they will lead you to a square room where you sit
down next to your gear. Then you watch a comical,
instructional video on the rules of the zipline
course that keep you safe. The entire time you are
in a danger zone you will be strapped to safety
harness. In fact the Gatorland teams have two rules,
be safe and have fun!
You will be lead across
the park to the first tower, the start of the Screamin'
Gator Zipline course. Here you will go over the
safety rules one more time before embarking on the
first jump, the Gator Grunt Run. This short and
smooth zip is the practice for the upcoming runs,
which are much faster, much higher and much longer.
These other jumps could also be considered practice
for the second to last jump, a whopping five hundred
feet zipline that starts seven stories high. Here
you can get up to speeds of thirty miles an hour
as you fly over Gatorland's breading grounds, home
to as much as thirty to fifty alligators at any
given time. From there you cross an awesome rope
bridge and you are onto the final course, a duel
jump where you race another park guests. If you
are with a family member or friends you can put
your zip line skills to the test in this final race!
The Screamin' Gator Zipline at Gatorland
is an awesome adventure and fun experience, a way
to make your visit to the theme park a lasting experience.
Not many people get to say I dangled at high speeds
over alligator infested waters. You can even purchase
pictures of your experience at the end, just so
you can prove your story to your friends!

"Alligator Island is America's largest home
to these reptiles" - For those that are
fascinated with these ferocious animals, Gatorland
is just the place for you. Most of thiese animals
can be seen in Gator Lake, home to the largest
reptiles. I was amazed to see hundreds of alligators
and crocodiles inhabiting Gator Lake. These
animals just love to lay in the sun and soak
up all the rays. Weighing 1,000 pounds, is Alf
a 15 foot American crocodile, one of Gatorland's
largest reptiles and a favorite amongst visitor's
and staff. Home to several species of native
Florida Birds, Gatorland has a uniquely large
palm tree where gators and crocs can meet under
the shade. Breeding occurs seasonly where the
female alligators make there nests on the island.
Being the home for several thousand Mexican
Free-Tail Bats, a special bat house was contructed
for housing on the island. Sleeping during the
day, the bat venture out at night to consume
vast quantities of insects before returning
to the bat house.

"Gatorland was a uniquely interesting adventure
for the kids" - Standing on a deck overlooking
the water, one can see the eyes of the alligator's
staring at you. Tanks in a different area allowed
guests to lean over and see several smaller
species of turtles and crocodiles. Laying in
the sun all day is the alligators favorite recreation.
Feeding alligators is allowed and hot dog packages
for $5.00 were available. Alligaotrs have poor
frontal vision so it was recommended to break
the hot dogs into halves and then toss them
next to their eyes. The natural reaction of
a gator is to grab anything that falls next
to them. Four shows were offered throughout
the day: Jungle Crocs, Gator Wrestlin, Gator
Jumparoo, and Upclose Encounters. Most of thiese
shows last about 15 minutes. Upclose Encounters
premiered animals from around the world. During
the show, scorpions and rattlesnakes were displayed
and handled. Handling 6-foot alligators was
not big deal for professional gator wranglers.
Holding the alligator's mouth open with the
wrangler's chin was one of the popular stunts.
Sitting on the backs of the alligators at the
end of the show was much in demand by the children.
Thank God they taped the alligator's mouth shut
during this act. Alligator meat and nuggets
could be purchased at the snack shop on the
premises, "yuk." To finish a fun day, we enjoyed
a nice train ride around the park as a finale
to ours days adventures.
