The ZipRider at Jeongseon County, South Korea

ZIPRIDER® Operation

“The Xtreme and Freestyle ZipRiders are a huge asset to us at the Utah Olympic Park as a way to turn our once passive guests into active participants. The ZipRider rides have been a way for us to capitalize on our situation bringing both athletes and spectators together in one place, with the ZipRider rides being a tremendous way for us to subsidize our athletic training activities due to its ability to generate incredible revenue above and beyond operating costs. One of the best things about the ZipRider is the excitement factor which has our guests taking multiple rides and making multiple visits. When they ride it once, they need to take another ride!” —Jaime Kimball, Utah Olympic Park

We coined the term “No Sweat Adrenaline” to describe the The ZipRider® was designed to deliver high volume zip line operations with minimal staffing and virtually no downtime. The patented ZipRider® trolley features adjustable brake settings that allow every guest within the 75–275 lb. range to ride on the same setting—eliminating the need for multiple weight-rated trolleys or constant equipment changes. The custom ZipRider® harness seats and secures guests across a broad size range without a staging area, specialized fitting, or extensive training, keeping the loading process simple, fast, and intuitive.

Our patented equipment retrieval system automatically returns the trolley and harness to the top of the ride after each cycle, reducing operator exertion and ensuring a steady flow of guests throughout the day. Because one trolley and one harness remain mounted to each cable, the system also prevents rider collisions and maintains a clean, predictable operational rhythm. Together, these features allow most ZipRider® installations to operate efficiently with just one or two staff members at the top and bottom towers. It’s high-capacity performance—without the sweat.

A Thrill Everyone Can Enjoy

The ZipRider® delivers the kind of adrenaline rush typically reserved for extreme sports, but without the physical demands, training, or time commitment those activities require. Guests simply sit back, feel the anticipation build as the gates open, and enjoy the acceleration, the wind in their face, and the smooth, effortless landing at the bottom. It’s an experience accessible to a wide range of ages, abilities, and comfort levels—making it a standout choice for families, groups, and first-time thrill seekers.

On hot summer days, when visitors gravitate toward activities that don’t require strenuous effort, the ZipRider® becomes an especially compelling option. With new riders launching every few minutes, it delivers continuous excitement, broad appeal, and a signature “No Sweat Adrenaline” experience that keeps guests coming back for more.
