Since this was published six years ago the ZipRider has been surpassed in size. Still, it is a mile long and descends 1300 feet in altitude and is quite a ride. One thing I experienced and can be seen in this video, is the tendency for the rider to rotate. I was able to control this rotation by putting a hand out kind of like a control fin.
Looks fun. I zip lined in Costa Rica in the jungle. The platform you are on is like the Trump plaza compared to the rickety tonu piece of wood you stand on in the middle of the jungle.
The wife and I were there a few months after this was posted. We didn't ride the zipline but were right under where they come down, just before landing. I really thought I saw some of their feet hitting the tree tops. Our visit to Hoonah was great. The cruise ship you can see in the background might be the same one we were on months later.
Very curious about the "clap--stop" at the end. I went to the The Gorge, the largest in North Carolina, and the stops at the end were nearly violent, no matter how I prepared for them. I tried "the embrace" method and I tried "the relaxed" and my soul, equally, left my body for a split second. How was this ending?
i was looking at other zips because i just went to the gorge as well! i had to close my eyes everytime it would get to the end because it was so scary ahah! that was the most nerve wracking part of the whole thing
WOW, that's LARGE! I wanna try that! The idea of going at very high speeds without an unpleasant weightlessness sensation seems like an activity I could get behind.
Cool, but since it's so high up in the air, above the trees, that it's more just like a regular cable-trolly ride, but out exposed to the bad weather, unfortunately. I might give it a whirl if I get up to SE Alaska, though.
The largest canopy zipline tour in the world is in Historic Banning Mills in Georgia. Its amazing 2 day tour with lunch , dinner, and you get to sleep in a nice tree house. They have 2 large ziplines, the screaming eagle and the flight of the falcon. Not quite this large but still large. Check it out.
Zipline for the kids that travel on the sunshine bus and lick the windows, the latter however seems to be a lot worse in the winter months when tongues get stuck.
@@mikeblaz Once I saw the operation and the infrastructure the price didn't seem that bloated for what they are charging. Had to cost in the millions to build. They had to barge or fly in all the materials, equipment, and labor. Build a road to the top. The top and bottom anchors are massive, lots of steel, concrete and large cables. The only time it gets used is when cruise ships are there, so lots of down time not making money. From what I can remember it takes about 10 people to operate it. Maintenance has to cost a lot due to it is on the coast and it rains and the wind blows constantly.
THIS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING THE LONGEST IN THE WORLD!!! There are several ziplines that are longer than this one. This zipline is less than 2km. Ziprider in Mexico was the worlds longest zipline at 2.5km until very recently, when the UAE introduces a zipline that is even longer!
Most people won’t even try a zip line today as they go too fast. This zip line is doable in more people’s psyche . It is what it is. Owners: take their money and say thank you. Bored person: Oh, and get out of their line…”higher, faster , farther “. is just down the road. Go there and quit your bitchin.
All I'm thinking is what could go wrong, Aircraft or helicopter going out of control an hitting lines, pulleys failing, do they make you sign a release?
It starts going at around 2:30,
if you’d like to skip the long wait.
Thank you!
i wish i read the comments before i spent half the video waiting LMAO thank you

3:46 I hope the roof is lower than what it looks like. Or else people would chop their feet off.
I had the same thought.

@@skygazer858 its normal, every year the cable stretches just a little, once some feet go missing they know its time to re-tension the cable.
Well this is cool!
I had no idea that was in Hoonah.
Looks like a lot of fun 😄!
Can anybody else smell how clean the air is in that video?
Definitely not the largest or longest! One in Puerto Rico is over 8,000 feet in length. With speeds for some of 95mph.
There’s one in the United Arab Emirates that’s longer by almost 2000 feet.
@@D.C.. This is from 5 years ago
@@chiquita683 the comment I replied to was from 6 days ago
It didn't seem that long...
Ski Alpine is the highest and longest in lower 48

There's was a herd of deer in the small clearing near the pond on the left when I went in 2012.

OG?
@@mototoad1242 It means weightlessness.
🥱
Try SKYDIVING!
@@50buttfish "without an unpleasant weightlessness sensation"
I want to know how they go about stringing up a mile long cable in the first place.

That looked amazing! 😀❤️👍
Thats an interesting way to explore the map. Hope you marked your Points Of Interest.
Looks fun. Gorgeous scenery!
I always wonder how they run that line up there, SUPER impressive
Helicopters surprisingly. Used in quite a few similar projects all over.
@@dieselfan7406 i literally imagined a helicopter carrying the cables and was like "nah that would be too expensive"
They used helicopters to build the skyrail in cairns australia
Looks incredible
Ly scary.
Amazing footage, thanks for filming
I would love to see how they set that rig up 😜😜👍👍👍
Looks like about a one minute ride?? Just curious,,

This gives me southpark zip line episode vibes
thanks for posting this video so i wouldn't have to experience myself so scary lol
That looks like great fun.
That looks awesome!
Longer than in puerto rico?’
Man, that looks like fun 😊!!!
This zombies map is so realistic
That looks amazing
Awsome!
Well that's quite a unique roller coaster
Longest and nicest view! 😘
*ZIPLIIIIIIIIIIINE* !!!!
Would be better without the seat or harness. 2 minutes of holding on for dear life would be really memorable.
Zipline for the kids that travel on the sunshine bus and lick the windows, the latter however seems to be a lot worse in the winter months when tongues get stuck.
So cooolll
I bet the raindrops hurt on the way down!
they did!
Worlds longest premovie for a short zipline
Took my family on it. Fastest $600 I ever spent.
$600? How many people?
@@mikeblaz there was 4 of us and it was 2016 when we did it.
@@moosepasshippie So $150/person...still expensive. I thought $25-$50 a person before I read your comment.

I would hate to have the job of running that seat back up the hill!
I dont think i could do that tbh
Incredible.
I will love to do it but not in the rain .
Wie schnell, in Stundenkilometer (km/h)? mi/h * 1,6 = km/h.
looks dangerous AF ... i know these things cannot melt but
Melt?
@@randomlonglegcat7973 the iron ring, from the friction I think will melt
@@6ixss they are sliding on pulley wheels with metal bearings so don't worry, it's not like they're directly sliding with a carabiner on rope

fait attention la pluie tombe interdit
is that your heartbeat i hear throughout?
Dit moet gewoon Super Hard gaan
i've seen four or five videos on zip lines , all claiming to be the largest in the world . Hmm?
Each youtuber wants to get the most views/likes...
im in Alaska and i have to try this
That was a quick $100 spent
I need to try with my Batman's cape.
Longest, maybe? Largest simply implies the cable being used is very big/thick.
Stupid people aren’t good at English.
The man is the slowest of the bunch
*largest or longest? get it right*
this is like the 5th largest
. . . . . o.k. yah but I don't deny it still looks fun as hell.
Puerto Rico has the biggest
The United Arab Emirates has a bigger one
@@D.C.. that’s what she said
Wow Wow Wow i like this
Wow
So there IS a reason to go to Alaska after all.
Very slow compared to others.
Okay and?
Шикарно супер класс
Hate to be the guy pulling the crab line to get the harness back up.
Summer or damn near it and it’s nonstop rain, yup this is the north
2:30 can we skip to the good part?
Shakkah Brah!
Cuando termina te encuentras con un techo de vidrio lol
such fun !! 😂😂
This is just a crude replication of my granpops stair lift!

Imagine if your shoe fell off halfway, lol

just a ski lift that only goes down

how did they bring that cable up there without cutting the trees
Probably via helicopter.
