Safety is the park's top priority...along with having fun, of course.
All guests receive appropriate equipment and a safety briefing before heading out to the park. Park monitors help guests if needed to navigate courses or offer words of encouragement when needed.
The aerial forest ropes park consists of more than 60 platforms installed in the trees and connected by various configurations of cable, wood and rope to form bridges, ladders and zip lines.
