  • Jim rides the Monster zip line, the world's second-longest zip line at Toro Verde in Orocovis, Puerto Rico.
    The ride is 7,234 feet long, or 28 football fields, and about 1,200 feet high. Riders can reach speeds of up to 95 miles per hour depending on your weight. Recorded at Toro Verde Adventure Park. But how does it compare to the zip line in Mexico’s Copper Canyon? How much does it cost? Is it worth it? Find out in the video.

      Yes, that's the ride Jimmy Fallon went on. It was not that scary to me. "The Ziplines and the Beast" is a far better package than "the Monster", it's longer and worth the time and money (I think it's even cheaper than the Monster).

    Let me tell you something dude, the zip line in Puerto Rico is the tallest and since 2018 was the longest as well, but is the LONGEST IN THE AMERICAN HEMISPHERE, also why treating Puerto Rico as a Spanish speaking country when is almost a bilingual? It was crazy that when you promoted the one in the other country you all of the sudden spoke English huh 🤔. Plus Spanish is from Spain use the Spanish flag.
