The zipline on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls opened on Friday, July 15. Take a closer look with a Go Pro video and more. Joed Viera for newyorkupstate.com
I am going to do the zip lining on my 60th birthday on sept 3rd can’t wait I am doing it with my two sons so you look for me flying for the very first time thank you
I've been on some pretty neat zip lines, and this by far looks like the most boring one. It's not a free fall movement, everything is highly controlled. My biggest fear would be boredom, plus the amount of money I would be out for said boredom. What's the point of a zip line of you can't go fast?
I agree! It's SO SLOW & the ride seems extremely SHORT - like it's over-with before it even starts (and that's including the fact that's it's so SLOW - which SHOULD make it seem longer! Ugh!) I'm so disappointed; I thought this would make a great thing to do for my son's birthday but it's hardly worth the drive to Niagara Falls, paying for parking & then paying for the zipline... So glad I searched for videos before planning on this. Very ANTI-CLIMATIC! Sure it may be scenic - but that should just be an added BONUS to the ride; not the ONLY bonus. You can see all the same stuff by just standing & looking over the edge. Ziplining is supposed to be for thrill seekers & adrenaline junkies! This needs to be re/named to "Slow & Boring Scenic Tour that's Over QUICKLY - but Grandma MIGHT Enjoy it" 😐
Per the Rules of Play at the WildPlay website (wildplay.com/niagarafalls/): Stash valuables in lockers, cameras in secure pockets. I'd think given that Joed went down with his GoPro then that must be allowed.
The cost is $50 Canadian. You can find more information here: www.newyorkupstate.com/niagara-falls/2016/07/niagara_falls_zipline_ride_video_go_pro.html
Lame... better off doing a canopy tour in upstate NY or MA... probably half the price at 60mph at 200ft and 6 ziplines per session. East Berkshire Ski in MA is nice.
Hi There, This video is amazing. We'd like to post it natively on our FB pages (facebook.com/extreme / facebook.com/ExtremeAdventure/) and tag you back. Would you be fine with this? Thanks in advance
Even if you've got 50 to spend I can think of a million better ways to spend it than this mediocre looking zipline, they could've made it so much better, could've either had it go closer to falls or go directly downwards over the falls just several meters above the brink of the falls, now that I would pay 50 bucks for 100%
We have awesome ziplines here in South Africa! This looks pathetic! Aren't there any decent high speed ziplines at Niagara? We coming end September 2019 and not wanting to waste money on this boring looking setup! Maybe we just more adventurous and spoilt for choice!

I was going to go and zip-line at Niagara Falls but after watching the video, I changed my mind. I agree whats a zip-line without the zip.
Looks like fun 😊

i agree with you it looks boring as hell.

I agree with you Ro, looks painstakingly boring. Cool views though.
This goes 40 miles an hour
This is not ziplining. This is sitting in a chair like harness and controlled so you can't feel free and and brake on your own.
not even close to the falls,what a waste
hoover damn should have zip lines
Is there an elevator to get to the zipline or is it all steps?
It looks soooooo cool
Did you have the brakes on
no one is forcing you to go on it if you find it boring or to expensive for your liking
Rob Chambers nobody is forcing you to defend this boring zipline yet here you are
Looks Awesome 😀
Frank DeMoro it is
How old do you need to be for going on yourself?
I was expecting the line to cross the water...this is LAME!
how fast does it go and how long does it take to get to the end
It is said to go around 40 mph.
Lemon Fish I went on it that seems about right it was pretty cool
hmmm isn't there some new one that goes over the water?
can you bring your phone in the way down?

Good for rich chineese people or those who won some money in nearby casinos
indeed...56 second ride and costs that much? would rather hit the strip club and throw some loonies at strippers
And this costs the rider how much ? ( Aside from the obvious " too much ! " )
The cost is $50 Canadian. You can find more information here: www.newyorkupstate.com/niagara-falls/2016/07/niagara_falls_zipline_ride_video_go_pro.html
you must be fun at parties.
yes it should be free i suppose
Pretty cheap for such an amazing experience I think.

I am doing this
wow that looks super boring

Thanks in advance
I would not waste $50 on that
probably because you dont have the 50 to spend

Wow what a waste of money. Can you say rip off
Wasn't going over the Niagara falls thou :/
