New Theme Park Rides in Orlando Florida - A Must See!
Orlando
is the place to be when you want to experience the latest in thrill-ride
innovation. There are so many theme parks
and attractions in Orlando that you can be sure there will be some new,
never-before-seen experiences waiting for you each year. And this year is
no different.
How does soaring on a zipline over Florida’s untamed wilderness sound? Or would you rather become one with a giant manta ray on a flying coaster? Or be one of the first to ride on the most technologically advanced roller coaster in the world? Luckily for you, you’re in the right place at the right time.
Zipline Safari
Florida Eco Safaris at Forever Florida is Central Florida’s newest attraction. Not only will you find a working cattle ranch, but 4,700 acres of wildlife conservation area to explore on three fully-guided tours.
The Zipline Safari
features Florida’s first and only zipline experience and just opened at
the beginning of the year. This two and a half hour tour begins with a short
hike along the Florida Trail, one of only eight National Scenic Trails in
the U.S. After reaching the launching point, you’ll soar through the treetops
along seven high-tension cables, reaching heights of 55 feet and speeds
up to 20 mph.
If flying through the trees isn’t your thing, you can enjoy the nine distinct ecosystems on the Coach Safari or the Horseback Safari. Alligators, black bears, nearly 200 species of birds, white-tail deer, and the endangered Florida panther are just some of the wildlife you could spot along the way.
Florida Eco Safaris is quickly becoming a premier eco-tourism attraction that not only offers unique entertainment, but gives back. Thirty percent of tour revenues are donated toward the acquisition of preservation land. According to Ken Wilshire, General Manager of Florida Eco Safaris, guests “make a significant positive impact on protecting Florida’s wilderness just by visiting.”
