The New River Gorge Bridge Zipline Is Now Open To (A Very, Very Small Portion Of) The Public
If you believe the advertising, there are tons of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. That last sale at the used car place. Those QVC collector’s plates. I’m pretty sure the McRib®, last time they offered it.
This is different.
To help celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Bridge Day in West Virginia, we’ve planned a special opportunity for a very few people.
Let me tell you how few:
80,000 people come to Bridge Day. There are 10 spots open.
That’s once-in-a-lifetime.
What I’m talking about is a tour. More than a tour. An experience. Walk across the New River Gorge Bridge catwalk, leave via a 700 foot zipline. Here are the details:
• Your van will pick you up and take you to the south side of the bridge where you will be met and escorted out onto the catwalk.
• You get to walk through the girders and superstructure of the bridge along the catwalk, 840 feet above the river.
• You will be strapped into a harness for a 700’ zipline to the road below.
• Your van will pick you up on the road below and escort you down to the bottom where you’ll be able to view the BASE jumpers as they leap 876’.
• You will be provided with a snack of yummy goodness.
• Cost: $125/person (not bad at all for once-in-a-lifetime stuff).
• Only ten spots available. Really.
• You have to be 18 or over, and under 250 lbs.
• To reserve your spot you’ll need to call 800-927-0263.
• Hurry. Seriously.
