Ziptrek participated in the Toronto CNE in both 2013, and 2014, with an impressive 1,100 foot zipline.
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is Canada’s largest annual community event. Taking place over the 18 days leading up to and including Labour Day, the CNE offers a wide variety of entertainment and events.
Watch as exhibition-goers were dazzled by the exhilarating zipline that allowed guests to fly directly over the fair grounds.
The ziplines are gravity fed, so guests did not have to worry about controlling their own speed. There were four parallel ziplines of the same length. Guides were stationed at each tower to connect (launch platform) and disconnect (landing platform) each and every guest.
Some of the finer details of the installation:
