Zip Orlando to Hold Zip of the Dead Zombie Festival on September 14

- Michelle Snow

I’ve seen zombies in movies shuffle, walk, and run, but I’ve never seen one ride a zipline.

Zip Orlando aims to change that with their upcoming Zombie Festival.

On September 14, 2012, the attraction will be holding this special event full of zombie movies, zombie make-up, zombie dancing, and of course, ziplining zombies.

It’s $10 to enter and $15 to ride the ziplines. You must be 18 or older to attend and the gates open at 7pm.

Zip Orlando is located at 1374 S. Poinciana Blvd in Kissimmee. For more information, call 407-808-4ZIP.

Zoom Air Opens Treetop Adventure Park in Daytona Beach

- Michelle Snow

Last Saturday (July 14), a new attraction opened in Daytona Beach.

A company called Zoom Air has opened a “treetop adventure park” in Tuscawilla Park. Though Tropical Storm Debby caused some delays in construction, the company plans to have two-thirds of the course available, with the remainder completed by early August.

Once the entire course is completed, visitors at least 54″ tall will enjoy 52 games up in the trees, including 12 zip lines. The course is designed to graduate in height and challenge. The longest zip line will be around 500 feet, and the highest point on the course at around 55 feet.

Tuscawilla Park is located at Nova Road and International Speedway.

Zoom Air already operates another location at the Central Florida Zoo in Sanford.

Zoom Air Daytona Beach has special opening pricing through September 30, 2012. Rates start at $20.95. They also have package pricing for families and annual passes good for one or both Central Florida locations. For more information, visit zoomair.us.
