Clymer, NY – PEEK’N PEAK RESORT ANNOUNCES THE OPENING OF THEIR NEW GIANT DUAL ZIPLINES ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20TH. THE NEW GIANT ZIPS ARE NOW BEING ADDED TO THE OUTDOOR ADVENTURE COURSE, HIGH IN THE TREES, WHICH OPENED THIS PAST MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. PEEK’N PEAK NOW HAS ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING OUTDOOR ADVENTURE COMBINATIONS IN THE REGION. THE GIANT ZIPLINES INCORPOATE THREE, SIX STORY TOWERS, THE FIRST AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, THE SECOND IN THE MIDDLE AND THE THIRD AT THE BOTTOM, IN FRONT OF THE SUGAR SHACK. GUESTS WILL CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE FIRST TOWER THAT HAS SIDE-BY-SIDE ZIPLINES OFFERING GUESTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ZIP ALONGSIDE A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER, DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE. THE GIANT ZIPLINES FEATURE A SERIES OF TWO DUAL ZIPS IN TWO RUNS, THE VALLEYVIEW ZIPLINE AND THE TIMBER ALLEY ZIPLINE. EACH RUN IS APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET FOR A TOTAL LENGTH OF ALMOST 2,000 FEET. GUESTS CAN EXPECT TO REACH SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-50 MILES PER HOUR ON THE WAY TO THE NEXT TOWER. 

“WE ARE PLEASED TO SEE ALL THE EXCITEMENT GENERATED BY THE OUTDOOR MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE COURSE AT PEEK’N PEAK THIS SUMMER,” SAID NICK SCOTT, SR., PRESIDENT OF SCOTT ENTERPRISES WHO OWN PEEK’N PEAK RESORT. “THE NEW ADDITION OF THE GIANT ZIPLINES ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE OF THE ADVENTURE COURSE AND WILL MAKE PEEK’N PEAK A MUST-DO FAMILY DESTINATION.”

“THE GIANT DUAL ZIPLINES ARE A CHANCE TO HAVE A FUN AND AN EXHILARATING EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS. WE ARE PROUD TO BRING THIS ATTRACTION TO THE REGION,” SAID NICK SCOTT, JR, VICE PRESIDENT OF SCOTT ENTERPRISES.

GUESTS WILL BEGIN THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH A CHAIRLIFT RIDE TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN. ONCE AT THE TOP, THEY WILL CLIMB THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE TO THE FIRST TOWER PLATFORM, SIX STORIES ABOVE THE GROUND. THE FIRST ZIPLINE RUN IS CALLED, VALLEY VIEW, AFFORDING MAGINIFICENT VIEWS OF THE VALLEY BELOW. PARTICIPANTS WILL ZIP ON DUAL LINES, NEXT TO EACH OTHER, APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET TO THE MID MOUNTAIN TOWER. THEN THEY WILL TRANSFER THEIR TROLLEYS TO THE TIMBER ALLEY ZIPLINE RUN. THERE THEY WILL DESCEND DOWN A TUNNEL OF TREES TO THE BOTTOM PLATFORM TO COMPLETE THEIR EXHILARATING EXPERIENCE DOWN THE MOUNTAIN.

“THE VIEWS ATOP THE ZIPLINE TOWERS ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. WE ARE HAPPY TO MAKE CONTINUAL ADDITIONS AND INVESTMENTS TO PEEK’N PEAK RESORT TO MAKE IT A FOUR SEASONS DESTINATION,” SAID CHRIS N. SCOTT, VICE PRESIDENT OF SCOTT ENTERPRISES.

ONCE GUESTS REACH THE FINAL TOWER, ZIPLINERS CAN CHOOSE TO TAKE THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE DOWN FROM THE SIX STORY PLATFORM OR HOOK ON TO A “DESCENDER” WHERE THEY CAN JUMP OFF THE TOWER, FREEFALLING FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND UNTIL THE “DESCENDER” TAKES OVER, AND THEY ARE LOWERED SAFELY AND GENTLY TO THE GROUND. GUESTS CAN RENT GOPRO CAMERAS TO RECORD THEIR EXPERIENCE FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THE GREAT THING ABOUT THE GIANT ZIPLINES ARE THAT THERE IS NO SPECIAL NEED
OR TALENT OR STRENGTH TO ENJOY THEM. JUST HOOK ON AND EVERYTHING IS AUTOMATIC, INCLUDING THE BRAKING.

THE GIANT DUAL ZIPLINES WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC BEGINNING WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20 AT 12 PM. FOR MORE DETAILS, INCLUDING HOURS AND PRICE INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT WWW.PKNPK.COM. THE GIANT ZIPLINES & THE OUTDOOR ADVENTURE COURSES WILL BE OPEN DAILY THROUGH LABOR DAY AND EVERY WEEKEND THROUGHOUT THE FALL. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE GIANT ZIPLINES WILL BE OPEN ALL YEAR-ROUND ON WEEKENDS, WHICH MEANS GUESTS WILL BE ABLE TO ZIP DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE WHILE WATCHING SKIIERS DOWN BELOW.
