The maximum height above the ground is 820 feet. THE LONGEST ZIP LINE in the world is Jebel Jais Flight, located in the mountainous desert of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. This Guinness World Record holder is 1.76 miles long (31 soccer fields) and can reach a speed of 93 miles per hour. Eight hundred feet tall might not sound too high for a zipline.
When the first zipline course was created in Costa Rica in 1995, ziplining was simply a way of seeing the jungle from above the trees. Even to get to the platforms of this Bangkok zip line, you'll have to eat without eating while ziplining for two hours in the Thai rainforest. Travel more than 2.5 miles along 14 different zip lines at Lake Eland Game Reserve, the longest zipline route in Africa.
