Matt would be interested in this.
Don't think I want to give it a try though.

> As some of you may know, Meramec Caverns (60 miles west on I-44 in
> Stanton, MO) has recently open a zipline called Caveman Zipline.
> You can see their website here: http://www.cavemanzipline.com/
> Charlotte and I went out today and talked to them about group rates as a
> SLAGA event. Here's the story:
>
> Regular price is $49 for adults (13 and older); kids (10-12) are $39.
> For a group of 10 or more our price would be $25 each (adults and
> children), 10 is the magic number as there are no more price breaks with a
> larger group.
>
> Minimum age is 10 and weight limit is 80-270 pounds. Shorts are OK but you
> must wear tennis shoes. Helmets and everything needed are furnished, in
> addition to an orientation and a short 20' zipline about 5' high for
> instructions and a dry run. Normal total time with orientation and the
> ride is about 80 minutes. This could increase based on how many are
> interested.
>
> There are 4 separate zipline rides and connected by 3 swinging rope
> bridges connecting the 8 towers. Total distance is about 3000 feet at
> speeds up to 50MPH. Longest zipline is about 1200 feet. The ride starts at
> a tower in the parking lot by the cave and crosses the Meramec and stops
> at a tower across the river. Continuing the ride and using the rope
> bridges will bring you back to the final tower on the cave parking lot.
>
> We watched a group of 5 or 6 take their first ride and it sure looks like
> fun.
>
> There is a "chicken chaser boat" for those that don't want to go any
> farther than the first tower (scared, not fast enough or high enough, or
> whatever reason). However, there are no refunds once the orientation has
> started.
>
> Once reservations and deposits are made, the $25 ride is limited to those
> with reservations. Late signups or same day walkups pay the full price.
>
> Since July and August are filling up fast, we've decided on Sat. July 31
> or Sat. Aug.7. Hours are 9AM to 6PM.
>
> At the cave there is a restaurant and St. Clair and Sullivan have lots of
> fast food restaurants. There are no restaurants in Stanton.
>
> So let us know what you think of this idea and we can get it rolling. I'll
> talk with Glenn since this includes eating, so hopefully he'll approve it
> as a caching event.
