Fly like the wind! Wonder what it feels like to fly? Ride the Soaring Eagle Zip Ride and find out. On this tandem zip ride, guests board at ground level not far from the Alpine Coaster ride on the west side of the park.
Once seated and strapped-in they are pulled backwards—ever higher—600 feet up the mountain, where they pause for just a moment. Then, suddenly, they reverse direction for a thrilling zip ride back down to the ground. Aptly named, with the wind on your face, you’ll feel like an eagle soaring through the Colorado high country on this exhilarating ride. Just like a bird, you’ll come in for a graceful landing back at the launch pad.
Fun fact. The Soaring Eagle Zip Ride was installed in 2014. Since then it has been relocated within the park three times. At one time visitors had to climb steps to board it. Now, ground level boarding makes it more accessible and visitor friendly. Two side by side zip rides also make it possible to double the number of riders.
Important note. Occasionally rides are closed due to maintenance or weather. Check our rides and attractions status to see that your favorite rides are open. Also, for the best value, we recommend purchasing the Funday pass online which includes gondola rides, cave tours and unlimited turns on all the rides and attractions!
