ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (CNN/WJXT) - Talk about facing your fears two at a time. An attraction about to open in Florida has daredevils dangling high in the air above giant gators.
The zip line and obstacle course at the "Alligator Farm" in St. Augustine takes visitors flying through the air above dozens of alligators and crocodiles.
"It's all about being up in the trees and being out in a wild environment. And this is as close as you can get to being Tarzan or George of the Jungle," said Scott Brown, Alligator Farm employee.
This new course opens next month.

Hopefully not the visitors. :122246FIDO wrote:What's the catch.

I love zip lining! It's statistically very safe, so I don't think falling should be a reasonable fear. Yes, alligators seem dangerous, but when you're that far up in the air, you'll have a hard time landing no matter what's on the ground. I'm sure they're friendly alligators, anyway.

What's the thrill, your in a harness with double safety straps. Strap some chicken breast to your arse and run through naked if you want a thrill.

Re: You can zip line over top of aligators
i'm pretty sure i'll not be in line for this as an zipper or spectator, i'd catch myself rooting for the gators , to prove it ain't a good idea. and i never root for the gators.
