Five of the Top Branson Shows and Attractions

You will be 230 feet above the ground overlooking Branson and the beautiful Ozark Mountains. From the enclosed observation deck you will launch on a breathtaking ride over the 160 acre homestead.

 

The new zipline is called the “Vigilante” and they have specially designed seats that will make reading for almost anyone very easy. Riders must weigh between 75 lbs and 275 lbs. The ride opens at 10am, and the closing times vary throughout the tourist season. I felt the 29 dollar price was fair and is comparable to the other zip line tours in the area.

 

How does it work?

 

When you get to the top of a tower a zip line operator has you sit in a harness and they will make sure that you are harnessed in properly. The ride operator then opens the gates and launches the riders out the doors with no responsibilities to control their speed or breaking. There is a patented braking system that will slow you down when you are nearing the bottom. The pamphlet says that you reach speeds of almost 50 mph and I believe that. It was a great experience and I strongly recommend others to give it a try. I’m not too fond of heights, but I felt safe and I’m glad that I gave this ride a try.

 

The let you know that the “Vigilante” ziprider is only the 11th ride of this kind in the world. The zipline will carry you downhill 1/2 mile across the beautiful Branson, Missouri landscape.

 

Why do they call the ride the Vigilante?

 

The name pays tribute to Branson’s unique heritage. The Baldknobbers were a group of vigilantes that were infamous in the Ozark Mountains in the 1800’s and their history pays a vital role in the Shepherd of the Hills Story (which is where the zipline is located).

 

The views are incredible from the top of the Inspiration Tower, and zip lining down to the bottom is a very surreal experience. It’s bout as close as you can get to actually flying. As your cascading down to the bottom you see the world from a different perspective. It’s as if your a bird gliding across the blue skies on a warm sunny day. Zip lines are a fun and exciting attraction idea if you are coming to Branson.
