What is the Eagle Zip Adventure Ride?
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to fly like an eagle?  Ride the Eagle Zip Adventure Ride and find out.  On this tandem zip ride, guests board on the ride platform next to Wade Hall. Once seated and strapped in they are pulled backwards over Waterfowl Lake and up to a tower that rises 150 feet above the Zoo where riders can see all the way to downtown Cleveland.  After pausing at the top for a moment, riders are released for a thrilling 35 mile an hour zip ride back down to the starting platform.  You’ll feel like an eagle soaring through the air on this exhilarating ride.
