The Rattlesnake, the first zip line roller coaster in the US opens this month at Florida EcoSafaris in Central Florida.
That looks cool. I've never come across one anywhere else; is this actually a world first?
I develop Superior Solitaire when not riding coasters.
Yeah... all I can do is imagine my crotch getting hammered on every drop.

I am sure that it is fine from an engineering standpoint, but I am not sure how comfortable I would be with the track bouncing and swaying around like it does.
Regular zip lining was really fun and not uncomfortable for the balls as you would think.... a zipline coaster sounds awesome and it's about time they did something new to the traditional zipline. :) looks good!
Your not the only one who is CRAZY!

There is one of these in Mexico, which looks a bit more interesting than flying around some pine trees (though the "waterslide" portion looks a bit painful): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM5gYq75Cgk

Edit: This video shows the "waterslide" portion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYFajGm5EmI I didn't realize that was left out of the first video I linked to.
It is definitely...interesting...agree that it doesn't look all that comfortable on the dips. They seem very "sudden," where I was expecting gradual inclines/declines.

Only with some action. And hopefully not such an excuciating wait.
I think this ride looks like a gas, I would love to try it.
