Teacher Review
Thrill-seekers young and old glide through the air with this deluxe trolley ride. An adult is needed to follow the detailed installation instructions. Once the 70-foot steel cable is mounted to two trees or other stable upright supports, the trolley can be grasped for suspended riding from one point to another. The Fun Ride Deluxe is excellent for building motor skills, upper body strength, and physical confidence. Kids who learn by using their muscles will particularly appreciate the physical activity, and the natural endorphin release is an additional perk for all users of the trolley. The Fun Ride Deluxe can hold individuals up to 225 pounds, and as one would suspect, adult supervision is required at all times during use. -- Lauren Bernard, mother and elementary school teacher

 Kid Magnet! September 25, 2008
Caring Mom
Thrilling fun for kids and teenagers! This toy/ride/event draws kids like a magnet. Everybody loves it. Makes our backyard into a party. Very sturdy and well made--worth the investment. Ours lasted a whole childhood long, and still going strong.
Lots of fun for the kids September 23, 2008

The kids are very happy with this. My kids, the neighbor kids and all the kids on our street.
I didn't have two trees to put this up between so I sank a 12' post on the low end. I had to add a tension line to the other side of the post to make it work (it was bowing in and causing the line to sink to too low). Works great now. I only wish I'd gotten the 90' version (we have the 70').
 Nothing to warn you that you can kill your tree! April 27, 2008

I agree with other reviews that there is a lot more to the setup than instructions provide. One very important detail is that if you wrap something tight and abrasive around a tree limb it will eventually cut through the bark and destroy the outer most ring. If this happens the limb will die. Instead, use a steel bracket with 2, 1/2" holes, pre-drill with a 7/16" blade bit, and secure with 1/2" x 6" lag bolts. This setup can hold 1000 lbs+ and is the method I used to build my tree house
Needs adjustment each year November 29, 2006

We have owned this zip line for two years now. The set up is MUCH more difficult then the directions would have you believe. Pulling the wire around the tree and tightening it as far as possible requires a lot of strength. Then, each year the wire has sagged at bit more...although the tension can be increased easily enough with 'turning' the bit. However we are now at its tightest and it still sags. My kids only weigh 50 and 70 pounds so we aren't stressing it. I am now at the point where I will have to 'rewrap' the wire. Like other reviewers, the angle must be higher than the directions state in order for the ride to not stop in the middle. We are at 15ft down to 5 ft. Wish I had a higher ladder so I could set it up a bit higher. Even with my wimpy girls they wish the ride were a bit faster. The ride stops a good 8 feet from the bottom tree so its a pretty short 'ride.' I'll do my best since I have to rewrap it anyway. (as long as it doesn't send the kids INTO the tree that is...)
I am not looking forward to the job, but with all that being said.....
Once it is set up - the ride is Worth It!
After 2 years of easy use everything is still running smoothly - although we do oil the wheels and retighted the hand piece a couple of times during the year.
 BE CAREFUL!!! April 13, 2006

I think this product needs a LOT of hands-on supervision. My son slipped off and knocked the wind out himself TWICE on the 2nd day of trying this. After a couple of weeks, he finally regained his confidence to try it when a friend was over -- and his 6 y.o. friend slipped and knocked the wind out of herself (almost had to call the paramedics). Knowing what I know now... I would NOT buy this product for kids under 8 (follow the age recommendations!!!!!). I would like to take a pair of wire cutters and cut it down....
