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

4 out of 5 stars Spring Swings Deluxe   January 6, 2009
E. Unger
This is a fun product. The handles are not comfortable. You really need to watch the kids on it. If you don't have the perfect set up, two strong trees in a cleared area, then you need to build a support for one or both sides.


5 out of 5 stars Zip Line Fun   December 20, 2008
N. Franley (Ohio)
This is a great activity for all ages. We bought it for our 5 year old grandson and all the grandchildren love it as well as their fathers! It holds up to 225 lbs! It's was easy to install between two trees. It is the hit of the neighborhood. The zip line does require adult supervision with smaller children. Well worth the money for the hours of fun in all seasons!


5 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars 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').



4 out of 5 stars 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
