Royal Rush Skycoaster

Royal Rush Skycoaster

Royal Gorge - Royal Rush Skycoaster This is truly the best way to view the Royal Gorge! I waited about 1 hour and then was strapped into a harness next to my friend Bill and got to swing out five times across the Royal Gorge. I loved it!

Speechless ..

So, this 'Skycoaster' contraption propels the
folks out over the Gorge ?

Amazing - why didn't I think of that?

(Personal question time):

(1) Does a person take their camera with them?
(2) WHAT IF a person drops their camera ???

Awesome stuff, Kathy !!! !! !

Re: Speechless ..

Yep! The process is: first they suit you up in this apron-like thing. Then you walk up a ladder where you are attached to the "sky-hook". The ladder is pulled away and the hook is yanked upward and AWAY you fly over the gorge.

No cameras go with you but someone does videotape your experience for a fee. I have my personal momento!

Re: Speechless ..

I understand, but ...

How did you get the 'still' photos looking
down into the Gorge? Were those taken from
the viewpoint ??

Re: Speechless ..

The still pictures were taken from spy satellites....

Actually the pictures looking down into the gorge were taken while riding the tram across or walking on the bridge.

Re: Speechless ..

Incredible ...

I haven't seen a place with so many recreational opportunities for the young at heart!

(1)Skycoaster- I think I'm a bit SHY of the
skycoaster.

(2)Ariel Tram - This would be fun.

(3)The Suspension Bridge- Very historical!

(4)Rafting beneath the Bridge- Awesome!

(5)Watching the train- It BEATS watching TV!

(6)Just looking up at the clouds, and
wondering if I have to take shelter from a
storm by discovering a picnic table with a
tarp over it, and eating a soggy hot dog -

'Priceless!!!'
