Princeville Ranch Zip N' Dip
 
Has anyone done the Princeville Ranch Zip N' Dip with 8 ziplines and a suspension bridge? I will be traveling with my 12 year year old and it looks better than the other one for her age. I'm hoping it would be worth the money.

Your 12-year old will _love_ this one -- it seems to get best reviews from youngsters, and the 20- to 30-something crowd.

Thanks is there a place where you found reviews on it? I find very little on this particular one.

I live here -- these comments came from the visitors who chat with me about their various adventures.

Lucky you :) Which do you think is better doing the morning which I believe runs from 8-12:30 or afternoon 1:00-5:30 pm if I remember correctly?

My husband & I did the afternoon trip last June and loved it. There were 8 clients, 2 of them teens,& 2 guides. The guides were great and the lunch was good. The zips start easy and get longer and higher as you go further. The bridge is fun and you are harnessed with your zip gear so no danger of falling off. I would highly recommend it.

Thanks Bons we'll sign up for the afternoon one too. How does weight effect the zipping? Part of our party is pretty heavy but otherwise healthy and under their ample weight guidelines of course but I was wondering if it would cause a problem.

The heavier you are the faster you go. There were a couple teens who were probably about 100 pounds, and they really had to push off hard to make sure they got all the way to the other side. I think they had a weight max and as long as you are under that, it will be fine.

Interesting I was worrying about the wrong person because we have a light person too. Thanks for the information.
