Zipline planned for Chattahoochee River | Times Free Press

Gilbert said the zipline launch will look like an old water tower with a heron's nest atop it. The launch pad will be 50 feet up a spiraling stairway, with a ladder to an observation deck 10 feet higher, he said. The line will be about 100 feet over the river, he said.
The line will be powered to pull customers across, so it will not rely solely on gravity, which can leave people stranded in midair because of weight or weather conditions, he said. Also, the line can stay open past dark, with participants wearing headlamps, he said.
From the Phenix City landing platform, customers can zip 300 feet down to a newly constructed rafting takeout by the Phenix City amphitheater, where motor-powered boats shaped like catamarans with inflatable pontoons will take them back across the river to the island by the Eagle & Phenix powerhouse, Gilbert said.
