Around the Globe in Zip Lines
| August 25, 2017
The Monster
The Monster is the name of a zip line located at the Toro Verde eco adventure park in Orocovis, Puerto Rico. The Monster is the certified Guinness World Record holder for the longest zip line in the world. It stretches an astounding 8,300-feet, which is the equivalent of 28 regulation
football fields. After you ride The Monster, you get a flight certificate listing your achievement and what speed you reached on the ride.
The highest speed that you can reach on The Monster is an exhilarating 95 mph. Before you even get on the ride, you have to conquer your fear of heights by walking across a huge suspension bridge to get to the launch pad.
