Do you touch the water while going across?
No need to worry about getting your feet wet; you’ll be gliding well above the water’s surface.
Is the zip line still available for use during racing?
Yes! We will be operating the zip line during racing at many events.

We recommend you dress for the weather in clothes that are comfortable but not too loose. Secure footwear is required (no flip-flops, crocs or sandals without a back strap). You’ll find more important information here to ensure you have a great RIVERSPORT Adventure!
Can I zipline while pregnant?
Anyone who is pregnant or who has a pre-existing medical condition can not ride the zip line.
Do you hold on to anything while riding on the zip line?
You may hold onto your zip tether but that is completely optional! Feel free to soar like a bird.
Can I shoot video while zip lining?
Video cameras aren’t allowed on the zip line unless prior arrangements have been made.
Do I have to wear safety gear?
You’re strapped into a safety harness so you’re free to enjoy the ride!
Can I still zip line when the weather is bad?
In the event of inclement weather, the SandRidge Sky Zip may close for part or all of a day. We typically close for the day if the forecast includes:
• Chilly temps – 50 degrees or less
• High winds – Sustained speeds of 20 mph
• Heavy rain – 80% chance or higher
