点评:Our family decided to try the Treetop Adventure while staying At Mahoney State Park. Our adult kids (ages 23,28, 30, and 31), along with my husband and I, thoroughly enjoyed GoApe. It was scary, physically challenging, was also exhilarating.
In preparing for this adventure, I read a lot of reviews, which honestly, scared me. Heck, the waiver alone will freak you out! So, I wanted to make sure and write a review following our experience.
I am 58 years old, overweight, and out of shape. After reading the reviews, I was seriously freaked out. However, if I can do this, you can do this!
Safety was their top priority. We were introduced to what to expect and a mini-safety orientation in a group of 15 individuals. After our practice course, they actually started our group at various courses (2-6). This allowed us to move at our own speed and not get bottled-necked. Like several of the reviews, you CANNOT pass a person if they are moving too slow and will have to wait. However, some of the obstacles gave you an easier way or a more difficult way. You could pass a person at these junctions.
My daughter and I are a bit afraid of heights. You WILL be high up in the trees. Focus on the obstacles and that helps. The workers keep an eye on you from below and will offer suggestions from the ground. It would have been nice if there was a worker at some of the obstacles up with us to offer assistance. My daughter had difficulty moving the trolley on one of the obstacles. The staff provided assistance from below. It took several minutes, but she finally was able to stretch high enough to move it. It did unnerve her a bit though as she was standing on the edge of the platform. Note: they teach you to move your carabiner first, once that is secured, then move the trolley. The trolley is always always always connected to the line. I say this because it really is safe, you are connected to a line by the trolley and also the carabiner.
After each course, you zip line down to the ground. Once down, you can rest, get some water, and then move to the next course, or choose to stop. However, once you start a course, you have to finish as there is no way to get to the ground-only by zip-line.
I am glad I did this and my family most definitely is glad we did this. We were hot, sweaty, dirty, bruised, and sore. However, it was well worth the money. It took my family about three hours to complete all of the courses.
Last piece of advice-when going down the zip line, peddle your feet. It will keep you facing forward so you are able to stay up when your feet touch the ground. I didn’t get this advice until after the fact. 😊
翻译:我们一家人决定在马奥尼州立公园住宿期间尝试树顶探险。我们的成年孩子(23、28、30 和 31 岁)以及我和我的丈夫非常喜欢 GoApe。这很可怕,对身体有挑战,但也很令人兴奋。
在准备这次冒险的过程中,我读了很多评论,老实说,这让我感到害怕。哎呀,光是豁免就会吓坏你了!所以,我想根据我们的经历确定并写一篇评论。
我今年58岁,体重超标,身材走样。看完评论后,我真的被吓坏了。但是,如果我能做到这一点,你也能做到!
安全是他们的首要任务。我们在 15 个人的小组中了解了预期的情况和迷你安全方向。在我们的实践课程结束后,他们实际上开始了我们小组的各种课程(2-6)。这使我们能够以自己的速度前进,而不会遇到瓶颈。就像一些评论一样,如果一个人移动得太慢,你就无法超越他,并且必须等待。然而,有些障碍给了你一个更简单的方法或更困难的方法。您可能会在这些路口超越一个人。
我和我女儿都有点恐高。你会在树的高处。专注于障碍,这会有所帮助。工人们会从下面监视着你,并会在地面上提出建议。如果有一名工作人员与我们一起克服某些障碍并提供帮助,那就太好了。我女儿在其中一个障碍物上移动手推车时遇到了困难。工作人员从下面提供帮助。花了几分钟,但她终于能够伸展得足够高来移动它。但当她站在站台边缘时,这确实让她有点不安。注意:他们教您先移动登山扣,固定好后,再移动手推车。手推车始终始终连接到线路。我这样说是因为它确实很安全,您通过手推车和登山扣连接到一条线。
每门课程结束后,您都会滑索到地面。下来后,你可以休息,喝点水,然后继续下一道菜,或者选择停下来。然而,一旦开始课程,您就必须完成课程,因为无法通过滑索到达地面。
我很高兴我这么做了,我的家人也很高兴我们这么做了。我们很热、出汗、肮脏、瘀伤和疼痛。不过,这钱花得很值。我的家人花了大约三个小时才完成所有课程。
最后一条建议——滑下高空滑索时,用脚蹬。它会让您面朝前方,这样当您的脚接触地面时,您就能够保持站立。直到事后我才得到这个建议。 😊
