An immersive urban skyscraper zipline, which
features a light show and music during each flight, has opened on
Macau.
Located at the Lisboeta Macau, within the famous
international tourism and leisure destination of Cotai,
each Zipcity flight offers riders panoramic views across the areas’s ‘retrospective zone’, which
includes a replica of the iconic Macau Palace floating casino
through to a ‘futuristic zone’ as a time travel experience.
With five ziplines alongside each other,
five riders can embark on the 388-meter journey (the world’s third longest urban zipline)
through the sky of Cotai together, reaching speeds of up to 55 kilometers
per hour.
“I
wanted to create something where the spectacle and awe of the
destination is 99% of the experience,” said Scott Davies, CEO of
Zipcity Macau. “As we operate throughout the
day, we offer guests two different types of flights – a
family-friendly thrilling experience during the day where the
whole family can zipline together as we have five ziplines, and at
night, it turns into an experiential destination that engages
every sense.”
After sunset, special audio and visuals add a
whole new level of excitement to the
experience. As the countdown begins from the 60-metre high take
off tower, over one hundred thousand LED lights illuminate every
inch of the take off tower, platform, cables – even the landing
zone – for stunning effects in sync with an adrenaline pumping
custom-made soundtrack.
All Zipcity tickets include a complimentary photo
and video package. AI (Artificial Intelligence) powered wide angle
video cameras are provided to customers before their flights, and
all the fun and excitement of the Zipcity flight experience is
captured, edited using AI and digitally delivered to the customer
within minutes of their arrival at the Zipcity landing tower.
“We made Zipcity
exactly 388 metres long because it is an auspicious number which
symbolises ‘generate wealth or abundance’ – we want each flight to
bring good fortune during each rider’s stay in this vibrant city,”
added Davies.
Zipcity is a member of ACCT (Association of Challenge Course
Technology) that governs safety and provides professional training
for the global zipline industry.
