Eagle-eyed Dubai Marina residents will already know that a new zipline has been installed
over the Dubai Marina. Brought to you by XDubai, the
people behind the zipline over the Dubai Fountain in 2015, the new zipline is now open to the public, after HH Sheikh Hamdan
shared a video doing the stunt on his Instagram page this weekend:
Building on the earlier archetype, the new XLine is twice the
length, and is two ziplines running adjacent, rather than one. Also new is the
Superman style harness, which allows zipliners to ride Superman-style, belly
down, as they zip from one of the Amwaj towers in JBR, 170 metres in the air,
down to the terrace of Dubai Marina Mall (which means, yes, you are at times
zipping over the road).
But
it’s not just length that this zip line boasts, the 1km line also features an
incline of 16° and reaches speeds of an average of 80 kilometres per hour.
“We wouldn’t be XDubai if we didn’t push the limits of what is
possible,” said Mohammed Javad, General Manager of XDubai. “Following
the success of the first XLine, we wanted to step it up more than a notch and
importantly, give both residents and visitors to Dubai the opportunity to have
a true-to-form XDubai experience” he added. There’s
still plenty of weekday tickets available, but if you’re looking to head down
on a weekend, book soon – several slots are already sold out. Contact us today so we can create this amazing experience for you
