Zipline, cruise and lunch

[DEMO MAN]

I wanted to see if anyone is up for doing a zipline up in Ocala/Gainesville area on November 7th. I figure we can meet at the zipline, then cruise together to a local spot for lunch and some pictures at both places. I've talked to a few and everyone so far seems to be interested so lets see how many Vipers we can bring to the party. This is close to JAX area so you guys need to come down. The website is www.zipthecanyons.com and we will figure out a great place to eat afterwards. I think the zip takes about 2 hours or so. I will work on a group rate once we know how big a crowd we have.

Good, I'm going to start a list so I can keep up with how many, helps to negotiate a group discount. Please add your names to the list if you plan to attend.

Updated list, looks like it's going to be a good turn out. If the zipline isn't something you want to try maybe just come for the lunch.

Hopefully more will sign up soon.. Maria is really looking forward to this...

[98intrigue]

Thanks Ryan, more is always better when it comes to Vipers.

Another update for the list, looking like a good crowd. Please make sure you check out the website for the rules for the zipline. I know they require closed toed shoes and I'm sure there are a few other things to know before we all show up. I'm going to call them today and start working on a discount for us. I was thinking we start around 10 am if that works for them and then lunch afterwards at some local Ocala restaurant. Looking forward to this, should be great fun!

I was asked if maybe we should do an early lunch first ( 11-11:30 ) since depending on the weather we might smell bad ( not all of us of course ) after the zipline. I think that's a great plan, if ok with all I will set it up that way. Let me know your thoughts. David

[ViperRT98]

I like it....

[DEMO MAN]

I spoke to Zip the Canyons people and the group rate is $85 per person vs $96 so it saves you $11 per person. Only problem is it needs to be paid for with a single card, saves them transaction fees they say. I have no problem paying for everyone in advance as long as you confirm to me your going. You can pay me back when we meet at lunch. They can take up to 10 people in each group and it's no problem to break us into 2 equal groups and we would start about 20 minutes apart. Lets try and firm up the exact count next week and I will get the dates and time set up. Lets shoot for lunch at 11/11:15 so we can all eat and not be rushed. I was thinking 1st group for zipline at 1:00 and next at 1:20, you guys think it over and let me know how this works for you. David

The pictures don't do that color justice, I seen the one here in Orlando a few months back and that's the only color I would take over my Toxic Orange. I keep hoping the factory will make one, those Medussa cars need a hoop, but I'm sure Alex could add that. I'm tempted but then I look at that price and think about how many mods that will buy for my Gen 4.

The factory is not coming out with a vert Gen V. Beth put a hoop in Medussa #1 and it looks fantastic. I saw it in person last month.

I seen that online also, it did look fantastic! I kind of figured wanting a factory vert was wishful thinking although I never did quite understand them not having it the second year. It just seemed a natural addition to the line up to me. I have to think a little more about that Medussa, I would like a Stryker Orange one and that looks like the only option out there. Do you know if the Gen 3/4 hardtop would fit the same since they used Gen 4 tops?

That would be a Bernie/Courtney question. You'll be able to ask Courtney next weekend as she's coming to this with me :)

Just a note to everyone coming to Harrys, I called to let them know the size of our group so they are ready for us. Parking is hit or miss near Harrys, there is a farmers market that Saturday so we may need to park in one of the lots behind Harrys. They won't have an arrangement to seat all of us at the same table but we will be in booths or tables near each other. The zipline is only 15-20 minutes up the road so we need to leave by 12:30 to get there on time for first group to go out at 1:00. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Going to be a fantastic day!

[ViperPete]

There is typically pretty decent parking downtown even though the farmers market is going on. There is a parking lot behind harrys that can accommodate us all.

I'm hoping that 10-15 spaces magically appear right on the square.... Vipers invade Downtown!

[LATAMUD]

So much fun hanging with everyone, always a good time.

Enny said she wants to go tandem so I think she's ready for skydiving next.

Post pics if you took any please.

She's only doing skydiving if she doesn't have to cross a swinging bridge to get to the plane, lol. We had a great time and I have a few videos from the end that I will post soon. Hopefully others have some pics and video with us zipping.

I will keep checking this section for new upcoming events. Looking forward to join the next ones. Happy Veteran's Day to all those who serve! Cheers!
