Again, the corporate link , since I like this one so much.

Scattered through the area of the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail are little “challenges”: a rock climbing wall, some hollow logs for the smaller kids to slide down, and a show based on the movie Brother Bear. Everyone’s favorite is the zip lines. The Disney Lies website describes them thus: “A simple but entertaining ride, guests are allowed to hang from a rope attached to a zip line as it speeds down a low hill, and then hold on for dear life when it comes to a sudden, chiropractor-pleasing stop. When this ride first opened, any guest could partake of its pleasures. But its addictive thrills led to long lines, forcing Disney to impose height and age restrictions in an effort to cut down on traffic. Because the ride continued to be over-attractive, these restrictions have had to be refined to the point that, at the time of this writing, it can only be used by 36″ tall, eight-year-old girls.”

They’re exaggerating, a little. Lewis was just barely tall enough to ride these for the first time, and found them thrilling.
