My wonderful husband took me for adventure to celebrate our anniversary this weekend. One part of the day we spent riding ziplines through caves in Louisville, KY. Not only was it my first time on a zipline, the Mega Cavern in Louisville is the only all underground zipline adventure.
Due to the nature of ziplining, I didn't get any pictures of me in action. It was a lot of fun though we didn't go down the line as fast as I thought we would. I curled up into a little ball trying to go faster but it didn't work too well really. lol Ziplines are angled down then back up a slightly so that they slow you down a little at the end of the line (to keep you from crashing into the wall or the guide who is at the end of the line to help catch you). The video above is one of the Mega Cavern's promotional video.
Here are some cool facts about the Mega Cavern:
The Louisville Mega Cavern was an operational limestone mine from 1930s to 1970s.
The cavern has over 17 miles of passageways that run underneath Louisville, KY.
The Mega Cavern is classified by the State of Kentucky as a building which makes it the largest building in the state.
The Mega Cavern houses a recycling center. This recycling center is the largest in Kentucky. In fact, it houses more recycling tonnage than all the other recycling centers in Kentucky combined!!
Most of the lights in the Mega Cavern are motion sensor activated to conserve power.
