Donna writes…

Why not think outside the box and have it in a more urban
park area (for example, have two versions that start at
Seattle Center – how fun to zip over the fountain! – and
end
either at the new South Lake Union Park or the upcoming
waterfront park). Going between buildings and through the
urban environment would be a unique zip line experience
like
no other. You would feel like Spidey! Why does it have to
be
in a wooded park?

Luke: Why not a zip line from the radio station to
my
house?

Dave: I like that idea.
