The world's longest zipline: We try out the newest UAE adventure

A world record-breaking zipline suspended 1,680 metres in the sky and reaching speeds close to 150 kilometres per hour is the latest addition to Ras Al Khaimah’s claim as the ‘go-to’ destination for adrenaline junkies in the Middle East.

I hope it was better in person. They seem to have missed a key element of the best ziplines in the world, which is that they need to be *close* to terrain. Anyone who's done any type of proximity flying (wing suits, speed wings, paramotors, or FPV piloting), knows that the sensation of flight is actually greatest when you're close to the ground, or trees or buildings, not high in the sky. It looks like they could have made it come closer to the ground in a couple places, but chose not too. That's a shame.
