AVALON, Kalifòni—Catalina ap eseye mete kèk zip nan endistri touris afesman li yo ak yon atraksyon ki pral hurle vizitè yo atravè zile a sou yon kab.
Catalina Zipline Eco-Tour, ki pwograme pou ouvri 14 avril, pral pouse moun yo sou kanyon yo jiska 40 kilomèt alè.
Zipline a konsiste de yon ekipay ki konekte ak yon chariot ki kouri sou câbles anlè. Touris yo pral peye $89 pou zip sou prèske 3,700 pye nan senk segments-youn nan yo 300 pye wotè.
Zipline a, ki te koute plis pase 1 milyon dola pou konstwi, vize pou atire yon foul moun ki pi piti nan touris ak yon ti avanti. Nan kòmansman ane sa a, yo te fèmen yon toune kat èdtan nan otobis nan zòn dezè zile a paske lavant tikè yo te bese.
KISA POU RETIRE NAN ATIK SA A:
- —Catalina is trying to put some zip in its sagging tourist industry with an attraction that will hurtle visitors across the island on a cable.
- The zipline, which cost more than $1 million to build, is aimed at attracting a younger crowd of tourists with a little adventure.
- The zipline consists of a harness connected to a trolley that runs on overhead cables.
