America’s First Underground Zip-Line Opens in Louisville
August 9, 2011 / Kentucky, United States, North America
The world’s United State’s first and only underground zip-line has just opened in Louisville. Located in Mega Cavern, a 27 kilometer (17 mile) long former limestone quarry beneath the Louisville Zoo, Mega Zip offers an exhilarating one of a kind adventure.
The course consists of five underground zip-lines running up to 70 feet above the floor, including a dual zip for racing and three challenge bridges.
Certified guides lead the two-hour tours that will take folks into never before seen sections of this man-made cavern.

Clearly not the first and only underground zip line in the world.
We have had one here in the UK for several years now, and it’s across a lake…
Then perhaps more accurately, the “first and only underground zip line in the United States”, or the “world’s first and only publicly accessible zip-line that requires no prior caving experience”.
Excellent video!
It’s not even the “world’s first and only publicly accessible zip-line that requires no prior caving experience”…caver friend from NZ showed me this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsqX_u0F260
