We did the extreme thrill pack which is the roller coaster zip line, the panther pounce, and the duel zip line. Its about 35 minutes south of Orlando and in a really remote part of St. Cloud so make sure you have gas. Its in a beautiful park, the lodge where you check in was huge and the staff was super helpful. We waited for our "bus" to drive up and take up to the zip line. First off you need to climb 7 flights of stairs three times. Just be aware if you have bad knees, a bad back, or a hard time walking upstairs. We did the roller coaster first and weve done a lot of the zip lines and this is nothing like it. Its a lot slower at first, but then takes of in a bunch of up, downs twist and turns. Its an amazing and once-in-a-lifetime experience. The panther pounce was amazing once you got the courage to jump off a seven-story building. My wife, myself, and my friends managed to jump off, but quite a few people chickened out. The duel zip line was amazing, and it was very long and you really felt like you got a great ride. Our staff was amazing the 2 guys were best friends and a great team. They were so patient with the kiddos in our group and super sweet with all of us. The young lady took amazing pictures and was super great with the kids. We tipped all of them which is customary so bring some extra cash. We will be back to try the 7 other zip lines and fun stuff. We did try out their restaurant and got the Blue Burger and Florida Burger. We asked for them medium and they were overcooked, chewy, and bland. The mozzarella sticks were decent, and so were the fries. We paid $30 for 2 burgers and some mozzarella sticks. I wouldnt eat there again, a lot of money, and just not great.

I found this place after googling "rollercoaster zipline" after seeing a video of one on Facebook (not theirs). Apparently its the only one in the U.S., and there are only 4 in the world total (as of right now)! Better yet, it was less than 2 hours from where my family vacations in Florida each year. That said, going there this year was a no-brainer. We did the thrill pack. We arrived for our 9am departure a half hour early and were met by friendly staff members who got us checked in and ready to go. Youll jump on a bus and go for a quick ride through a wildlife preserve out to the site of the obstacles. We saw a couple animals on our way, including a few baby gators. Our tour guide was Garrett (hope Im spelling that correctly). He was awesome!!! We did the rollercoaster zipline first, then the panther pounce, and finally the big long zip line down to the end. I had a little butterflies for the rollercoaster zipline having never done one like it before, but its not bad. Its VERY fun!!! The panther pounce is tougher than it looks. I didnt think Id fear the drop at all, but when I got up there I was proved wrong. I didnt back out, but I needed a little push assistance from Garrett, who was more than willing to help me. Im glad I did it, and next time I will jump off it on my own without any encouragement! Last was the long zip line down, which is about 1/4 mile long. Its the longest one Ive ever done, and I loved every second of it. We will be returning to Forever Florida again next year on vacation. It was a blast. Also next year Id like to try their restaurant. Looked good, but we had so much food to eat at our condo still before going home in a couple days.

Be careful, your child has to be 8 year old to come here, if they are not 8 you cant do anything. I called the reservation line asking to go zip lining, some how I got scheduled for a horse back ride. I though it must me both but when I got there, it was just horseback riding. I filled out the e-waste online and it let me submitt them, with no problems. There system didnt catch the mistake. When I got there I was informed that there was no zip lining in the horseback tour. I asked about zip lining and was told that my reservation was for horseback. I checked in without a problem, and was told to sit and wait. After waiting for 10 min the manager came over and told me that my youngest daughter cant go because she is 7 and there insurance only covers 8 year olds. It doesnt matter that her birthday is in 2 months and she met the weight requirements. All they could do was give me a rain check. They dont give refunds, even if you paid 10 min ago. The rain check is good for 2 years, they dont care of your on vacation and dont know if you can come back within 2 year. If you dont use the rain check in the 2 years you just loose out completely. I tried my hardest to get some of my money back to salvage the day, but to no avail. I asked if they could just take 20 or 30 % and just give me the rest nack so I could take my children to do somthing else. The manager was super pushy she was in my face and rude. We left with nothing. Nothing to prove we actually have a rain check. The manager just said to call the reservation line when we wanted to reschedule.

The weather was lovely. The people were very friendly. The place is beautiful. We saw at least 7 male peacocks in full feather impressing 10 or so females, right outside the car windows. That alone was spectacular. We saw several gators, exotic birds etc. The money is used to preserve this lovely place. The actual zipline I would rate as a three. Its tall pole structures with cables strung in between. There is little to see below you except thin forest and grasses. No ponds or creeks or animals to see. We have ziplined in several places and Durango, CO is by far the very best. Flagstaff, AZ has a nice combined course of ziplining and other challenge course obstacles. This one was rather boring compared to others. The gentleman who were our guides did a very nice job. Overall it was a nice experience. Oh, getting there is a bit of a challenge. St. Cloud, Florida has a stop light every block it seems and the traffic was frustrating. Enjoy

I want to give huge shout out to the Forever Florida Staff! The day we made reservations there was thunder storms and were not supposed to go out on the zip lines because theyre made of metal and youre pretty high up, and that could be a recipe for disaster if lightning were to strike. So when there was a break in the weather the ENTIRE zip lining crew pitched in to get us through the zip lining tour as quick as possible. It was a little rushed but I would deff prefer a rushed tour than a rain check considering almost everyone in our group was not from florida, and we were from boston! I want to say thank you to the entire Forever Florida Staff for making our visit worth while and for going the extra mile to take care of us as customers, especially because we traveled from so far a way! Extremely friendly staff, very knowledgeable, and professional! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to go ziplining! They even have a zip line roller coaster!
