A pair of tourists from Tennesee try out the new 850-feet-long SlotZilla Zipline at the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas, Wednesday, April 30, 2014. A higher and longer 1700-feet-long Zoomline, which will propel flyers in a horizontal "superman" position at speeds up to 35 mph, is expected to open in June. The zip-line, part of the $12 million SlotZilla project, opened April 27, 2014.

For five months, SlotZilla has reigned over the Fremont Street Experience, waiting for the first riders to take flight. In late April, the massive zipline opened for business, launching brave folks 850 feet down the pedestrian spectacle and adding silhouetted strangers to your view of the canopy. SlotZilla’s upper “zoomline,” 114 feet high and 1,700 feet long, is expected to begin giving Superman-style rides in June.
