River Rider
The River Rider is a ride that is 100 square miles. On this ride you will be able to glide down the rivers of the fertile crescent on a boat, then dropped off on a zip line, and be able to para-glide to see the rest of the wonder that the Fertile Crescent shows. At first you will start in the Taurus Mountains, where you can see the snow capped-peaks, the vegetation everywhere, and the rivers near it. The rivers are the Tigris and Euphrates river that travels towards the Ancient Mesopotamian civilization. Along the river, you will see many villages. Nearby, you can also see the towering Zagros mountains. You can get out of the boat and climb high up and zip line to Israel! On the way you will be able to look over the land and see the land of Canaan. Nearby is the Dead Sea and the stretch of desert where the Israelites fled from Egypt. A platform in the distance comes up rapidly and you are put into a para-glider. The para-glider is controlled by a guide next to you. Once you start gliding over the river, the guide points out landmarks everywhere. The Pyramids of Giza and the gigantic statue of the Sphinx sit right below you. The cataracts of the Nile are also featured below where where you can see the rushing waters. One of the cataracts has a landing pad where the ride ends. Once you land the harness is taken off.
