Right now we are seeing Sawyer on his first ride on the new ‘zip cruise’, which is a 60-foot zip cruise embankment. It’s just going to be a lot of fun for the staff.” The zip cruise was just installed just days prior to the annual Nebraska City festival. Mackrill: “The kids hop on side on a platform and they zip across over the nice soft mulch to the other side, so it’s become a really popular item here. Arterburn: “You just sit on that, stand on it. What do you do? Mackrill: “Just sit on it and go.” Arterburn: “How about that, just zip back and forth. I would get Sawyer’s grade on  this, but he has already took over to the spider web. Mackrill: “ I asked him if it was one thumbs up or two and he gave me two.” Also new to the trail is a 32-foot embankment slide that uses the natural topography. Arterburn also tested his senses in listening to the forest. He said the forest was all about the AppleJack Festival.
