![]() A few minutes later, they were flashing cameras. There were workers from the adventure park, looking at me. I looked forward towards the zipline tower, and saw my daughter standing there, facing me. So I was up in mid air, sitting on a bike that was half hung on the zipline. I was still sitting on the bike, which means that the back of the bike was still wedged between the top and bottom cables of the zipline. So the front of the bike was resting on the lower cable. I saw that I was still holding onto the handle bar with both hands, and the handle bar was resting on the lower cable of the zipline, where the front wheel was supposed to be! The front wheel must have slipped out of the cable. It took me a few seconds to refocus my eyes. Then the next second, the front of the bike dipped while I was still holding on to the handle bar. I peddled along and everything seemed fine. The bike moved steadily, and I peddled it like with a regular bicycle. I got on a bike on the other zipline, waited for my harness to be hooked up to the top cable, and started to peddle as instructed. It was actually two separate ziplines, one for going to the other side, the other for coming back. ![]() Unlike a cable car, the zipline does not have a u-turn at the end. I was told to dismount the bike and went on a different bike. Of course I did not rock it, but I paid attention to what he said about riding it steadily. I told the operator about the leaning, and he said I should just ride normally and do not try to rock it. The bike still moved and I got to the other end. It was thrilling to know that I was riding on a cable that was hung up in the mid air! About half way of the cable, I felt that the bike was leaning to the right, so I pushed hard with my left hand on the handle bar to counter the leaning. Once she reached the platform on the other end of the zipline, I was told to get on the bike. The bike looked steady as she rode along the zipline. My daughter got on the bike, and then started peddling. So the bike was like wedged between two cables that form the zipline. The back of the bike was welded with a vertical pipe that was attached to the top cable of the zipline. The metal rims of the bike sat on the lower cable of the zipline. The bike looked like a regular bicycle, except that the wheels did not have any tube or rubber. We had our helmet and harness on, and then walked up the tower. ![]() After that, we went up 300 steps to the tower for the bike zipline. We were given the protective gear and a locker to put our belongings. The Pentagon Walks had 5 aerial rope walks, and they were very exciting and fun, not too easy or too difficult. My 11 old daughter and I reached Chocolate Hills Adventure Park (Chap) at around 3:30pm and bought a package that included Pentagon Walks and the Rush Bike Zipline for P750 each. Haiiist such a waste i really wanted a good pic of the hills from another angle. The staff below told us cameras even go pros are not allowed but the guys on the zip bike said we can. The guys informed us we could bring gadgets as long as there's a strap attached.that was the most confusing part. Then we had to climb up 3 stories high to get to the platform for zip bike. Unfortunately we couldnt take a picture cos we left our fones with our friends at the reception area. After that we immediately had to climb 200+ steps to reach the top to register for the zip bike. ![]() For the obstacle course we were told that cameras/fone were not allowed but a guy will take our photos so we can have a souvenir later. One zip bike and one obstacle course with hanging bridge (both platform and rope) and very short zipline ride (sit-down) will cost 400php. I cam here just to do the zip bike but because of there promo, we had to do 2 activities. ![]()
