The ride is about 40 seconds long, can reach a maximum speed of 35 miles per hour, and will take thrill-seekers over a lake and down to the beach. Once the ride ends, people will be sent back to the start on a golf cart.

There are two lines for different weight groups. One line is designated for people above the age of 8 and ranging from 75 to 235 pounds. The second line is for people ranging from 100 to 285 pounds.

It opens at noon Saturday. It is $13 to ride, or $30 for three rides, for people staying at the campsite. For everybody else, it is $15 per ride or $40 for three rides.

If you are going to Camp Dearborn just to experience the zipline, be ready to pay $8 up front to get in.
