On the lift, you are seated base back towards Branson, so you can enjoy all the sights as you glide over Lake Taneycomo. Once at the top of Mount Branson, without getting out of your seat, you can enjoy panoramic views of Lake Taneycomo, Branson Landing, and the entire historic downtown area before returning to the landing. On the way back, enjoy an exhilarating, fast-paced ride to the launch pad where the ride began.
This awesome zipline is the only line that zips over Lake Taneycomo, and the lift makes this ride an option for those who are not interested in strapping on the zipping harness. Perfect for families and large groups, this zip offers guests an excellent experience!

Eagle Falls Zip Line - 1 of 3 - Eminence, MO
For Easter Break, 2016, we visited southern Missouri.
This is Eagle Falls Zip line, in Eminence, on the banks of the Jacks Fork River.
Four of us rode the five zip lines.
Our son recorded these on his GoPro HERO 4 Silver.
Our ride order was the same on each of the zip lines: 1) daughter, 2) son, 3) wife/mother, 4) husband/father/me.
We have ~ 45 minutes of video.
Our son’s zip line rides are at the following points in each video:
Eagle Falls Zip Line - 1 of 3 - Eminence, MO
(
Zip Line 1: ~ 3:30
Zip Line 2: ~ 13:00
Eagle Falls Zip Line - 2 of 3 - Eminence, MO
(
Zip Line 3: ~ 9:00
Zip Line 4: ~ 16:00
Eagle Falls Zip Line - 3 of 3 - Eminence, MO
(
Zip Line 5: ~ 6:00

Eagle Falls is the first zip line in Missouri and was amazing!!!
We rode in a light rain; we all think we zipped just a little quicker because the zip cables were wet.
Eagle Falls has five zip lines.
I only had the phone tracking our GPS for the latter three.
For those we covered .3 miles, and at speeds up to 17.6 mph!
The team members riding with us shared the first zip line is the longest, so the math works that we zipped at least .5 / half a mile, possibly longer. The site states : “Approx. 4,000’ ” which is almost .3/4 / .75 mile.
We were there on Easter Wednesday, in spring / before the summer season started, so we had the place to ourselves.
We were there ~ 1.5 hours total, and on the lines ~ 45 minutes.
-------
On our trip, we also:
- zip lined at Eagle Falls -
They also have night zips -
- visited Grand Gulf State Park (
- saw Laura Ingall-Wilder (and Almonzo's home) (
- visited Bass Pro Shop in Springfield (
- stayed at Round Springs Retreat
( and which is just north of Eminence (
23 stories high & 50 mph on Ziprider in Branson
This video captures a ride on the Vigilante Zipride on July 2nd, 2011 at the Shepard of the Hills compound in Branson, MO. Riders strap in at the top of the 230 foot high Observation Tower, and zoom down a quarter-mile stretch at speeds reaching 50 mph. Definitely NOT for the feint of heart!

Bouncin' Around Branson Missouri #15/50 | The State Race
What would you say if someone asked you to try the United State's first outdoor wind tunnel?..
thestaterace.com
instagram.com/thestaterace
------
We were not prepared for Branson, Missouri..
Coming from the east coast, trips to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were common.. however, when ExploreBranson invited us to Missouri for a weekend of adventure, we were shocked. We would soon discover that Branson, Missouri is possibly the HOTTEST tourist destination of the Midwest! We’re talking excitement to the next level; buildings invaded by a giant King Kong, a giant meatball tunnel, year-round carnivals, mountain roller-coasters, oh, and did we mention SKYDIVING??! Well, let us explain.
While we were in Branson, a company called Fritz’s Adventure invited us to try out their brand new installment of Aerodium, the United State’s first outdoor wind tunnel. We kindly refused….SIKE!! We showed up the next day full of adrenaline and excitement as we took to the sky for an INSANE skydiving experience (Hunter’s first!)! The next day, we got to see the rest of the adventure park at Fritz’s, which involved a 4-story indoor ropes course, a freefall, and literally CLIMBING THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING!! Finish that off with a quick stop to Hurt’s Donuts, then a quick caving expedition with some new local friends (Missouri is the cave state, after all), made for a pretty EPIC weekend. Check out our photos below!!
