Manchester Center, VT - Bromley Mountain has announced that is doubling the capacity of the Sun Mountain Flyer, the half-mile long ZipRider thrill ride that debuted in the Sun Mountain Adventure Park last summer.
Built at a cost of $1 million, the Sun Mountain Flyer launches riders from a five-story tower and attains speeds just shy of 50 mph; it was installed in 2009 as a two-line ZipRider, the usual configuration. An instant hit with the thrill-seeking public, the Flyer sold out on virtually every day of operation.
Bromley’s President Rich Wiseman suspected that the Flyer’s popularity might exceed expectations and had the ride engineered and constructed to accommodate, if needed, four lines. The additional two lines are being installed now, at a cost of $500,000, and will be up and running on opening day, Saturday, May 29.
The Sun Mountain Adventure Park, six miles east of Manchester, Vermont, on VT Rte 11, will be open weekends from May 29 through June 13 and daily from June 18. Check Bromley.com for details on all of the rides and attractions, hours of operation and a complete schedule of the summer’s free weekend entertainment.
