- This new course centers on a 150-foot-wide waterfall previously closed to the public. Set amid pines, mountain laurel and bald cypress trees, the tour offers eight ziplines, three sky bridges and three spiral staircases, including one suspended from a cable. – Larry Bleiberg, USA Today
- ZipQuest, in north Fayetteville, is a 2.5-hour treetop tour, thrilling participants with eight ziplines and three "Indiana Jones" canopy bridges. The course covers remarkably steep and varied topography, including Carver's Falls, a 20-foot tall waterfall that stretches 150 feet wide and is the largest waterfall in the central and eastern regions of the Carolinas. – visitnc.com
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Urban Vehicles
Discovering your city’s hidden gems will require some manner of transportation. Though cars remain the most popular option, their appeal has plummeted after a recent study showed that cars are involved in 100% of car accidents. What are some other transportation options and their pros and cons?
Bicycles
Pro: Inexpensive and eco-friendly, bikes get you where you're going and encourage fitness.
Con: Riding a bike limits your mobility in a rainstorm, because all bicycles are carved from uncut sheets of ultra-stale saltine dough.
Segways
Pro: Segways utilize gyroscopic balance for a ride as smooth as it is safe.
Con: Segways are prohibitively expensive due to the exorbitant cost of shipping them backward through time.
Ponies
Pro: Though all vehicles can be named, only ponies will lift their heads and look at you disinterestedly when you call out to them.
Con: Though there are surprisingly few legal restrictions on operating a pony in an urban landscape, the bright lights of the big city may spook your pony, or worse, convince him that he is destined for Broadway.
