Las Vegas visitors have a brand new way to get their adrenaline flowing. The long-awaited VooDoo Zip Line has opened at Rio Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\"Las<\/a>
What in the hell is wrong with people?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The VooDoo Zip Line may not be the kind of zip line you’d expect. For example, there’s no harness, as with a typical zip line. It’s more akin to a ski lift chair that travels down, and back up, a line. Passengers sit side-by-side, two at a time.<\/p>\n

Riders buzz down the line from the 41st floor of the hotel’s Masquerade Tower to another hotel tower, the 20-story Ipanema Tower. (Worth noting: The Rio’s publicity material says its Masquerade Tower is 51 stories tall, but that’s untrue. The hotel skips floor numbers in the 40s to avoid spooking superstitious Asian gamblers. So, 51 is really 41. Even bigtime newspapers<\/a> get this wrong, all the time<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\"VooDoo<\/a>
This is why they invented the word “eek.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Trust us, 41 floors is harrowing enough!<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at this stomach-churning new Las Vegas attraction.<\/p>\n
