Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours Announces New Flying Prospector Canopy Tour


Branson, MO – (Thursday, March 18, 2010) – Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours at Wolfe Creek Preserve has added the Flying Prospector Canopy Tour to its line-up of authentic eco-adventures. Designed for all ages, this one-and-a-half hour canopy tour has visitors soaring through the trees over multiple ziplines and skywalks on a breathtaking tour of the Ozark Mountains.

“Our Flying Prospector is a great introduction for visitors new to canopy tours. At an hour and a half, the Flying Prospector is a full-scale guided, canopy tour with many of the highlights of Wolfe Creek Preserve featured, providing guests with another exciting, memorable vacation experience for one of the best values in the industry,” says Emma Hamilton, general manager. “We have created a high-quality, low-impact adventure, which takes a shorter amount of time, allowing visitors to dip their toes into the world of eco-adventures and find out just how much fun this unique experience can be.”

As an added value, this tour offers a family pass. Families wanting to go on a canopy tour together can take advantage of the Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours special pricing for the Flying Prospector. “We’re pleased to offer a family-pass exclusively for the Flying Prospector. The pass is $199.99 for two adults and two children seventeen and under,” adds Hamilton.

“With the addition of the Flying Prospector, we’re now offering visitors three different ways to soar above it all,” explains Emma Hamilton. “Each of our eco-adventures is designed to give Branson visitors the opportunity to experience an authentic canopy tour on one of the best courses ever built.” Along with the hour-and-a-half Flying Prospector, Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours offers the thrilling Blue Streak Fast Line, a non-stop, single-line zip from the top of the mountain to the bottom platform, complete with a very surprising dismount.

The premiere experience offered by Branson Zipline, the Ozarks Xplorer Canopy Tour, is an inclusive, interactive two-and-a-half hour guided tour that takes visitors over suspension bridges, platforms and multiple ziplines, allowing time to explore the features of the region and discover the secrets of Wolfe Creek Preserve. Guests will enjoy the pristine beauty of the Ozark Mountains from the unique perspective of gliding through the canopy of trees, past rugged bluffs, and above the forest floor, accompanied by guides, who share topographical and ecological insights while bringing to life the history of Wolfe Creek Preserve.

Branson Zipline & Canopy Tour at Wolfe Creek Preserve, opening May 1, is located on US Hwy 65, just seven miles north of Branson shows, theaters, and attractions. Tours are being booked now at www.BransonZipline.com or by calling 417-561-2500.

Branson Zipline receives some more toys!

Over the past few days, Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours has completed a few finishing touches at Wolfe Creek Preserve that we are excited to share! Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours has officially paved the road that will lead from Wolfe Creek Station and across Wet Weather Spring to any of our three tour starting points, ensuring that you can enjoy the natural beauty of the Ozark Mountains without the inconvenience of having to travel along a bumpy, muddy trail.

However, Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours is even more excited about finally receiving the custom-built tram that will transport guests from Wolfe Creek Station. The tram can easily carry 15 passengers and supplies and is a blast to drive and ride in. Trust us, we have been “testing” it out non-stop!

That is all for the moment, but progress is picking up as our grand opening draws near, so be sure to check back within the next few days for more updates!

Branson Zipline Unveils a new tour option

As our grand opening draws ever nearer (May 1), we have added a new, exciting tour to our initial line-up of activities. The tour will be titled the Flying Prospector and offers a 1.5 hour, truncated version of the Ozarks Xplorer. Whether you have experienced the Ozarks Xplorer and are looking for a somewhat different experience at Wolfe Creek Preserve or simply don’t have the time to take in the full 2.5 hour Ozarks Xplorer, the Flying Prospector should help us be able to provide well rounded options to our customers. Be sure to check back regularly, as we plan to post more information on the Flying Prospector as it becomes available.

On the construction front, we are continuing to put finishing touches on a number of areas of the property, though most of the major additions and projects are near completion.

Branson Zipline Attaches Roofs to All of Its Zip Line Towers!

Over the past few days, Branson Zipline and Canopy Tour has taken great strides toward completing its first zip line course at Wolfe Creek Preserve. The helicopter has came and went once more (sorry to all those that missed the action live), and we now have roofs atop all of our towers! More than being a symbolic measure of progress, the tower roofs make for great views on the east of Highway 65, near Bonniebrook.

As we draw nearer and nearer to our grand opening we are continuing to add specialized crew members to ensure that the production is not only completed on time, but safely as well. Additionally, we are continuing to build our team for when we eventually open – those interested in applying for a job with Branson Zipline and Canopy Tour are encouraged to view current openings online.
