One of my best memories of Disney...and also one of my worst sunburns!

Thanks for posting. We forgot how much fun we had there. It was really a great way to truly relax after a day at the park. I'm sure compared to TL and BB this looks tame. Here is the differrence for us. Each year we went to River County. We have been to TL and BB twice.

I don't know how anyone managed to avoid accidentally kicking people in the face on the way down that zip line.

Thanks for posting a link to this video. Whenever I'm at Fort Wilderness, I make it a point to walk over to RC and peek through the fences. You can still see the area with the double slides! (I think that's it at minute 3:48 in the video.)
