A couple links about this zip line at Sun City in South Africa. The maker (UnReal) has more photos and videos.

"UNREAL is currently one of the world leaders in the design construction and utilisation of extreme zip slides. There is at present no one else doing zip slides on this scale in the world especially as a commercial venture."

"PRONUTRO ZIP 2000 - the longest zip slide in the world. The zip slide is 280 meters high, two kilometers long, reaches a speed of 140 kilometers per hour and guarantees a four minute unadulterated adrenalin rush. ... At times 100m high and at other times only 4.5m above the ground. The cable runs from the top of the 280m high koppie and the other is attached to the top of a mast 2km away. "

Dude, that is totally comment spam, and not cool, IMO. I won't downvote, but I wonder if this is allowed?
