I went to Royal Gorge last summer but I decided I would post the trip now. I was on my family vacation and this year we were in Colorado Springs, Colorado, then we saw an add for Royal Gorge so we decided to go. We thought it was just a place to sight see but when we got there it also had a small amusement park. The park was nothing to get excited about, except for the scenery and the huge canyon, but then I saw it. It was a "sky coaster" just like PKI's Xtreme Skyflier, except for one thing. As you swung out after the initial drop you swung out over the canyon! I went on it and it was the scariest, most exciting ride I have ever been on, when you swing out over the 1,200 foot drop it is the most terrifing, yet exciting experience in the world. No ride has ever made me scream like that ride. So if your ever in Colorado Springs stop by Royal Gorge to ride the world's tallest skycoaster.

I was just in denver and went on it. If anyone thinks they know what a ride is, you have not seen or been on this. good time. go0O0o0O0o0O0od times.

Fun stuff how much did it cost??

Its only 900ft I thouhgt it was taller than that. WHat would be sweet is like a vertical drop coaster off that sucker.

I don't remember how much the skycoaster cost but park admission was 20 dollars. They also have some other stuff that you don't have to pay for like the world's tallest suspension bridge, a thing that takes you down into the 1,200 foot gorge, and an ariel tram that crosses the river, which sways if its windy so its kind of scary. The bridge was also cool because you could drive across it and the part you drove across was only wooden with gaps. It kind of gave you a creepy feeling looking through the cracks in the bridge. The park wasn't any thing major by any means but it was still a cool thing to do for a day.
