Zipline help!

I need some help choosing a zipline. We are visiting Branson September 2nd thru 6th - myself and my two daughters (14 and 12). None of us have ever ziplined, but I've always wanted to try it. I noticed there's several companies in Branson, so I'm looking for suggestions as to which one we should choose. Price is important, and I'd like the tour to have more than one zipline with a scenic view.

Here are the various zipline threads with links to websites for more info.

IF YOU ARE GOING NORTH ON 65 FROM BRANSON GO DOWN THE BIG HILL AND HALF WAY UP THE NEXT HILL WHERE THE ZIP LINE TOWERS ARE. THE ROAD IF RIGHT THERE. IT IS GRAVEL NOW, BUT JUST A SHORT WAY DOWN AND PART IS ALREADY PAVED. IF YOU ARE COMING FROM THE NORTH YOU PASS THE TOWERS, GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL AND MAKE A U TURN AND GO BACK UP THE HILL TO THE TOWERS. I WAS THERE A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE .

This is taken going south on 65 so the entrance is on the other side. I thought maybe the billboards might help for a heads up. You can see the orange cones on the entrance under the first billboard. I left the one picture large so you could see better.

I work with the Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours located on US Hwy 65. It's north of Branson about 7 miles. Our Canopy Tours are great for the family and there is a family pass for the Flying Prospector Canopy Tour. It's a guided interactive tour in the outdoors and if you go to BransonZiplineBlog.com you can see a lot of pictures to help get a feel for the experience and the fun.

Sorry everyone is having a hard time finding the entrance. Currently MoDot is not allowing us to put any signage (even directional) at the turn off from Hwy 65.

Also if your headed north, it is maybe 30 yard after the guard rail ends.

You've gotta try the Extreme Zip-Rider at Shepherd of the Hills. It launches from just under the Observation Deck on the tower and it's incredibly cool!

There's more info posted earlier in a previous thread (see post #3 for the links); Vigilante Zipline is part of Shepherd of the Hills.
