The Alligator Capital of the World announced Wednesday that the Croc Rock has arrived. The interactive experience allows visitors to climb, cross a bridge, then zipline.

Guests will climb the 32-foot Croc Rock hooked and secured into an auto belay safety system, before crossing a 150-foot swinging chain bridge then riding a 350-foot zipline.

The Croc Rock is also unique in that it is a replication of a real rock, with artists mimicking local sandstone and carved natural hand holds, which gave the structure an incredible natural appearance, Gatorland said.

“Our goal was to offer a different, dynamic and interactive experience that combined the thrill and challenge of three different adventures,” Mark McHugh, president and CEO of Gatorland, said in a news release. “You won’t find this anywhere else in Florida but Gatorland!”

Croc Rock is located next to Bobcat Bayou. Information tickets and pricing can be found at the Zipline Depot inside the park, Gatorland said.

Climbers must be 36 inches tall and weigh no more than 275 pounds. Tennis shoes are required, and guests must sign a release of liability waiver.
