Everyone that comes down to fly on SlotZilla on either the Zoomline or Zipline on Monday, August 10 will be supporting a great cause with every dollar of revenue going to St. Jude’s Ranch.”
SlotZilla ticketing, will call and check-in office is located next to the SlotZilla takeoff tower on Fremont Street between 4th Street and Las Vegas Boulevard. Parking is available at Fremont Street Experience parking garage with entrance off 4th Street just north of Carson.
Zipline – Flyers take off from the lower tier of the tower, 77 feet high and zip in a traditional seated-harness position on an 850-foot flight – half the length of Fremont Street Experience – to a mid-point landing platform located between 3rd Street and Casino Center.
Zoomline – Flyers launch from 114 feet high and zoom in a horizontal “superman” position going 35 mph 1,750 feet across the entire length of Fremont Street Experience, and land on a platform atop a newly built Main Street Stage.
Children under 13 in age must be accompanied by a flyer age 13 or over. Flyers must weigh between 60-300 lbs. for Zipline and 100-300 lbs. for Zoomline, with a maximum 6’8” height for lower Zipline but no height limit on upper Zoomline. Flyers cannot be under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

About St. Jude’s Ranch for Children
The mission of St. Jude’s Ranch for Children is to serve all abused, abandoned, and neglected children and families, creating new chances, new choices, and new hope in a safe homelike environment. Children are placed at the Ranch when their parents or caretakers are unable or unfit to adequately care for them. One of the most important features of the Ranch is the ability to keep large sibling groups together when they might otherwise be separated and scattered among several foster homes.
