    Default Zip Southern Leyte - the country's best - opens at Agas-Agas!


    MANILA, Philippines - Filipino extreme sports lovers need not go abroad to experience a jaw-dropping and nerve-wracking bungee jumping.



    In building the country’s highest bridge in Southern Leyte, the DPWH has made it possible for extreme sports aficionados to jump from the 90-meter high Agas-Agas Bridge. The recently inaugurated structure promotes transportation, environment, tourism and sports and is now the Philippines’ newest tourist attraction.

    The country’s longest, highest, steepest and most exciting zip line had its debut recently – the Zip Southern Leyte!

    And everyone’s itching to experience the ride of a lifetime!

    Zip Southern Leyte had its soft opening last April 15, 2011 and guests were able to try out the zip line for the first time – for free!

    Now, hear this: with a length of almost 1 kilometer, it’s the longest in the country today. Average ride duration: 30 seconds.

    It’s at the highest elevation. One “flies” over Agas-Agas Bridge – now currently the tallest bridge in the Philippines – at a take off pad with a height equivalent to a 30-storey high building.

    It’s the steepest. Having the largest angle of decent makes for having speeds upwards of 110kph, depending on body weight. A rider weighing 40kgs reaches a max speed of 100kps; one weighing 65kgs can reach speeds of up to 140kph.

    The Zip Southern Leyte is just one of the major attractions at the Agas Agas Adventure Park which will have full operation by July 1, 2011 in time for the province’s 51st founding anniversary. Other extreme sports facilities like bungee jumping, downhill skateboarding, rappelling, ATV (all terrain vehicle) and cable car are in the pipeline.

    The Agas-Agas Adventure Park is a 2-hour drive from Tacloban City via the Maharlika Highway at the famous bridge connecting the towns of Mahaplag, Leyte and Sogod, Southern Leyte.

    Imagine how fast its going hehehe... 30 seconds for the 800+ meters ride,
    and to think, E.A.T Danao will reach 45sec for the 480 meters suislide.

    Good Luck sa mga mahimsugon
