The United Arab Emirates is bringing even more excitement to the already exhilarating experience of riding a zipline by building the world’s longest and highest of its kind.

Adrenaline junkies will be rewarded with a zip three times the length of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure in the world. The ride will open in December on the United Arab Emirates’ highest peak, Jebel Jais, in Ras Al Khaimah, the northernmost emirate.

While the exact length of the zipline won’t be released until the official opening, Guinness World Records is expected to certify it as the longest and highest. The cable transporting participants is expected to weigh 7 tons and will consist of two lines, allowing friends to race or ride side by side.

Riders will be flying through the air in a Superman position, and the flight will land them on a suspended platform, where they’ll access a second line to head back to the ground. The zipline will be able to host 350 people a day, and the experience is expected to travel at 90 to 130 kph.
