Mystic Mountains


Hello again, on this post I’ll be writing about Mystic Mountains which is an exciting adventure park located in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The Mystic mountains adventure park is a great place to take the family because it has offers unique rides and attractions for all ages.
                Mystic Mountain Adventure Park offers an array of different attractions including the Bobsled adventure, the Sky Explorer which takes guests to the top of the mountain, the zip lining adventure and the infinity pool and waterslide.  Personally, my favorite attraction would have to have been the bobsled because it was not slow enough to be considered as boring, but not fast enough to be considered as too much for children. I would also describe the ride as a unique roller coaster. The rider would be placed in a small bobsled, where they were able to control the speed at which the sled goes. Additionally guests could either ride by themselves, with an instructor or with another member of the group. This makes the attraction ideal for even younger children because the speed is controllable and they can ride with an adult.

I also quite enjoyed the canopy ride which brought guests up the mountain and to the adventure park. A large chair, in which a maximum of four people could be seated, was suspended over a large forest with a maximum height f 700ft. The seat was attached to thick zip line rope and this was the way by which guests were brought to the other attractions. The view was absolutely breathtaking and it was fun for the entire family, as long as none of the members are afraid of heights.

Although the adventure park offered these unique rides, I believe that the prices were slightly over what they should be. Each attraction can be paid for separately or all three attractions can be done together, but before I go over the prices you should be informed that all prices are in US dollars and include GCT. So, for the Bobsled ride the normal adult cost $68.20 and for a child $46. Additionally if you would like to ride a bobsled that takes you on a tour of the Dunn’s river waterfall that could cost $91.50 for adults and $67.10 for kids. In order to ride the zip line it would cost $114.40 for adults and $92 for kids, this attraction also lasts for about 45 minutes. In order to get a tour of the Waterfall while on the zip line the adult price would be $ 142.30 while the children’s price would be $117.70. Lastly for the ride up to the mountain on the sky explorer the cost for adults is $46.20, while the cost for kids is $24. Additionally there is once again the option of getting a tour of the Dunn’s river waterfall while on the sky explorer, so the adult price or this would be $67, while the kids’ price would be $43.
