SkyQuest in testing phase at Indianapolis Zoo

The Indianapolis Zoo has opened the world renowned Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center.  This exhibit is giving us a never before seen experience with orangutans that is much more like seeing orangutans in their natural environment.  As part of this exhibit the zoo has installed the Skyline so that guests will have an eye level view of these climbing creatures.  The Skyline is the Chance Rides SkyQuest aerial people mover and Indianapolis Zoo will have the first one.  The 4-passenger open air gondolas travel at heights of up to 60 feet in the air around 1200 feet of track, allowing guests to take in the entire Orangutan Center as well as the surrounding area.  Watch this video for a preview of the experience.  The exhibit is open now and the Skyline is scheduled to be open to the public by July 4th.
