We went as a group to Mystic Mountain on Sunday, Jan 17. It was stunning! It is in my favorite city, Ocho Rios. It's next to Dunn's River Falls and across from Dolphin Cove. After you park and pay to get in the sky lift takes you to the park. The view is spectacular! It is very serene. You can see the road coming up from the town of Ocho Rios and the ocean all the way across to the hotels. Upon reaching the park you can do the Jamaica Bobsled Ride, Swim in the Pool, do the Zip Line etc. We did the Bobsled Ride first. It was great! At first scary but after getting the hang of it, it was full speed ahead. You go at your own pace up to 25 mph. Of course i probably went 2 mph at first but then i felt, hmm this is not so bad after all and then it was full speed ahead, except for the corners of course. After the Bobsled Ride we did the Zip Line. Now that was something we alsmost died for. (literally) To me it was a great experience. Beautiful but scary. We were zipping along almost like Tarzan on the vines. At one point we had to free fall down a rope. That took a lot of internal talk after walking back and forth for a few minutes. A major drop just holding on to a rope. Most of the time i screamed and kept my eyes closed. The entire tour is approx 25-30 mins. At the END of the tour i thought, this was something I could get used to. The view was spectacular and it was a firing adrenaline rush. Mystic Mountain gets a thumbs up from me!
