Efforts to reposition Acapulco as a favored resort destination among domestic and international tourists took another step forward this week when construction began on the longest zipline over a body of water.

Designed by architectural firm Línea Vertical and to be built by Mundo Imperial, the tourist development division of the Mexican firm Grupo Autofin, the zipline park to be called Xtasea will boast the world’s longest ziplines suspended over water, at 1,800 meters over Puerto Marqués bay.

The project’s developer hopes they’ll be able to break a Guinness World Record.

The park will offer thrill-seeking visitors eight ziplines on which they’ll reach speeds of up to 120 kilometers an hour. It is estimated that 1,600 people will ride the attraction daily.

While the investment in the Xtasea park is private, the state government will invest 33 million pesos (US $1.7 million) in infrastructure surrounding the park, such as an access road and street lighting.
