I would love to take that ride down the zip line but since I am well over the 125 pound limit for Tinkerbell I am afraid it would not end well. I would love to climb up there and take in the view though.

Heights like that are a big bunch of nope for me. It is a nice view, though. Does Tinkerbell slide on down to Tomorrowland Terrace after the zipline ride to grab a drink and a burger?

Only on weekends and high attendance days, then it's a lobster roll

Seen those views before online. Looks much scarier than it actually is. I have read interviews from past Tinks who have made the ride and they say after getting past the first time, its a breeze. There is an initial shove out the opening by a helper to help get momentum going down the line. The entire distance is traveled in about 30 seconds and at speeds of 25-30 mph. There are 2 techs waiting at the end to help Tink come in for a landing and disembark.

Here is a pic from Google Earth of Tinkerbell's landing spot.

Has it already been debunked about that rumor that sometimes Tinkerbell is actually a dude flying across the zip line?

Unless it was photoshopped there was a photo posted a while back made with a telephoto lens that was obviously a male. I just thought it might be Tinkerbill, Tinkerbell's brother filling in for the night.

Would like to see a parks blog POV video of the flight...

Here is a link to that post on WDWmagic. Scroll down the page until you get to it.

The Tinkerbill theory has been around for a long time:shrug: From what I have read the line capacity is around 100 pounds so it better be a small guy.

Now , now... if a guy wants to identify as Tinkerbell and fly... no ones going to stop they/them.

I think he needs some larger wings.

It has been debunked.

Don't be a wingist. If Butch meets the weight limitation on the zip-line and other requirements, go for it.

Disney must accomodate. Theres no reason they cant install a heavier tensile zip line to account for his weight and size. Who says Tink must be thin and petite. That outdated mindset must be done away with. Large size fairies unite!!!

Well this thread turned uncomfortable quickly.
