A world-renowned high wire artist and Guinness World Record holder recently took on the high wire in a whole new way.

MASHANTUCKET, CT — Last week, world-renowned high wire artist and Guinness World Record holder Nik Wallenda took on the high wire in a whole new way.

Rather than walking across it as usual, Wallenda rode down it on the Foxwoods HighFlyer Zipline while on break from performing with the Big Apple Circus.

According to a release, the Foxwoods Highflyer Zipline is a 33-story high, adrenaline-pumping adventure that propels riders from the top of the Fox Tower to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center at top speed of 60 miles per hour.
