262 feet in the air. Distance of 801 feet on a cable the diameter of a nickel. Can he do it?

This Saturday on August 15th, the master of gravity-defying thrills, Nik Wallenda, will perform an amazing hire-wire walk stretched 801 feet from outside the Front Gate to the Eiffel Tower at Kings Island…with no safety nets or harness…on a cable about the diameter of a nickel. The walk will take place at a height the 30-year-old Sarasota, Florida native has never dared attempt before, a dizzying 262 feet in the air. That’s higher than even the massive new Diamondback!

Advance tickets are just $32.99, so there’s no reason not to witness this history-making feat! Get your tickets online at www.visitkingsisland.com or at your local Kroger or Meijer store.
