If you are talking about the Rowdy Bear attraction, Sky Glider,
it is absolutely not a zipline. Granted it uses a harness but it
has wheels running on a fixed steel track - NOT a cable - moving
with gravity. Wheels, fixed track, running on gravity =
coaster.

Thanks for the info I really had no clue what he was talking
about.
I have seen photos and video of this atraction and while they
are similar they use different tech. but ya, I wouldn't call it
a zipline.

Yep and it has a mechanical lift hill to boot. Granted, the
seat is not traditional but all the other elements = coaster
IMO.
