BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Imagine darting along, 50 mph, nearly 82 feet above the ground across a 1,300-feet long zipline. Now, imagine doing it backwards, upside down or even flying "Superman" style with someone right there beside you.

Come mid to late November, Red Mountain Park will be able to make that happen for you.

The park, which since 2008 has been growing and expanding in an attempt to revitalize one of Birmingham's historic landmarks, is currently building the Kaul Adventure Tower.

The park is already home to the nation's first universal access zip-line adventure, known as the Red Ore Zip Tour, which has already attracted over 8,000 riders; the Hugh Kaul Beanstalk Forest, a one-of-a-kind tree canopy ropes course; and 11 miles of hiking and running trails.

The Kaul Adventure Tower will soon join the park's system of seven zip lines and 10 platforms.

Sean Condron and his crew of Beanstalk Builders, the company building the project, said the work is 75 percent completed. Condron said they expect the construction will be finished mid-October and the tower will open to the public in mid to late November.

Once finished, the giant structure, which resembles a tree with leaf-shaped platforms, will include multiple climbing and repelling walls. While geared toward beginner-level climbers, there will be an area for more experienced climbers as well.

Unlike other zip lines in the park, this will allow guests to ride side-by-side or have someone film them while riding. The mega zip will also feature a new harness system that will allow riders to travel backwards, upside down, or even "Superman" style.

Condron said they are taking every measure to ensure the safety of all riders and climbers. As with existing zip lines in the park, riders will be double clipped to the line in a harness.

In addition, because riders could reach speeds of up to 50 mph on this particular line, Condron and his crew are implementing a gravity break to stop the rider before he or she reaches the end of the line.

Instead, riders will swing back and forth, slowing themselves before coming to a complete stop.

"As always, safety is our number one priority," says Condron, "after that, we just want people to come out and play."

Condron and his crew also constructed The Beanstalk Journey, a massive zip line park in North Carolina.

The staff at Red Mountain Park hopes the new attraction brings more visitors to the park.

Although runners have been utilizing the trails for several years, the park has only officially been open two years.

"Generally speaking, when Birmingham residents hear about Red Mountain, they think about the area of town close to Vulcan Park but, here we are, an area of land double the size of Central Park," said park spokeswoman Kate Bradford.

Bradford says additions to the park like the Kaul Adventure Tower and the new 6-acre Remy's Dog Park help spread the word about Red Mountain Park and its available facilities.

The park looks forward to completing three additional features within the next 18 months, Bradford said. The park will replace their gravel parking lot with a formal lot, as well as construct a new entrance façade and a pavilion where the park will sponsor events.
