Zip Line Price Difference

[tomkc1]

For our upcoming Alaska cruise/tour I've noticed there is quite a price difference between the zipline in Skagway and the ones in both Juneau and Ketchican. In fact, Skagway is almost half the cost of the others.

 

Does anyone know why? Is the Skagway zipline shorter or not as good as the others?

 

One theory I have is that there is more to do in Skagway so more competition.

 

Anyone know why the price is so much different? Has anyone seen 2 for 1 zipline coupons?

 

Thanks, Tom

Not sure why the price difference - although as the last link points out, the Skagway company seems to only book through the cruise lines while all the others will take walk ins. I can only guess that the higher priced ones either have more to offer and more overhead - or are just more greedy :D
