Highly praised for its soaring towers, tight pull and unique near-circular shape, Revolution cable park is quite a magical place. With Revolution cable park’s five towers so spaced out, you have plenty of time to boost big, floaty air tricks between any two corners, which is unusual for most five-tower cableways. If you’d rather focus on riding obstacles or developing your riding skills, though, Revolution cable park has plenty of kickers, rails and easy-to-round corners to keep you progressing. Given Revolution cable park’s friendly and knowledgeable staff, you can expect everything from insightful tips to words of encouragement as you enjoy your time on the water — whether you’re a beginner or a pro. If inspiration is what you’re after, be sure to watch park manager Josh Wright ride. He can seriously throw down! And so can the legendary Gator (Erik Lutgert), who rides at Revolution cable park frequently. Just 15 minutes from downtown Fort Myers and Cape Coral, Revolution will celebrate its second birthday this summer. With plans for new obstacles, you can expect to see one or two added before the year’s end.
