Nemer Fieger and other dedicated professionals on the Minnesota Zoo’s Treetop Trail.
“The vantage I have had before from the monorail as a kid is now almost completely new again,” says Jon Wacker, PE. “And that’s going to be very interesting to see, especially how multigenerational groups relate to that up on the trail.”
