'The Screamer', described as the ride 'that makes Christians curse', lived up to all expectations. On the face of it, the experienced Vaughn looks okay, Garfene is obviously terrified, and André squeezes his eyes shut and prays for the ride to end.

Two thousand three hundred feet up in the cool, picturesque hills of Free Hill, St Ann, overlooking the beautiful resort town of Ocho Rios situates a heaven-sent tropical paradise that is H'Evans Scent.

Dubbed as "the ultimate experience", we here at TEENage were eager to experience first hand the full H'Evans Scent experience and trust me we were not disappointed. The park, which is now in its third year, consists of three zip lines ranging from 300 to 1,100 feet in length, a giant swing installed two months ago, dubbed 'The Screamer' (for obvious reasons), as well as All Terrain Vehicles (ATV) rides through exotic trails.

Imagine flying over spectacular valleys of lush vegetation at high speeds with the cool mountain breeze blowing in your face. Sounds exhilarating doesn't it? This is what the first zip line called the 'Leap of Faith' had to offer. However, as thrilling as that was it was only a taste of what was to come as we at TEENage found out.

The second zip wire, known as the 'Short and Spicy', proved true to its name, particularly the 'spicy' part. Trust us, though it may look similar to the 'Leap of Faith', there are several 'spicy' surprises along the way making the 'Leap of faith' seem like a walk in the park. Thinking that we had reach the pinnacle of thrills, we were surprised to hear that we were yet to encounter the 'mother' of all thrills.

TEENage writer Andre Marriott-Blake pushes off from the 'Leap Of Faith' tower, 40 feet above the ground.

We can honestly say that there is no better name for the giant swing than 'The Screamer'. Unlike the other two rides, 'The Screamer' can accommodate three persons at a time. Once on this ride there is no turning back, as the TEENage co-ordinator, Monique Edwards can attest.

A hydrolic jack lifts the occupants 60 feet, high enough to view the mountainous terrains of H'Evans Scent and then releases you 150 feet into the air at bullet speed allowing you to experience something (no one word can decribe the feeling) that can make even the most daring of daredevil's *lo** run cold.

Thrilling is an understatement when describing 'The Screamer'. After all that adrenaline rush, to our delight, the day was still not over. We then made the trek to the ATV bike trail. There are three trails: the first is a practice trail, where riders are required to complete a total of five rounds so they can familiarise themselves with the bikes.

On the second trail riders are led to the challenge course, which eventually leads them through the rugged terrain of H'Evans Scent. The trails are great with fabulous views, and if the bikes should fail you (or you fail it) at anytime on the trail, a tour guide is always there to get you back on track.
Once again, the TEENage co-ordinator can attest to this.

There is one attraction that we did not get to experience, but by the looks of it one can only assume it's a most thrilling ride, possibly "the most thrilling at H'Evans Scent", according to Derrick Evans, owner of the property.

"It is the longest zip wire in the island (1,100 feet!)," and according to Evans, "the ride is so fast that you have to be at least 140 lbs to experience it."

Evans also made mention of a new attraction that will be unveiled within the next six weeks. "It is a new attraction that everybody will love," Evans assured.

He was very cautious not to let the name of the new attraction out. However, he did give TEENage a clue to tickle our minds: "it is one of the fastest growing sport in the world." If you want to find out what it is, then we suggest you visit H'Evans Scent just in time for the surprise.

The entry fee for the resort is $3,700 per person, which is inclusive of refreshments and full access of the rides. Also inclusive in the cost is a nature walk where you are granted the opportunity of walking through an orchard and sampling various fruits.

The fabulous, spacious and well-kept grounds added to the overall feeling of tranquility that every family or group of friends can enjoy. To make your appointment just call 847-5592 or visit the website www.mrmotivator.com.
