Sky Venture just off I4

[finishrich]

Does any one have information about Sky Venture, What's there?, cost etc?

[finishrich]

It's ok i've found their web site at skyventureorlando.com. It's $38.50+Tax but they have a $10 discount coupon on their website very thoughtful.

That's what we like - people who answer their own questions before we get a chance to!

But you'll notice by the posting times it took me 2.5 hours to find what I was looking for.

Blott - have you been there?

I've been on Sky Venture; great, especially if you have the hang of it...if you pardon the pun. If you're like me, you'll end up floating all over the place looking like a discarded rag doll.

Sky Venture is basically a VERTICAL WIND TUNNEL that offers the experience of a simulated parachute jump. Each participant is allowed 2 'jumps' of 60 seconds each, put the whole session (including training and suiting-up) takes an hour.

If two or more of you are going, be sure to take a camcorder with you to shoot each other in action. Sky Venture themselves offer a Video for an additional fee ($16, I think) but the camera angle is fixed and nothing special. They allowed us to film with our camcorder, but from the 'inactive' spectator side of the tunnel (with equally good views). So, it will be better if the participants in your party stagger the sequence so that they are in different groups going in, thus giving the others a chance to use the camera.

Our 4 girls (age 11-16) went in when we were there last week - thoroughly enjoyed it. We got the video for $16 which covered all 4 of them. We didn't find the website before we went but did find some discount coupons in the usual coupon booklets so saved a little bit.

Me? Off the ground? Never! [msnoo]

I read this and went to the the website and downloaded the voucher. We made use of the coupons during the first week of October and it was Brilliant!!! Everyone enjoyed the experience, this is definately worth a go. [clap][clap]
