The closest to Disney, as we will have to take a cab. Where, and how much does it cost?

If you are looking for the sky coaster (looks like a giant swing to me) it is located in Old Town. They used to have bungee jumping there but I think they took it out. Old Town is on 192 a few miles from Disney property. Not sure of the cost but there are discounts around in various tourist books.

Yep, Old Town has a Sky Coaster (giant swing thing). It doesn't have bungee jumping, but it does have something called The Ejector Seat which is really fun and absolutely terrifying - even to watch! They strap you in and pull you way down (like a sling shot) and when it releases you go flying straight up in the air! WAY UP! This thing is TALL! And then you sort of bounce up and down until they start to pull you back down slowly so you can get out. I thought I was going to wet my pants waiting in line for the thing! It's way taller than the Sky Coaster. I think it cost around $25 because I think my DH and I paid about $50 to do it together. I'm not sure on the cost of the Sky Coaster. Old Town is really easy to get too from WDW. It should be a pretty quick cab ride and the driver would certainly know how to get there without a problem. Getting a cab back would be easy too, because there are always lots hanging around. There are also lots of shops and restaurants that might be fun to check out.

You can take a cab, or if you have a flex ticket, you can ride the shuttle bus. The cost is $35 for the Sky Coaster, less if you are a student, or before 6PM. The Ejector Sling is worse than terrifying! There is also a mechanical bull, and lots of other things to do there.

Old Town is a fun place. I used to go over there at least once a month for the weekend (live a little over an hour away) . They have so much to do over there, lots of rides, nice shops and many places to eat. You can get a tattoo or piercing also. :eek: If I remember right they also have a "club" where you can get some drinks and do some dancing. I have not been there in about a year though. I hope to get back there soon. :)
