Is anyone familiar with air florida helicopters on International Drive?

I googled this web site and was unable to get much info.

If you have flown (or are familiar) with this organization, would you mind sharing your experience with me? We are very interested in tour #3. The only downfall I can see thus far, is that it looks like their helicopters (R44 series) only carries 3 passengers at a time. We are a family of four so will have to split up.

Also, other then their $5 off coupon (on their web site), does anyone know where else we could get coupons for their tours?



Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

My daughter and i did that same trip 2 years ago,your family will not fit in the helo,also there is a weight limit that that bird can handle,The view's are awsome....Wow i got some great pictures !The are several more air sevices in the orlando one in 192 comes to mind as they have a much bigger bird that would handle your family i think.Look around as things in orlando change at the drop of a hat.We got a birds eye view of Ioa/us seaworld ,the convtion center and the interstate.....it was over way too quick for the money...It was one of those things you do once....Hope you have a great trip!

We did one on 192 just pass Old Town. It too only fit the 3 people, at least the one we went in did. It had cost us $90 for all 3 (I had a coupon from the internet at the time), and this was in 2002. The ride was about 15 minutes. We went over I-Drive, some of 192, Epcot, DTD, and a few other parts of the general area. It was really neat, as none of us had been in a helicopter.

I have searched the internet for the larger helicopters on the I-192 area that can take four passengers but am unable to locate a company name or web site.

Does anyone happen to know the name or web site of this company?

What's the real price for these rides? They advertise 15.00 on 192.

mbb: thanks for the info. Still not able to find anything that will fit the four of us.

it looks like for $15 per person (plus tax/tip) you get a VERY quick ride, but a ride nonetheless.

If unable to find anything that will accommodate 4 pax, we will simply go with the first web site I posted. The tour #3 really interests us since it is 18 miles in length and we will be able to see Universal and SeaWorld (we have yet to visit either ). And DH can simply go with one child, then I could go with the other.

Perhaps a DISer from the Kissimmee area may be able to assist in giving me a name/web site of a organization that has larger copters?
