Sky Venture question?

[Andrea B]

Anyone participated in this? My girls want to do it, when we go in May - but i'm not that keen. Looks too adventurous for me!!

This question was asked a few months ago and got some varied replies. DH wanted to do this but when we went in September, we went into the observation lounge and it actually looked really rubbish. You have to do training beforehand, after which you get 3 2 minute goes in the chamber. Unless you are an expert, when you are in the chamber the instructor is with you holding you so you don't really do much floating.

DH decided it wasn't for him but I think, like most things, it's down to personal opinion.

I had planned it this year but didn't get around to it, it looks great though and if you go for the basic package you only get a 2 or 3 minute session twice in an hour, you can also just view so if you don't feel adventurous you can just watch.

Thanks for replies - you must be quicker than me a typing!-will probably decide when we get there!! There are always so many things to do that i'm sure we will find something more sedate, and with not so much "hanging" around. Maybe mini-golf at Blizzard Beach!!

MY DS really wants to do this next week when we are there, if we fit it in will let you know.

We found SV really good fun, if a lot harder than it looks. But it is only a session of two one-minute 'flights' in the wind tunnel itself; the rest of the time is taken up by preparation, pre-flight training and watching the others in your group in the tunnel. It is well worth going to watch first before you sign up, but be warned - it is quite addictive once you have done it!!
