Many amazing, fun activities can be found in Orlando, and some of them are educational. For example, sky diving is fun and thrilling, but most people are too scare to try it. Sky Venture in Orlando, however, allows people to experience sky diving without ever entering a plane. The great thing about Sky Venture is that everyone can try it, so it is a fantastic family activity. The price, however, is steep, but it is not a big deal to most people because they generally try the activities more than once.
The basic package at Sky Venture gives each individual two jumps into a huge wind tunnel, which last for 1 minute each. You may think that 1 min is not much time, but it is; spinning and flying around in the tunnel almost feel like an hour. While in the tunnel, the wind travels at around 150mph, and the entire experience is fun and exciting. Before guests are allowed into the tunnel, however, they have to take a training course and pass it.
Individuals are trained two ways, by watching a video and by listening to the instructor during his speech. The training movie is not too long; it generally gives people an idea about how to position themselves in the tunnel. As for the instructor’s speech, listening to every word he says is very important because he shows everyone the meaning of each hand signal. Knowing what each signal means is crucial because hand signals are the only ways to communication while in the tunnel due to the loudness of the giant fan.
After successfully passing the course, everyone is given flight gear to wear; the gear consists of a jumpsuit, goggles, and a helmet. For the most part, the staff has suites that will fit many body types, so everyone who visits generally has no issues finding a jumpsuit, which fits.
Visiting Sky Venture is fun, but during the summer, the activity is very popular, which means it may take a while before each individual gets their turn to fly in the tunnel. Nighttime is usually when Sky Venture is less crowded; one particular group of people went there during the night, and they only found one other group of people already there. Visiting during the night will not always guarantee fast service and swift access to the tunnel, so keep this in mind.
Spending time in the wind tunnel is exciting and thrilling; there is nothing like floating in the air and doing flips and turns. Following the activity, however, is not a great experience for some people because some individuals exit the tunnel with temporally blocked hearing. Getting blocked hearing varies from person to person; however, it is not a very big deal to most people.
Sky Venture in Orlando is a fantastic activity for anyone who wants to go sky diving but wants to training a bit beforehand. It is also a good activity for people who are just too afraid to jump from a plane.
