$30 for 1 person flight
$40 for 2-person flight
$45 for 3-person flight

I just went on it on Saturday; it was not as thrilling as I thought it would be. But it is fun to go on.

Not a discount, but two coupons. I went on it with these two girls I knew and the one was griping my hand/arm so tight I had a bruise afterwards. But yea it was fun, if you dont have the girl next to you cutting off you surculation. :oops:

There is a height restriction, not sure on age, I think height is like either 42 or 48 inches. That is of course along with all the standard health restrictions, and no loose articles what so ever, usual common sense stuff.

While our 120 footer is fun, 150 is quite a bit better (arches like CP, SFStL and a few others), I still havent ridden a 180 footer (SFKK, Kennywood, MiAdv), though the 300 footer is godly (Million Dollar Mulligans right next to old town in Kississme, FL)

There is both a 100Meter Sling Shot (about 365 feet you get shot up), and right next to it is a 300 foot SkyCoaster. Do a google search for old town and 300 foot sky coaster (I'm in a hurry else I'd do it myself and post a result or 2), there are a whole lot of good reviews and pics of it.

I think they are around 200ft. Thats what I think though, there taller than ours. I wanna go on the freefall they have there. You just jump like 150 ft or or so into a net. W :shock: W

Me and my fiance did the ejection seat in the Dells and that was crazy. They have a vide camera inside the "cage" and we just had to buy the tape. It's hilarious.

Yeah that freefall you're referring to is the SCAD tower. That looks like a ton of fun. I've done the Skycoaster but that's it. This park in the Dells is where we went: http://www.extremeworld.com

SCAD is by far the best freefall you'll ever do. I know someone who has done Skydived and done SCAD and they say it's not even comparable, SCAD gives a far better feeling of Freefall. Luckily I did SCAD for free when they had the full sized one set up there in 01, of course like everything else at IAAPA the total cost to ride it was $0.00 :)

they need to tear that down noone does it and it is enough room to build a compact inverted coaster (Mind Eraser)

I haven't done Dare Devil Dive before, so I was wondering do they put like the bungee cord thing around your feet or something??

It's not bungee jumping. You swing through the air Superman Style with a harness holding you to the two cables.

How it works:

You get all strapped in at the platform on the ground. They pull you up backwards between the two individual towers. They do a countdown (3...2...1...FLY!) and you swing down underneath the horizontal platform and go back and forth until they lower you to the ground.

I think I saw that when I went to Orlando. I think it is the shame shape as ours, NOT an arch. I remember eating at a Denny's next to that park. Does this sound right?
