You should also plan on wearing comfortable clothing as you will need to wear a flight jump suit over your street clothing. In preparation for your Ripcord flight, you should remove all jewelry. We were able to speak with one of the SeaPlex staff members and reschedule for Day 7 of the cruise, so all was not lost. It’s not so much that the flight is weather dependent, but you need to go outside to access the flight chamber, and all outside decks were closed this day of our cruise. We were initially booked for Day 2 of our cruise, but due to extremely rough seas, our flight was cancelled. Ripcord by iFLY is available for pre-booking in your Cruise Planner, so we would suggest doing so as spots are limited once onboard the ship but not impossible to get. So, even though you will be able to watch your instructor perform these tricks, you yourself will not be able to release your Spidy skills during your time in Ripcord.
It does take training and expert skill level to be able to perform flips and tricks however. In fact, in our group we had a few children and a woman who was probably near 80 years old. Aside from some physical restrictions, essentially anyone can fly. Then, get ready for the time of your life as you experience what it is like to fly with no parachute!Įxperience is not necessary as you will be given a briefing prior to your flight with all the safety instructions. Once you enter the chamber with the trained guide, the tunnel operator adjusts wind speed based on your weight and skill level. The flight chamber, the enclosed capsule in which you fly, is powered by a vertical wind tunnel that creates a cushion of air allowing you to float.
You can, of course, purchase an additional 2 minute flight for $40 to advance your skills and fly like the pros. This session is available to pre-book in your cruise planner or can be booked once onboard the ship pending availability. Included in your cruise fare is a complimentary 1 minute flight session in this wind tunnel with an experienced flight guide.
