What to Expect from Your Indoor Skydiving Experience?

As soon as you enter the facility: Once you arrive at the spot at least an hour before the activity begins, you’ll be directed to the training room where your certified flight instructor will instruct you on how to maintain a stable body position during the indoor skydiving flight. You’ll also get to watch a brief video on appropriate body positions that allow for an incredible flying experience. Most of all, you’ll be given lessons on how to enter/exit the flight chamber plus significant hand signals, as they are the only way to communicate inside the tunnel which will be extremely noisy. This step, on the whole, won’t take more than 30 minutes.

Put on Safety Gear: As you’re now well aware of the hand signals, body positions, etc, the next step is to get outfitted for your once in the lifetime flight experience. So go ahead and wear the flight jumpsuit, goggles, helmet and earplugs which you’ve received from the facility’s gear up section.

Once inside the Chamber: This 10-meter high vertical wind tunnel (enclosed by acrylic glass walls) is where the actual experience takes place. It’s powered by two massive fans of 400 horsepower each, which results in blowing air up to an astonishing speed of 200 kilometers per hour. This generates a wall-to-wall stream of airflow, thus allowing you to safely soar high above the floor and fly or (literally) float in the air.

The Grand Finale: Feel your heart thumping as you enter the wind tunnel by leaning forward onto the powerful air. Although you’ll find it extremely difficult in the beginning, you’ll soon start to enjoy the experience with your expert flight instructor by your side. As the powerful airflow will suspend you high above the floor, this alternatively gives you the chance to take in all fun and thrill of freefall and skydiving in an exceptionally safe environment. There is also a tunnel operator to ensure that the speed of the wind is in sync with your body weight as well as skill levels. Whether you’re a pro skydiver or not, your instructor will help you to perform a variety of daring aerial maneuvers with lots of twists and turns (however based on your interests only).

Views: The views from the tunnel may not be as compelling or widespread as that of a real skydiving adventure, but it’s still amazing as it lets you enjoy the panoramic views of Magic Planet and beyond.

Photos & Videos: As the tunnel comprises a high-end photo/video system, this allows you to take home the finest quality souvenir images of your iFly flight experience. But, this is not included in your ticket price and hence additional charges apply for the same.
