Ever wonder what it’s like to fly like a bird – at extreme speeds? Xtreme Skyflyer gives you the experiences of hang gliding, skydiving and swinging – all in the same ride. After you get strapped into the harness – face down, mind you – a lift cable elevates you to a peak of 154 feet above the ground. At the top, the rider operator will instruct you to pull the cord. Because you pull the ripcord yourself, you’re in control, right? Um, no. Not, really. The second you rip the cord, gravity kicks in and you free fall at speeds up to 50 miles per hour down, down, down toward the earth, skimming it by mere feet. You then swing back and forth until it’s all over. Whew! This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll never forget.
Xtreme Skyflyer is not included with park admission; a separate fee is required to experience this heart-thumping attraction.
Height Requirement: 42” minimum
The giant arch that riders swing from is a site for miles around and serves as an anchor for riders in groups of one, two or three are locked into their safety harnesses and lifted higher than nearby roller coasters. The slow pull to the top accentuates the drama about to unfold. Once at the top, one of the lucky riders must pull the cord to initiate the dynamic rush. The ride experience has a terrifying initial freefall drop before the pendulum effect kicks in.
Following the gravity-defying ascent on the other side, guests take in a few more casual swings before being lowered back to earth.
*Additional fee required for this ride.
Rider Safety Information
- Min Height
- 42"
- Xtreme Skyflyer is a high-thrill Skycoaster attraction made to simulate flight. Riders are hoisted 153 feet into the air. They control their own ride experience by pulling the ripcord, initiating their tethered freefall descent and flight. The sensation of flight as riders fall is similar to skydiving and hang gliding, with riders reaching speeds up to 70 miles per hour.
- Riders wear a full body harness that supports the rider in a prone position. The harness is connected to the flight support cables.
- Guests are required to have a minimum of one functioning leg and by reason of the restraint system inherent to the flight suit, it is necessary that the rider possesses two arms sufficient for proper functioning of the flight suit to be maintained. Lower extremities must be sufficient enough length to be contained and restrained by a leg strap.
- Proper functioning of the flight suit must be maintained for riders without appropriate center of gravity.
- Guests with a cervical collar, neck brace, broken collar bone, braced arm cast, full arm cast, or full leg cast are not permitted to ride.
- Alternate access available at the ride entrance. Riders must be able to walk independently or be assisted by a member of their party.
- Note: This is an extra charge attraction.
