Dreaming
to fly? to free fall? you can do that at Hurricane Factory Tatralandia, which
is an indoors skydiving tunnel. With the help of a special suite one can
control the wind resistence and do aerial acrobatics! the attraction is located
in Liptov region (low Tetra) near the Tatralandia water park in Slovakia.

Most of
the flyers were youth (and I’ll tell this from the perspective of a parent) one
starts with wearing a special suite.
Then, the group of flyers go into the training
room where they get instructions and watch an instructional video.
Then, they go to a waiting room where the group
sits in a row and the instructor invites them one by one. There’s a timer that
takes the flight time and the operator adjusts the wind speed according to the
weight of the flyer.
The instructor enters the flyer and let him fly
and control the flight while watching and helping.
And he also does a mutual flight in which he
controls them as a pair so that the child feels the potential in the device.
The parents are waiting in front of the transparent device….and take
pictures/videotape. This is quite an experience! that’s how it looks.
Some
logistics:
The flight itself is 2 minutes only! but
getting dressed, ready, etc. takes an hour or tow.
Make an appointment early. When got there
thining we’ll get in and there were only 2 slots available for the children for
the day after(!) only! it is very busy there.
The wind tunnel is very noisy so make sure you
wear earpluggs (provided).
Don’t worry if the children don’t speak
English well, translate the instructions and inside they don’t speak
anyway because of the noise (they do signs).
The flight is expensive. If you go to Tatralandia,
keep the tickets, they might give you discounts. Also, children price is much
less than adult.
