One of our team members was invited to the StarFlyer’s grand opening to see what the ride was all about and she reported back saying that it was super fun and way less scary than you think it would be if you just look at it from afar. “You can’t quite feel exactly how fast you are going, but it’s still thrilling enough with the wind blowing on your hair while you take in the amazing view from up there. There were definitely a couple of moments of fear when I started to think “oh my, this is way too high,” but the thrill is exactly what makes the StarFlyer so awesome!” she said.

We took a few pictures to share with our guests and gathered some important information too:

  • Minimum height is 44 inches.
