sjdavison Inner circle Surrey, UK 1379 Posts	Posted: Sep 30, 2005 12:59 pm 0 Does look fun. Not as much fun as a real sky dive though! (probably the best thing you can ever do. Apart from a flawless Simple Switch, that is. Need to get out more) Simon Simon, 32, UK www.sidavisonmagic.com

Jordini Inner circle 2765 Posts	Posted: Sep 30, 2005 08:27 pm 0 It's a vertical wind tunnel, otherwise known as a HUGE FAN. The POINT is, I want one.
hype New user Oshawa Ontario Canada 28 Posts	Posted: Oct 2, 2005 07:45 pm 0 Me to. There are places around where you can go do this. There is one in toronto but that is a little to far for you "The hard must become habit. The habit must become easy. The easy must become beautiful."

Roland78 Special user Torino, Italy 567 Posts	Posted: Oct 3, 2005 08:32 am 0 Never seen something great as this. I want one. And I want to do it with the soundtrack used by Copperfield when he flies on stage. I wonder how can you stay in the middle on the fan and don't fly away like a lifeless leaf and how much power you need to run the engine of the fan... But yes, I love it and I want it in my garden. Now. Davide
Corey K Special user Rhode Island 502 Posts	Posted: Oct 3, 2005 05:35 pm 0 Yes! This is awesome. I did this in Vegas when I was there and it was so much fun. The closest thing to real flying, other than actual skydiving, which by the way if you haven't tried than I highly recommend you do! But for $50 I think this is a great alternative for those who lack the "parts" to do the real thing Corey King

Joe Russell Veteran user Buffalo NY 397 Posts	Posted: Oct 25, 2005 08:26 pm 0 Their is also an airplane that nasa runs, you can buy a ticket and what happens is the plane free falls but your in a huge padded room and the plane actually falls faster than gravity so you float just like the astronauts, it lasts only a couple minutes but they can bring it up and do it again. Now that would be fun, No wind No strings Just complete weightlesness Who is Tattoo Joe?

Now that would be fun, No wind No strings Just complete weightlesness That is not flying however, that is floating. You just kinda bounce around in mid air. Sure it would be fun, but you wouldn't have any kind of control as you would with the vertical wind tunnel. Not to mention how terribly sick you might get.
Joe Russell Veteran user Buffalo NY 397 Posts	Posted: Oct 26, 2005 03:30 pm 0 My point is that you become absolutly weightless, and I don't thing you "bounce around" you have pretty good control Who is Tattoo Joe?
Skarn New user 54 Posts	Posted: Oct 26, 2005 05:26 pm 0 Yes, it's called the "Vomit Comet"!

magiCAD Regular user Seattle 166 Posts	Posted: Oct 27, 2005 02:02 pm 0 That's an awful lot for 30 seconds. I'd hang on to my cash. -Rich

Ummm, care to explain how that is possible? Hehe, because the only way to experience 0 gravity within the Earths atmosphere is a ride in the Vomet Comet (or similar airplane). That is why the NASA astronauts use it! Skarn It's better to burn out...than to fade away....
