About the SkyDiver
The SkyDiver is a free-fall attraction like
no other. An extreme amusement ride combining
high-octane thrills with uncompromising safety
standards.
To ride guests are suited up in our comfortable
harness and are attached to a cable hanging
from the main tower. After hooking-up they
are connected to a tow cable which pulls
them to the top of the back tower.
Riders are winched to a height of 60 meters
and see the park unfold before their eyes.
To start the free fall, riders can either
pull a release handle or for a faster throughput
the operator can release the riders via a
magnetic release. They then drop in an exhilarating
arc, all the while supported by a multitude
of cables attached to the main tower. The
difference in the SkyDiver experience is
that while swinging, a winch at the top of
the main tower draws in the swinging cables,
so the last swing is as exciting as the first
and the ride never feels like the attraction
is slowing.
At the end of the ride the main cable is
rapidly lowered which makes stopping riders
a quick process and increases throughput
as well as adding to the exhilaration of
the ride. After coming to a smooth stop guests
are disconnected from the cables, switch
places with oncoming riders and watch a video
of their flight.
