New for 2014: Sky Flyer – The tower of the ride is a sky-scraping 100 feet high! It has 12 arms on which the seats are held. Each seat holds two riders. Once passengers are safely loaded, the main tower slowly rotates and the arms and chairs are lifted in the air, giving a smooth and enjoyable experience. The ride gives a wonderful feeling of weightlessness.
