Xtreme Skyflyer
Man, nothing says extreme like when they drop the "e" off the word, right?
What we've got here is a 153 foot tall Skycoaster. Riders are pulled back to the vertical spikes (in the picture, they're about halfway there) and suspended there. They pull a ripcord, and down they go, at a speed of approximately 60 mph. They'll swing back and forth until basic physics finally stop them, at which time they'll be brought back to the Earth and continue their day.
This is an upcharge attraction, and the per-rider cost decreases the more people you have (the limit is three riders at a time). Since this type of attraction does take longer to set up, the wait can sometimes be quite long.
That's really all I can say here. I'm not allowed to ride Skycoasters.
