What was our ride like?
I ABSOLUTELY recommend going at sunset!!
Our ride began as we entered one of the 42 fully enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas.
We settled back and enjoyed the everchanging views around us.
How are the views?
Standing 200-feet above sea level, the views are unforgettable! You had views of the city as well as the beach.
The sunset was stunning.
How long is a flight?
A flight includes 4 revolutions and lasts about 10 – 15 minutes. Someone got off after one rotation so we started over and ended up getting 6 rotations.

Nope. They never place you in a gondola with other groups.
