    Wow the view from the top is amazing I've never seen the whole New York skyline before so it was amazing to be that high! It was a super chilly night so the winds were intense at the top but nothing like a beautiful view of Paris to make it okay! Thank you letting us stay at the top for 45 minutes!

    just like remy from ratatouille

    Flew up in the air! Super chilly, wind smacked us in the face but it was a breath of fresh air. Fourth times the charm. 13/10 would go again. Wish this thing lasted even longer so I could take a cat nap up in the air

    Our party of 4 visited StarFlyer on 04/14/2023. No one said us that we have to have receipt to enter the StarFlyer. We had bracelets and thought it will be enough. Once the employee at the entrance asked us for receipts we we t inside to find it and then came back. One our friend came later and the employee closed gates right in front of her. We started to ask them open gates and allow our friend to come in so we planned to have a ride with the party of 4. Once employee declined this option we asked to let us go and then we will have another ride with our party of 4. After employee asked supervisor to come. Then the supervisor Kaleb went out and asked what's going on. We kindly asked to let our friend in or let us go so we will be able to have planned ride. He didn't let us go. Moreover, my friend asked Kaleb: "are you forcing us to ride"? He answered "Yes". Guys, what's going on? Seriously?! After we were forced to ride we spoke with manager Mark and we asked Kaleb to come yo us and bring his apologizes cause we all felt scare after his words. But he told that Kaleb doesn't wanna do it and moreover Mark didn't bring his apologizes too. It's awful, cause how can you feel safe when management doesn't respect their customers and FORCE then to ride??? Guys, where is the customer service?

    My son and I really enjoyed this ride! In fact, it was on my bucket list of things to do. It was around $12 per ticket, kids have to be 44 inches to ride. You get a great view of Orlando from the top! It feels very safe. You can ride again for a cheaper price once you have a bracelet on.

    My Amazing Brother and I rode the Orlando Star Flyer after enjoying dinner with our wonderful spouses nearby. I was a bit hesitant after seeing the height and advertised 60 mph speed coupled with the recency of a meal but I figured why not. Tickets are sold inside for around $12.50 per person. You'll get wristbands and make sure you keep the receipt as you'll need to show that later. I think the wristbands are in case you want to ride again which comes at a discounted price. Get in line and the anticipation builds. I emptied pockets to my Super Cute Wife's possession as you can't have anything in your pockets during the ride. The line moves fairly quickly as each ride is about 4 minutes and very well ordered. Once you are close you are grouped in twos, show your wristbands and receipts, once the prior riders exit, off you go. You then are directed to your chairs. They have convenient baskets to put shoes or sandals, hats, etc. You'll be returned to the same exact baskets upon return. Once the ride starts you'll slowly go higher and get to appreciate the views (we rode it at night) of Orlando as you get spun, the ride gets higher (about 100 feet I'd say?) and the motors twist you gently a bit to face out, in, directly down, and you will spin fairly quickly. We got stretched out by the centripetal force outwards from the center (not at all unpleasant) a good ways as we rode. I thought it was great, with a smile from ear to ear. My Amazing Brother also had a great time. Too quickly it was over and back to our starting spot we went. But it was a fun ride and I'm glad we did it.

    The Orlando StarFlyer is the "world's tallest swing ride" standing at 450 feet in Orlando. I purchased the tickets online ($10) for a $2 discount but they also have a ticket office there. Inside the ticket office they have multiple lockers were you can leave phone, wallets and more. It's not recommended to ride with valuable stuff on you. Theres usually a line but once you get to the ride they have double seats so my boyfriend and me were able to seat next to each other. It moves up and down and rotates around the giant tower at speeds of up to 45mph. This is definitely a fun experience for kids or adults. Once you get out the ride there's a bar called "I-Drive Star Bar" we didn't get to visit it, but it seemed crowded and pretty fun. This was definitely fun and I'll totally come back and bring the rest of my family. ESPAÑOL El Orlando StarFlyer es el "paseo en columpio más alto del mundo" y se ubica a 450 pies en Orlando. Compré los boletos en línea ($ 10) con un descuento de $ 2, pero también tienen una oficina de boletos allí. Dentro de la taquilla tienen múltiples casilleros donde puedes dejar teléfono, billeteras y más. No se recomienda viajar con cosas valiosas sobre ti. Generalmente hay una fila, pero una vez que llegas al paseo, tienen asientos dobles, así que mi novio y yo pudimos sentarnos uno al lado del otro. Se mueve hacia arriba y hacia abajo y gira alrededor de la torre gigante a velocidades de hasta 45 mph. Esta es definitivamente una experiencia divertida para niños o adultos. Una vez que sales del paseo, hay un bar llamado "I-Drive Star Bar" que no pudimos visitar, pero parecía abarrotado y bastante divertido. Esto fue definitivamente divertido y volveré por completo y traeré al resto de mi familia.

    THIS WAS AWESOME + SCARY AT THE SAME TIME! The StarFlyer is located within Icon Park and is 450ft high and goes approx 45 mph!! Amazing view of Orlando when up at the top. You can either purchase tickets in person or online for a slight discount. I was looking for something new and fun to do for the hubs for his birthday and stumbled across Icon park and this giant swing. I purchased tickets online since i didn't know how busy it would be when we got there. Purchasing tickets online is easy and you can print from the email that they send you or show your ticket on your phone when you arrive. When you arrive, go into the ticket booth area to show your voucher. They will then print you a receipt that you then take to the entrance for the swing. Absolutely nothing is allowed on the swing when you ride -- you have to empty your pockets, no phone, no cell phones, no flip flops (obviously).....and I'd almost recommend not wearing your sunglasses because I held onto my on my face in fear they were going to fly off. The lockers they have available in the ticketing area are not available at this time, instead they have large metal buckets next to each swing where you place your belongings. The swings are 2 seaters and numbered -- the swing stops at the same number that you were at when you took off, so you don't have to worry about your belongings being next to someone else when the ride stops. Parking -- there is a parking garage or parking in the lot. We parked in the lot and walked around Icon park after the ride. If you're looking for a drink while visiting, they also have a bar attached to the building that you can visit.

    Always a great time. Good atmosphere and great drinks at the star flyer bar. We enjoy the thrill and adventures and this is a great place to enjoy a little bit of everything!

    Ok this is not as crazy as it appears, it's a little more than a swing in the park being it travels around at 60 mph and oh yeah it does this at 450 feet in the air lol. It's really a bargain at $13 per person with same day repeats priced at $8 per person. It's open till 2:00 am - there are plastic bins located on the ground for each swing to store your flip flops, cell phone etc in - to be honest I should of had my cell in my hand to snap a few photos at the top but the hype prevented me for fear of dropping it. If you like swinging this is the worlds tallest so it's something you must do if you're in the area. My next ride will be at night since the thunder and lightening shut the atttraction down as soon as we exited the ride..

    My husband loves to ride Orlando's "Tallest Swing Ride in the World". I can't ride on this swing, because I fear for my life, and I know my heart can't take it, (Lol). This monsterous machine stands 450 feet high, and towers over everything in the area, and all neighboring areas. I enjoy the bright, colorful lights, watching people as they get on, and off the ride, and of course the bar. While my husband enjoys the ride, I get to take advantage of the bar. The bartender is awesome. I tell him what I got a taste for (sweet, fruity, and strong) and he blends, or shakes it up for me. The bar makes as a great trade off for me, as I get to stay on land, while my hubby is flying high.

    I stayed at The hotel which was walking distance to The Icon Park and Starflyer. This place is super cool. Originally we thought we would just take a Look, but it looked really fun and we decided to buy tickets and stand in a line. You have to remove anything that is not attached to you (purses, phones, cameras, hats, glasses..) into the bucket with your number which is the number of your spot, and it all stays there literally on the ground for you to pick up after the ride is over. So..not afraid of heights, have no motion sickness, but I got somewhat uncomfortable with the wind. You can't feel it on the ground, but up there, there is definitely a breeze. It's one of those that have to, have to and I repeat have to been tried, but I am just not eager to do it again.

    Jamie G.

    Pros: This was an excellent once in a lifetime experience, it's both intimidating and exhilarating. The ride takes you up 450 feet in the air and spins you around at 60 miles per hour. Cons: People with motion sickness or a fear of heights may not want to ride at first, however it's wasn't really as bad as I thought it would be. Don't attempt to bring your phone on board, it may fly out of your hand. People: Good Process: Good Product: Good Quality: N/A Quantity: Good Value: Fair Cleanliness: Good Ambience: Good Timing: Good Attention To Detail: Good

    This ride is HUGE! This is probably the largest swing ride I have ever seen. The area is pretty distinctive. You walk across the area with most of the restaurants on I-drive, you can't miss it. You walk into a room first to receive your ticket. The tickets are $12 each and with tax for 2 people it's 26 dollars. Once you pay, they give you a ticket that you hand to the man that is getting everyone prepared for their spot in line. The line is usually longer at all times of the day, it seems it'll be that way for the summer time. Once you reviewed your ticket for your party; you get in line and wait your turn. The ride is quite fast and takes you very high up! You can see the whole city if you're not afraid to look up. It spins you around and might make you nauseous. SAFETY: I spoke with a manager after my ride and asked why my seatbelt wasn't checked before we took off, and he said the way the system works is that the ride itself won't lift an inch off the ground if the system isn't telling them that someone isn't buckled in. I was not happy with the fact that nobody came to check me, but he reassured me that not everyone gets checked for the reason I just explained. I would suggest to new comers into Orlando, or anyone native looking to have some high air fun!

Friendly staff, functioning rides & great theming all add to the experience. With Velocicoaster opening up in 2021 & not having been since, I was really looking forward to it. I was expecting a lot & that's exactly what it provided! It's by far one of the coolest roller coasters in FL. It has flips, rolls, heights, crazy speed & is relatively smooth. Without a fast pass I was able to ride twice on a Saturday morning. I especially love Dr. Doom's drop tower & the Spider-Man ride. While totally different experiences, they're both fun. I like how the drop tower is reversed, as it shoots you towards the sky & slowly lets you down. I just wish you went up more than once. The Hulk is also a classic. While it was a little more rough than I remember, it's the same adrenaline-pumping coaster that you either love or fear. I have a soft spot for Seuss Landing so I love walking through. Looking at the life sized characters & all of the colorful sets bring a smile to my face. The aroma from the food stands also add to the experience. I've grown up visiting all of the theme parks in FL & would say that Islands is towards the top of my list. If you love roller coasters, it'll scratch the itch. If you're into Marvel, you'll be drawn right in. If you're looking for a hit of nostalgia, you'll find it here.

We had a beautiful day to visit and smiled throughout the day. Some of our best moments were walking through the various city streets and seeing musical performances and dancing. The walkways were wide and we were never on top of other guests. Most rides had reasonable wait times and/or offered single rider options. The locker areas for cramped, but I appreciated how many of the wait queues were indoors, keeping us cooler and away from the rain. The Harry Potter sections were amazing, just amazing. I couldn't have imagined how it would have felt being in the middle of the space. Restaurants, both sit down and quick service, were scattered throughout the park. I loved that we didn't have to worry plan in advance to get a spot at either. My only downside to Universal Studios is that some of the themes felt outdated or just aren't favorite characters of mine.

We were able to do everything we wanted to quickly and easily. During a non busy time we did everything my kid wanted to do in about a half a day. Saving a few things for when we did HHN as we knew we needed a few time killers while we waited for the staged openings of the haunts. We skipped the little kids area and Jimmy Fallon, due to lack of interest and not being geared to our age group. I'll be interested to see what they do to bring new life to this park when the Simpsons contract runs out, especially since they are closing the Animal actor experience. So that's a sizeable amount for something new! For HHN, it ran well for us. I liked that they had two houses open at 2, and then we hit some haunts as they opened at 515 or 545. Thought I will say our feet ended up killing us from having to bounce back and forth. Since where they had two haunts that felt like a long walk off to the side where one opened at 2 but the other didn't open for a little more than 3 hours after it, so made for some unexpected back tracking.

They have a convenient parking garage where the first three floors are paid parking, while the fourth floor and above are free. That was a nice bonus and made getting there easy. I was actually on my way to a restaurant, so exploring the park wasn't part of the plan. But once I walked inside, I couldn't help but look around. There were restaurants, food vendors, candy shops, drink stands, and so much more. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and full of energy. It looked like the perfect place for families, couples, or anyone just looking to spend a few hours enjoying themselves. This is a short review because I didn't get the chance to experience everything Icon Park has to offer. However, based on my first impression alone, I can definitely say I'll be back. It was filled with excitement for both children and adults, and I'm looking forward to exploring it even more on my next visit.

All three of these together took up about two hours and then we were able to go to Cafe tu tu tango to get a bite to eat. This was a great half day experience while we were visiting Orlando. There was a parking garage and parking was super easy. By that time we left around 8:30 PM there were so many cars, but when we first got there at about 5 PM there were tons of spots. They do have parking spots you can pay for in the lower levels so it seems like if you're willing to pay there will always be parking. If you want free parking, you need to go earlier because this seems to be popular for nightlife. I always appreciate when there's so many attractions together that you can walk to. This place has quite a few restaurants, some shops and the attractions all in a contained area. It was very clean and when we came, there was a huge police presence, because apparently a couple weeks before there was hundreds of teenagers that descended to the area and fought. So the place was doing a really good job making sure that everything was safe. This is a place for both families and non-families alike.

Dezerland kept us busy for a few hours and inside during a very hot day. Besides the Auto Museum, Dezerland also features an arcade, escape room, bowling alley, bumper cars, lazer tag maze, ax throwing, and pool tables. Being of a certain age, we chose to visit just the Auto Museum. There are a variety of attraction packages available if you want to use one or several of the attractions. Everyone entering must fill out a waiver, even if you're visiting just the Auto Museum. The waivers are available online as well as advance ticket purchases. There is also a food court and several shops within the Dezerland complex. I'm not into cars myself but the Auto Museum was impressive. My husband especially loved seeing the vintage cars from the 1940s through the 1970s, although some of the cars shown preceded the 1940s. The displays include vehicles used in movies and popular culture. My favorites were the Mystery Machine and Herbie the Love Bug as I saw the movie Love Bug as a child. Besides cars, the museum also features vintage motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, fire trucks, police vehicles, post office delivery vehicles, subway cars, and buses. The backdrops, movies posters, pictures, and cardboard cut outs of the movie 'stars' and historical figures greatly enhance the experience. I can't imagine the time and energy it must have taken to amass this collection of vintage vehicles. We spent about two hours browsing the huge collection of cars but easily could have spent another hour or two here admiring the old time motor vehicles.
