The anticipation is usually worse than the actual flight. Standing on the boat waiting for your turn can make your stomach do flips, especially if you are thinking about the height, but once the parachute fills and you start lifting off, it happens so easily that most people are surprised. There is no sudden drop or roller coaster feeling. You gradually rise higher as the boat moves forward, and before long, you are just floating. Up there, it feels much calmer, the boat looks smaller, and the water stretches for miles. A lot of nervous guests have mentioned that they expected to be scared the entire time, but after a minute or 2, they were looking around, taking pictures, and enjoying the view. On clear days, you can see the beaches, condos, boats, and schools of fish in the water below. If heights make you nervous, it is worth trying because many of the people who are most anxious before takeoff end up being the ones talking nonstop about how relaxing it was after they land.
