What do you get when you combine hang gliding, skydiving, and bungee jumping? Awesome. Experience the breathtaking thrill of RipCord as you dive at a speed of 65 miles per hour while free-falling 18 stories toward the Earth, skimming just six feet above the ground. Guests wear a full-body harness that supports the flyer in a prone position.
The harness is connected to the flight support cables which produces a dramatic acceleration of 60 to 80 mph.

Do you have what it takes to rip your own cord and shoot you and two of your friends into the sky? You’re in control of your own destiny with this unique experience. RipCord is located in Route 76 between Delirious and Antique Autos.
