Umm, I think you should check out some maps or guides about what there's around Orlando. :)

I went on the one that flies from a heliport about half way up I-Drive. Its between I-Drive and Interstate 4. It was the first time that me and my two DDs had been in a helicopter. I would recommend this as it was amazing :thumbs: ,the helicopter had a great viewing area, it was like being in a large goldfish bowl :fish: . One thing, it is obviously no good if you are scared of heights :eek: as you feel that there is nothing between you and a very large drop to the ground. DW and son chickened :chick: :chick: out and regretted it later after watching the video I made.

roebuck - where did you go to in the helicopter? how long did the ride last? can you remember the rough price? :D :thanks:

There are several flights that you can take with various costs and different destinations. The one that we went on was one of the ones at the lower end of the price range. It cost $30.00 each and lasted about 30 Minutes. It left from the heliport between I-Drive and Interstate 4, we then flew towards Orlando turning left at Universal, over Universal and IOA, then back down the other side of I4 passing the edge of WDW and the water parks. I don't think any of the trips are allowed to fly over the Disney parks. It then crosses back over I4 and flies over Sea World and Discovery Cove before following I-Drive back to the heliport. It was very enjoyable and was just something different to do. Another thing we did that was good was an airboat ride over the swamps down at Boggy Creek.

Thanks roebuck.........found a link for them and dh can decide which of the tours we are going to do :thumbs: I think the prices start very reasonable at $20 but then over $350 to fly over celebrities houses - we'll give that a miss :wacko:
