Learn to Fly at Universal CityWalk!
Universal City, California – Universal CityWalk takes “extreme” to a new level with the introduction of “iFly Hollywood,” L.A.’s first ever indoor extreme sky-diving wind tunnel elevating “sky-divers” to new heights of up to 30 feet and suspending them mid-air at wind speeds of more than 125 miles-per-hour and affording them a 360-degree panoramic view of the landmark pedestrian promenade.

Housed in the world’s tallest and most technologically advanced indoor vertical wind tunnel, “iFly Hollywood” breaks new ground as the only facility to be constructed out of one solid sheet of clear acrylic, adding a totally new open air dimension to the free-fall sport.

The “iFly Hollywood” experience replicates the extreme sport of sky-diving by employing two colossal electric fans, the equivalent of over 800 horse-power, to give guests of all ages an authentic and intense free-fall sensation.

Certified sky-diving instructors provide individualized training prior to each sky-diving adventure that focuses on safety and a series of hand signaling to communicate within the wind tunnel. Guests will don authentic sky-diving sports gear, sans parachute, and become acquainted with sequences of awesome aerial body maneuvers to elevate the sky-diving experience. Each ”iFly Hollywood” flight session equates to one actual sky-diving jump. Participants are presented with a Certificate of Completion following their flight.

For additional information and details on pricing and special package options, visit http://www.iFlyHollywood.com. Information about Universal CityWalk can be found at http://www.CityWalkHollywood.com.
