FAQ
Can I pre-register for tickets?
Tickets are in-person only, and first-come-first-served.
Can the MaxFlight go upside down?
Yes, but when you fly, it doesn’t have to.
For extra precaution, choose from one of these simulations that do not go upside down.
- If you want to fly a plane, the Piper Cub cannot go upside down when you’re flying it.
- Our MaxFlight also offers passenger ride simulations that do not go upside down. They are as follows:
- Air Fighter: A high-speed chase through winding canyons after an evil robot
- Submarine: A calm trip through the Bermuda Triangle to discover lost treasure
Please let our Simulator Attendant know you are looking for a simulation that does not go upside down and they will accommodate your needs.
Is this like a real training simulator?
No, it handles more like a video game and is more focused on the fun of flying, rather than the general skills. Check out our pilot quality simulators located at our second location, Exploration of Flight, at Centennial Airport.
Is the MaxFlight hard to fly?
It can be, but our operators can give you helpful suggestions on easy-to-fly aircraft.
Do we record the interior cameras on the MaxFlight?
Not right now, but that may be an option in the future.
