You will not be able to sign up for a specific time frame, just for either Friday or Saturday. Rides are first come, first served so plan to arrive early. Lines will be long so please be patient.

The helicopter carries three passengers and must have two passengers to take a flight. The weight limit per passenger is 275 pounds and the total weight limit for all three passengers is 600 pounds. If the total weight is getting close to 600 pounds or the individual weight is over 200 pounds, passengers will get on a scale that only the company can read. This is for everyone's safety and to abide by the limits of the aircraft. Intrepid prefer children older than 2 years old and all minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
