It is really fun - Ive done it now twice during the day and once at night. I almost like riding it better with a mask on since it keeps your mouth from drying out if you smile. Its VERY wind up there! Picture a wind tunnel - mouth in a dry grimace, eyes streaming....thats kinda what its like, except more enjoyable. Its almost hard to see the view due to the wind. But the view is good all the same, I think I prefer it a bit better at night. Since Im not afraid of heights (really - dont do this if you are!) its not terribly thrilling. The ride mechanism does twist you back and forth, enough to make you think you might spin around but you dont. My biggest fears were of losing my shoes, losing my mask, losing my earrings, or my contacts coming out.I like that its not so expensive (buy online for $2 off!) and re-rides are discounted. During Covid, they clean down each swing that was used between each ride and make you use hand sanitizer and you must wear a mask. The indoor ticket office is closed, so no bathrooms and no lockers. I arrived needing to use the bathroom before I rode and I had to walk all the way over to the ferris wheel to get to some, which is NOT a short walk.

I was iffy about it at first, being that, at my age, I realize death is around every corner. But Ill tell you what, it was BEAUTIFUL!!! Very smooth ride! I definitely suggest you do it at night! Ill be going back again!! (:

OMG I love it. I loved the staff too....they are really nice. My first time getting on rides like this and it was so much fun and scary at the same time that I peed and pooped my pants. I will be back with more friends next week.

(Visited June 2019) This attraction is located in the same area as The Orlando Eye/The Wheel. The tickets are a reasonable price (around $12 and then around $7 Extra to ride again). It looks fast when you are on the ground but once you are actually on it, it doesn’t even go that fast. There are nice views of Orlando at the top.

My besty G. McBickers bought us tickets and we finally went on the Orlando Starflyer for the first time. There is no weight limit for the swings and there is a seatbelt that goes across your chest and a bar/chain that locks in between your legs. The ride goes up approximately 450 feet so naturally there were a few moments when we felt butterflies in our stomach but overall it was fun. There were a few teenagers ahead of us on the ride that were twisting and turning their swings in the air and they were screaming with joy, us older folks were a little bit more conservative and reserved LOL. The view was good but it was a wee bit hard to focus on as we were moving fast and going in circles. The price was reasonable and we only had to wait a few minutes before we could go on (8 pm on a Saturday). There was a wide range of people in attendance this evening from children to seniors, all were enjoying themselves. The music was enjoyable and the lights were so pretty! Bucket list

Last time when I did this staff were welcoming and I had lots of fun but today they seemed like non of them wants to be there to help us. There were two ladies who are absolutely so rude. You guys are serving to the tourists not your friends, please try to love your job!

Fun experience! I’m kind of scared of heights but this ride was the most exciting ride I’ve been on. It felt really good up in the air and you could see everything! Definitely recommend it!

Always have fun. Never get sick of it and what a scene ! Go online and get $1 off each ticket. Makes it even better :)

Just very very very small amount of time if not I would definitely have rated this 5 stars My daughter loved the experience we went on it multiple times.It’s safe & the staff is definitely cleaning after each person rides to sanitize and being precautious about the items you take on

I love being up high the air smells better up there

Absolutely amazing! Nervous at first but Broderick convinced me and my whole family to try it and so glad we did! Its a gentle ride with no crazy drops, wonderful experience!

Neat experience for the teens! Reasonable prices. The ride operator is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. You could tell he definitely wanted to be anywhere other than there. His demeanor was a bit rude and it almost seemed as if it was bothersome to him that we were there. Keep in mind, we visited during the pandemic so there were a few extra sanitizing measures in place so he could just be sick of the extra stuff required right now. Great for teens and those with no fear of heights!

I did not ride this thing but, my family did LOL.My five star review is based off of their experience. If you’re not afraid of heights I suggest giving it a try. It’s not expensive and yours family’s reaction is worth it.

The price is accessible, I dont really dare to go up but it looks spectacular

Scary but an insane amount of fun, it really is quite tall. But they’re safe about their procedures.

So high I thought Id freak out haha but it was actually very fun and thrilling!! I definitely recommend! Im very scared of heights but did it anyway! Its a must try if you go to Orlando!One in a lifetime experience here ^^♡

Great lil plaza filled with activities and great restaurants! The starflyer is amazing too.

Told my wife no way then she talked me into it. It was the most amazing swing I have ever been on! You can see for miles on it. Next time we will ride this at night. Price was fair not a rip off. Its a must do bucket lister.

Awesome views of all of Orlando. Great value!

Best. Ride. Ever!

This is a must do ride here in Orlando, Florida! Tickets are very affordable and when you ride ones they allow you to come back during the same day to ride again and you will only pay about $8 something, just make sure you keep your bracelets on. Highly recommended!!!

Looks better from far away lol looks dangerous up close

All I can say is WOW!!I rode this last year in early June 2018 after it opened for little over a month.The view was breathtaking!! Probably one of the highest point in the region!The horizon during the sunset with storms off in the distance was magical!Prices are very reasonable too! Any trips after the first gets discounted! That is awesome! Definitely recommend if youre in Orlando!

Soaring high over Orlando in a swing... Fun!

Great place, views, its simply awesome

Had an awesome time, went with my friends and its best to go at night, you see all the lights better, and the view is outstanding! There is proper safety measures of social distancing and mask mandate signs.

Me and my family decided to ride the star flyer. We loved Every minute of it. The staff was very nice and friendly. I was super scared lol but loved the view once we made it up top. We will come back again very soon.

Thast was real scary but awesome probably go again someday

Overall great experience. Ive only been on one or two other Starflyers, but this was by far the best. You really dont process that this ride is 450 feet tall until youre at the top. Its windy up there (even if it isnt on the ground lol) and you really feel the G-forces pushing on you. The chairs also rotate a bit in the wind, something you may not notice from ground level. You get some great views of Orlando as well. The ride ops were also super nice. Put this ride on your Orlando bucket list.

Been thinking about trying this out for years and finally did. It feels like parasailing but longer and better

Awesome place! The Ferris-wheel & Swing are so much fun!! Good food w/ a Fun atmosphere. Family friendly with a touch of nightlife.

Amazing experience, a must do if visiting Orlando!

THIS WAS SO COOL!!!!! The price was so reasonable and the employees were awesome. I loved watching this the most at night. It was awesome! I highly recommend!!!

So most restaurants and places next to it are closed. No bathrooms available. $11-something + tax for a ride that lasts maybe 2 minutes. Spend your money elsewhere.

Amazing...Im afraid of heights. This helped me conquer that fear. Rode it twice

Had to for my birthday check this off my bucket list That was one ️ ride I will never forget! At one point I thought I might come out the damn seat tho!!! lol Glad we took on this bad boy, what an awesome experience!!!!!

Man this place is just outright amazing! I come here every time I travel to Orlando. Amazing customer service, you dont wait in line long at all. The thrill and view is definitely worth it. One thing I recommend to people who read reviews, purchase your ticket on their website, youll save $$$

This was one of the coolest, scariest things Ive ever done. Our swing started twisting on its own and the panic was very real. I dont scream on rides and I screamed or nervous laughed the entire ride. Totally worth it. They also have free lockers to put your stuff in, which was very nice

Good value. Something Id recommend trying out when visiting Orlando!

Highest swing in the world. Great fun and long time up there. Night and day are different worth going 2x and you can get lucky and catch the fireworks from Disney at night!With your ride wristband. They give you a discount at the bar and also on the next ride if you want to go again.

I visited the Starflyer a few weeks back on vacation to Orlando. What an experience!Heights dont bother me, but the smooth ride and spectacular views make this a must-do attraction for anyone! Friendly ground staff and plentiful amenities with a feel good atmosphere that is sure to turn nerves into excitement. My only wish is that it was a slightly longer flight. Although the time spent up there was breathtaking and the wait down below prior to boarding was minimal.A perfect way to end the trip and I will certainly return next time Im in town!

Best ride in a long time very helpful with my oldest daughter with cerebral palsy they even lowered the swing down so she can get out of her wheelchair to get on the ride thank you very much

These brave girls! They could see this giant from our resort and pleaded for us to come. Glad they had so much fun!

A must-do experience. Very reasonably priced at USD13 and the views from the top are amazing. Youre so high up it feels like flying, but not for those with a fear of heights!

This was absolutely amazing! So much fun. I knew I would be up high, but when you’re actually up there. Man oh man is it a view. This is definitely something that I will be doing each and every time I come to Orlando!

Great experience and friendly staff and very recommended...I liked it

Amazing ride! Me and my daughter (11) had great fun flying high above the International Drive. If you want sightseeing you take the wheel - thrillseekers take the flyer!

Highly recommended attraction on International Drive Orlando. The price is about $13 if you buy it there and $11 if you buy them online (you don’t need a printer if you buy them online). First get the ticket at the office (even if you got them online) and then wait in line (about 10min). Once you seat, it goes all the way up while spinning for about 5min. You’ll get a nice view of Orlando while having a good time.

Quite exciting actually! I was imagining just spinning around casually high up in the air, but the swings twist in and out and it creates the feeling of falling. Great deal for about $12. And they have 50% off offer if you want to ride again. Would definately do again with new friends or family coming into town, or killing time before our escape game down the road (as we were doing).

Line wasnt long so decided to give it a go. Price was cheaper than expected for an Orlando attraction.Once youre heading up, is where it gets good. Not as scary as youd think looking from the bottom.I would do it again.

Great fun for the price. Nice views and a good thrill

Great experience. Good price. I recommend you give it a try.

The Starflyer is an exciting and thrilling experience. The view is breathtaking and the overall experience was really amazing the one star I took away is due to the fact that you spin so fast (up to 60 mph) and because of that you can’t thoroughly enjoy the view; at a few moments I had to close my eyes so as not to faint. I know if it were slower I wouldn’t have felt as dizzy because toward the end it slows down and is much more pleasurable. Maybe the company can consider slowing it down a bit, my personal opinion is that most people want to enjoy the view from such a great height more than they want to be thrilled as you’d expect on a roller coaster. But overall I would try it again.

Rode during the day on my 34th birthday which was Presidents Day. Saw it up close at night a few months back. Definitely worth at least one ride to see the city from that high up. I am not afraid of heights. Its not overly fast but not all that slow either so its great for kids. I think there is a height requirement for it which was three feet and some change. You could also go back and ride in the same day for cheaper than the initial $13 ride. Cool ride overall.

Cant go wrong with this ride...we werent even going to be in the area but spotted it from the interstate and had to jump off the next exit. To my surprise the lines were short and the costs were low ($15 or $10online). Worth every cent!

So much fun! Such a thrill. Everyone was friendly and Trent was easily the best employee I’ve ever met in my life. Totally awesome!

Love this rideI ride it everydayAwesome

Orlando Starflyer is a great and scary experience. Around 450 feet tall. During night perfect for this ride.

I was a beautiful and fun ride but the only problem was that they didnt have a bathroom

After seeing the starflyer on the Orlando skyline from Disney we decided that we had to give it a try.Reasonably priced for an attraction and second ride is available at a discount. The staff are really helpful and friendly. Although the ride is fairly short it offers amazing views! A must do in Orlando!

So awesome! I was excited for weeks before our trip to Orlando to do this! I’ve experienced it twice and about to go a 3rd time today! At sunset was my first experience and it was one the most exhilarating and thrilling things I’ve done in a while! The views were breathtaking and the feeling of the pull of gravity and wind made it that much more amazing! Staff are great and fun! Just standing in line with fellow humans bubbling with nervous excited energy was a great experience! Some tips for those on the fence about this ride that may help: ride at night and on the outside seat for a smoother and less intense version. The inside seat and in the middle of the day is most intense version of this ride! Height requirement is 44” and no weight limit unless you weigh more than a car BUT you have to fit in seat! I was nervous about this because I am pear shaped in size 16-18 jeans but I was fine. The seats are safer than they appear to be. Kind of bucket style with slight reclined feel and there is a small raised saddle like hump between legs and then also a locking vertical strap between lap bar and seat base, also a large safety belt like strap that goes under arms from one side of individual seat to middle. You cannot unstrap these until released by attendant back on ground. So even if you passed out of fright up there you are not going to fall out! Yet up there you feel free and not strapped at all! No cell phones, hats, sunglasses, keys, purses, bags, loose shoes or sandals allowed. There are lockers as well as bins at base for these items while you ride. I was permitted to use my GoPro with wrist strap or chest strap. Thanks Starflyer staff for this! I totally would not want to take any loose items or want others to do so because it could really hurt someone if dropped or flew off. The wind along with centrifugal force is very strong. So don’t try to hold any device. Also you will want your hands free to either white knuckle grip the chains or bar or do what I did! Full disclosure: I supermanned it and did titanic arms up there! I LOVED it and want a season pass (if they offer one)! Do something every day that makes you feel absolutely alive and scares you just a little!

Great swing! Highly recommend take a ride at night time!

Was totally worth it! Looking forward to going on it again. Just avoid the parking garage and you wont get harassed by security!

Cool and unique... I love the fact that iDrive has really cleaned itself up over the years. Tons of great places to eat and grab a beer but also (now thanks to eye and star flyer) tons of fun stuff to do. Go inside, grab a drink and fly high.. if youre a bit scared, its also a ton of fun to just watch people go up and down.

This was awesome! So much fun, definitely a must do!

This was an absolutely fabulous ride! Loved doing at night under a starry sky.

Extremely fun. Great Value. Save by buying tickets online. Highly suggest it.

Dont go if your afraid of heights! We went at dark! You can see Orlando lit up! Beautiful

Im scared of heights but, I did it. Lets just say...I met my challenge. Great experience. The day I rode was windy so, 450 up was an experience. Spinning made the views quick. The kicker is the slide pole used to secure you in the swing. Not the best feeling for me. I would think that a more secure way needs to be made for that ride. That for me is a concern. So, maybe whoever is in charge of it needs to be advised. *My view...as a recent rider, customer.

Too much fun! Almost... Lol. Its definitely one of those over too quickly situations one finds themselves in from time to time. I find it hard to relinquish all control during any part of any day. I find it too easy to do just that on these types of rides, for if, heaven forbid, something goes wrong theres little to be done to help the horrible situation. Id imagine one would wish they had a ton of fun before things went wrong. So I find it easy and you should too. Go here. Pay the rate. Relinquish all control and enjoy the hell out of the ride! Its a KoalaTea time for sure! Enjoy!

I only went because my 10 year old son wanted to. I was a bit afraid. So glad I went! Was not as scary as I had anticipated and was an enjoyable ride. The employees were very friendly!

Super fun! We went there on a chilly Sunday night during Christmas Break, and let me tell you, it really feels like you are flying! I love it, especially with the rush of winds blowing against your face. It does not make you dizzy or make your heart drop. Its just there to make you have a good time! I love it and recommend it to anyone! Its not scary, its just SO FUN!

Highly recommend if you are visiting Orlando! To me was awesome!. You must have to do it, at least one!

I’ve finally conquered my fear and again on the Orlando starflyer and again I’ve rode during the daytime and again including the nighttime and again I’ve screamed the whole hotel room including and again it’s the Brazilian streak house into Downtown Orlando starflyer and again it’s at international drive And again it’s just 3 blocks down from my work place and again it’s the world’s strangest main hour entertainment center arcade games industry and again his name is Matt PP and again he’s another random theme park enthusiast and again He’s another random theme park ideas sort of guy take out the Texas Joyland carney panhandle I’d guess and again it’s for everyone who’s watching Monty python life of Bryon I’m sorry apperently god cannot take another joker and again I’m always glad to be your neighbors

Fun attraction , value for money, more of a family friendly ride and not an exhilarating crazy one.Would recommend going at night.

What an experience great views best at night

Must do at least once! We did it on the night of a full moon - incredible views at night!

This is not a scary ride. I am afraid of heights: this is not a scary ride. It glides so smoothly: it is not a scary ride. It is terrifically fun as the wind blows thru your hair and the lights and sights of I-drive whiz all around you. I ride the Starflyer every chance I get, and intend to continue to so so.

Great staff crazy high flying machine

This is no leisurely sightseeing attraction. If you have a fear of heights, this will be intense, it was for me. It can also be a lot of fun! Weve been on this attraction twice, once during the day and once at night. I have to say that our most recent visit at night was a pretty unique and fun experience since we were able to see the Orlando city skyline, Universal, and the surrounding attractions all lit up which was a great experience. If you are enjoying attractions along International Drive, this one is worth the time, especially if you like a little bit of thrill with your sightseeing experience.

If youre scared of heights youre gonna have to bite the bullet. Went on it and felt like 5 minutes was half an hour dont judge me. The kids on the ride seemed to love it though ;-)

Great bar, friendly faces, if the ride wasnt so awesome and made us a bit dizzy we would of went again but, was worth it! Way higher up than it seems! Got some t shirts for the ride back home 20$ each fair price (:

A lot of fun. Not a fan of heights but if I didnt look down I was OK. Felt a bit dizzy at the top which wasnt great. Fantastic views of Orlando. Would do it again at a different time of the day just to see what its like.

If you like an adrenaline rush, then this is IT. If you’re in Orlando, then you MUST try it out. You’ll get to see the whole city from 400+ ft above the ground. Highly recommend it.

Fun with great music

Awesome staff. Amazing view. Awesome ride!

Must do at night time in OrlandoWorld’s tallest swingNot scary at all, open your eyes to see the beautiful view of OrlandoCaution! Very windy!!!!!

Awesome and very fun ride ! Beautiful view ! I was a little scared before it started but once it did and I noticed how sturdy and smooth it is, I was fine. Conquered my fear of this ride. I will be back and I will recommend this ride to anyone. Good job guys !

The kids really enjoyed there time

It was a fun. Its only a 2-3 minute ride. Be sure to save your bracelet and do a night run too

Me and my wife were on holiday in orlando in February 2019 we could see this from our hotel the first night we saw it with the lights on .so the next morning we took a I-ride trolley down to it and saw this in day light we saw people going onto it and was watching this for some timewe did not go on . but that night we did go back it was fun just watching this .

Definitely recommend, best way to admire Orlando.

Awesome!! And, definitely thrilling! The chains holding the swings are sooo thin they seem like they couldnt hold much weight at all! But, of course, they do. The ride seats 24 people in pairs. The individual seats have a lap seat belt, a lap bar that is attatched to the front chains, and a clip point between the legs for the lap bar... there is no restraint over the shoulders. The ride lifts the riders straight up first to clear the support building and then accelerates in rotation as it continues to ascend. At 300 feet up, the swings are pushed and pulled in their arc depending on whether youre headed into the wind or not; and the wind can get pretty strong. Also, if you look up at the tower as youre spinning youll feel a dizzying disorientation and youll wonder how those tiny chains can hold. The ride then descends and seems to spin even faster about halfway down, before finally slowing to a stop just above the rooftops. The ride then drops the the riders vertically down right to the same point where they started. It really is a lot of fun, and definitely not for the faint of heart! Other than that, the staff is friendly and the site is clean, well-organized, and inviting.

I thought the Star Flyer was going to be an amazing ride, unfortunately it wasnt. In my opinion, it goes too fast when youre up high and you dont get enjoy the view of the city.If youre looking for a fast, cheap thrill then youll enjoy Star Flyer. Its affordable and youll enjoy the thrill of the ride.

It goes super high & fast you can see everything, great for couples, I loved it

Best place to get away from the Orlando Heat! Recommend taking the ride at night. This place is usually not crowded. They have cheap tickets online. Good thrill ride!

Awesome swing. But the Bar . . . . . . Long islands will get you. Try it out. Ask for the strong island

Not for those who are afraid of heights! Book online to save a few $! Cheap bar beside the ride for those who need a little liquid courage :)

Great price and good time.

Great prices! Lockers are free to store your personal items in while riding the Starflyer. This is a nice touch considering everything in the Orlando area is always extra. Bartenders at the Bar next door are AWESOME as well! We were sp afraid of rising but afterwards were so glad we did. We rode at sunset which made it even better. You do not even realize you are 450 feet in the air! A+ ☆☆☆☆☆
