If you haven't known, you are blown up by a giant fan in an air tunnel and suspend like sky diving.

too big, it is a DVD of 2G video, even compressed into divx I think it
would be around 500M, 250M is for promo demo, the other 250M is our
real flight.

I need to make pre-paid reservation. We have Saturday 1:45p-3:30p slot available. which would be roughly:

1:45-2:00 check-in
2:00-2:30 instruction/tutorial
2:30 start the flight, each person has two one-minute air time. we are doing it sequentially one-ppl-at-a-time. others can watch from outside.
done 3:15, conservatively be out at 3:30.

I will reserve 6 for now (me, caozhen, xinyi, xuli, yifan, wenjing), could add up to 12 and those will pay at site. We will get 10% discount if we have 10

Cost about $55.

I recommend watching the video on the homepage http://www.iflysfbay.com/ and reading the terms here http://res.iflysfbay.com/res_web_directory.asp?supplierCode=ifly100&cat1=3&activityId=1/

Should be fun!

Pretty neat!  Looks like a good step to learn before going on real sky
diving.  Unfortunately, I have plans on Saturday, next time yeah.

I missed this... but i was wandering what's the waiting time and how long is the flying time. And, was it worthwhile?

It was quite fun. wait time is about 30min-1hr once you arrive (with reservation of course). The actually individual time in the tunnel is 2* 1 minutes, maybe 1.5. The time you spend near the tunnel and watch others is 30 mins.
