Every time I go to Lagoon I say that I will ride the SkyCoaster. Well this time two of my friends and I actually bucked up enough courage and really did it! The launch tower is 153 feet tall and the arch is 173 feet tall. The fliers, up to 3 at a time, are raised up to a height of 143 feet. When they are instructed to do so, one of the fliers pulls the rip cord (that was me!) and then the fliers drop rapidly, reaching speeds up to 80 miles per hour (talk about G-force!) and experiencing sensations similar to hang gliding and skydiving.
