    This attraction offers a fun mix of immersive experiences, though the quality can be hit or miss. The Flyer ride tends to be the main draw, giving visitors a unique virtual flight experience that several reviewers found enjoyable and less intense than expected. The 7D experience adds interactive gaming elements with motion seats and laser shooting, which works especially well when you're visiting with a group. Staff generally get positive marks for being friendly and helpful, with some guests specifically praising the attentive service they received. The biggest recurring complaint centers on video quality. Multiple visitors mention blurry or unclear screens on the Flyer ride, which definitely impacts the immersion factor. There's also some confusion about what qualifies as "scary" on the 7D rides, so if you're bringing young kids, you might want to be prepared for some skeleton surprises even on supposedly tamer options. The experiences are quite short, around three minutes each, which leaves some guests feeling underwhelmed. That said, families looking to kill some time on the pier often find it entertaining enough, especially kids who seem to love the laser maze and keep asking for repeat rides on the 7D attractions.

    Cool experience! The flyer ride was cool and not quite as nerve wracking as expected. The 7D ride was fun (went eith Zombies) but it is a walk down the pier to get to from the original flyer ride.
