Media and public relations representatives were invited to try out the facility, which features the world’s tallest vertical wind tunnel measuring 12 metres high and 4.3 metres wide – with wind speeds of up to 290kmph.
It recreates the experience of hurling yourself out of an aircraft, without actually boarding a plane.
Prices range from BD19.500 for a two-minute “bodyflight” for one up to BD300 for the “Boogie Time” package, which offers two one-minute flights for up to 15 people.
The centre also offers training for dedicated indoor skydiving enthusiasts.
