About this experience

Experience a ride on the Orlando StarFlyer, the “world’s tallest swing ride” standing at 450 feet tall. Moving up and down and rotating around the giant tower at speeds of up to 45mph, no other attraction combines safety and thrills like the Starflyer.

The Orlando Starflyer concept began in 2012 when Funtime had a mobile Starflyer located next to the London Eye during the London Olympics. It was obvious during this time there was a great synergy between the two attractions.

In 2015 when the Orlando Eye was being developed the Funtime Group approached the developer Unicorp and proposed that they build the world’s tallest swing ride, the 450’ Starflyer next to the Eye. Working together for the next 2 ½ years Funtime and Unicorp have brought you Orlando’s 2 tallest attractions, together on International Drive.
