Orlando StarFlyer Swing Ride Admission
Description
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.

This ride is somewhat scary 😨 but really fun! It felt like soaring over Orlando! I highly recommend this ride for thrill and sensation seekers.
fun pleasant the photographer at the eye could have been clearer never got my digital pictures correctly.
Thrilling experience! The ride is short but very tall and you can see the scenery from the top. StarFlyer is a quick but very exciting ride and should be a priority if you are nearby. Go ahead and hop on!
A great experience for the price! Goes faster than you think from the ground 😅 Would recommend for any thrillseekers :)
Had a great time. Highly recommend the swing, it went up really high. The bar next door to it was cool too. 10/10 & inexpensive
Would give this place zero stars if I could. And this is my first negative review ever, I feel pushed to make one as it's really annoyed me on our special day. We were first amazed by the look of the swing and wanted to go on it. Today is our anniversary and wanted to celebrate it and start off with something that's brought myself and my partner together, something spontaneous and fun, this checks our box. When purchasing the ticket it says 15 dollars each which we were happy with. Upon using the card terminal which the worker inputed, it came up as 30 dollars 90 cents. I know it isn't much but it's the principle. I then asked what the 90 cents is and he said its tax added on. I paid it and looked over at the sign again and it says tax included in price as you will see in a photo below. I then queried it again and he couldn't give me and answer and this is the start of a bad experience. We got on the swing and it was fun, heads up no waiver is provided or anything to sign and its a long way down if you fall. Anyway, we were also told that we could go on the ride again at 9 dollars each with our wrist band. We were also told it will be 10% off on any drinks we purchase at their bar. Upon ordering drinks we were asked for our ids. My partner is 26 years of age and has a beard , I'm 23 years of age and could pass for 17 so we were expecting it and we were fine with it. We showed our ids just like in every place we have ever been to. Bare in mind I only ordered a Lemonade and he order a beer. She refused our ids because they are from the UK. They are valid in date driving licenses which states name, age has a photo , etc . We have used our ids all over the world and other places in florida and they have accepted them all. They said that we would need to bring our physical passports and says they have a sign for it. Despite showing photos of our passports, credit cards to match names and more, they were not accepting of it at all. So if you're from outta the states be careful as to sum up the company, they will falsely advertise , steal your money and charge you more, they will discriminate against uk ids unless its a passport. There are many other places to drink so go to the others like we did whom don't discriminate at all. Like Uncle Julios, Hampton social, 98 forty tapas tequila, senor frogs and more. Thank you Star flyer for ruining our trip that I waited 9 years to go on and our anniversary. I hope others don't experience the same, go else where .
Hello and thank you for visiting the Orlando Starflyer and I-Drive Star Bar. Our goal is to have every customer leave with a 5-star experience. We looked into the two issues you addressed including speaking with our manager who assisted you, in-person, during your visit. Please note: 1. The .90 cents added to your $30 purchase was for a 3% credit card transaction fee. Sales tax was included in your $30 purchase. 2. The State of Florida requires verification of age for international visitors by providing a valid passport to purchase an alcoholic beverage. Failure to adhere to this law can result in revocation of the establishment's alcohol license. We trust this further clarifies the concerns you addressed. We hope you will visit the Orlando Starflyer on your next visit to Orlando.
Nice starflyer, there is a great wiew from the top. I was there daytime but I think it is great to ride at night with all city lights.
Great experience!!! There were no big lines and was very happy to take this ride. Had a great time. Price was very reasonable. Great location.
Exceptional thrilling height and speed!! It's so fun!! We went on it twice. Once in the rain and once dry. It was a different experience each time.
I didn’t have to wait; the staff helped me to my seat and ensured I was secure. I was in shock up in the sky, but it helped that the view was with all the colorful lights. I recommend going in the dark like I did so you can see all the colorful lights in the area.
