EPCOT Fireworks helicopter flight

Booked the nighttime EPCOT Fireworks flight 40-45 minutes. Communication with the team at Max Flight was really good and we found the location easily. We were greeted by our pilot who was friendly and talked us through the route we would fly and safety procedures. We were then taken out to the helicopter where we had our pictures taken both outside and inside the helicopter. Our flight took us over the main theme parks and attractions including sea world, Epic Universe and Universal and then we arrived at EPCOT in time for the fireworks (the main reason we booked the flight). It was brilliant. Our pilot played the soundtrack and we flew back and forth and enjoyed the entire performance. The view was brilliant. We then flew over the Animal Kingdom and 192 before landing. We bought the email photo package which was very reasonable at $25. It was a great experience that I would highly recommend.

I paid $225 to be insulted

During registration, i put in everyone weight, paid, ect. When i got there, i was told that together we exceeded the weight capacity. The guy helping the pilot was aggressive, threatening and very rude- combative really. asked him what steps he used to help my mom in the helicopter. He instantly became irate and spewed this : " because YOU ARE OVER WEIGHT, and before you accuse me of whatever your going to, I did all that stuff" I never raised my voice, never made any nasty remarks. I paid their fee of $225 × 3 and recieved body shaming - hate and accused of attempting to accuse him of something. I had no intention of accusing him of anything- I just wanted to know WHY my companion wasnt able to get in the helicopter!! I told the very friendly pilot - during the trip, his partner needed an attitude adjustment. I will add that after the flight he was almost perfect gentleman smiling, sweet talking - but never apologized!

Operator response

We take customer feedback seriously, but this review contains several inaccuracies that need to be addressed. 1. At no point was anyone bullied or harassed by our staff. We have video footage of the interaction, which shows our employee attempting to assist your elderly mother safely into the helicopter. He never stated that she could not fly because of her weight. Your mother herself acknowledged that he was trying to help her. Unfortunately, due to her limited mobility and difficulty stepping into the aircraft safely, she was unable to board comfortably, and we will never force a passenger into a situation that may be unsafe. 2. Our company clearly communicates FAA-required weight limitations through multiple channels, including texts, emails, and phone calls prior to booking. These restrictions are in place strictly for passenger safety. Based on the information provided at booking, adjustments ultimately had to be made on-site, resulting in only two passengers being able to fly. This decision was related solely to FAA safety compliance and not body shaming or discrimination of any kind. 3. The passenger who did not fly is receiving a full refund. We do not withhold refunds for services not provided. 4. Our facility is equipped with security cameras, and the entire interaction was recorded. The footage shows our employee remaining professional and respectful throughout the encounter despite being verbally confronted. Our team’s priority was to maintain safety and assist your family appropriately. 5. Due to the nature of this interaction and the treatment of our staff, we will no longer be able to provide future services to you. We are committed to providing a safe and positive experience for both our customers and employees, and passenger safety will always remain our top priority. 6. If any employee had acted in the manner described in your review, we would have addressed it immediately and done everything possible to make the situation right. However, after reviewing the recorded interaction, we are confident that our staff acted professionally and appropriately throughout the encounter.

I did the engagement package as a surprise, and it was awesome. They did great at keeping it a secret all the way until I walked my girlfriend out to propose. Very friendly staff and the pilot was great as well.

Fantastic Experience

30 minute ride over the Orlando theme parks and other main areas of interest. This was my wife's first helicopter trip on her birthday. She loved it. An amazing experience even though I have been lucky to fly in Helicopters before. Our pilot was extremely friendly and professional and gave a very informative commentary throughout the trip. Highly recommended. There is nothing else that comes close to the experience of a helicopter ride. 🚁😊

Operator response

It’s always our goal to make every flight unforgettable, and we’re glad our pilot helped make it even more special with a friendly and informative touch. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another amazing flight soon! 🚁🎉

It was an amazing and fun experience. Its such a beautiful view at sunset hour. I would 10/10 recommend it to anyone who has never been on a helicopter.

Operator response

That sounds incredible! I can only imagine how stunning the view must’ve been during sunset. A helicopter ride is definitely on my bucket list now—thanks for the recommendation!

This was our second time...

This was our second time in a helicopter, and we loved it! Pilot took us on a route that maximized what we were able to see during that time of day. Really enjoyed the trip!

Operator response

Thank you for flying with us again! We're so glad to hear you loved the experience and that the pilot made the most of your time in the air. It means a lot to have returning guests like you, and we’re happy the route gave you some great views. Hope to see you again for round three!
