Fantastic experience! The whole crew made my first time more memorable than I expected! They gave me a tour of the place, answered all my questions and kept a casual conversation with me up until the point of the jump so that I felt more comfortable the entire time! The jump itself was phenomenal, air rushing past my face and my tandem skydiving instructor doing his best to make sure I had a blast while speeding towards the ground! 10/10 would jump again, and when I do it'll be at their facility!

The zip lining adventure was amazing and a lot of fun. The booking through cloud 9 was confusing and took a while for the codes to be activated. The coure was about 2 to 3 hours long and used a lot of upper body strength to climb the different courses to get to each zip lining.

The ride along itself was great. I had my time changed from 1pm to 2pm, which was no big deal, but as I waited in line and watched several people go before me (even those behind me in line) I didn’t get my ride until 3:30pm. I should not have had to wait that long in the heat when I was there at my scheduled time of 1:30 a half hour before my ride.
Response from Cloud 9 Living
Hello, Patrick! Just checking in to let you know that we are appreciative of you writing in. It was wonderful working with you on this, and we are so happy that the racing school is giving you another 6 lap Ride Along, on them!

My wife surprised me with the Fly a Cessna experience for my birthday. She scheduled everything online and all we had to do was show up. Jim was great, first he showed us how to check the weather report online to know if it was safe to fly. After we went outside to inspect the aircraft, Jim did a great job at explaining what needed to be checked before flight and what I needed to do once I was up in the air. He was very professional and friendly and he made sure to answer all of our questions. Definitely recommend this experience.
Response from Cloud 9 Living
Hi Oscar, thanks so much for taking the time to write in about your experience. Sounds like you have yourself an amazing wife with some awesome gift giving skills! We are so happy to hear you had such a great experience and that you enjoyed Jim's instruction as well as his company - I will make sure to pass along those kind words for you! We hope to see you back for more fun and memories soon! Best, Kelsey

We registered for this zip line experience as a wedding gift and redeemed it the following summer. I loved that the timing was super flexible in terms of when we redeemed it, and we had the option to exchange it for a different experience or even add people to our reservation. We kept it as just my husband and I, and we both had a blast. The organization was very courteous and professional, responding quickly to emailed questions and giving a good training experience when we arrived at the course. The course had a great mix of daring challenges in the treetops and ziplines and was the perfect length, about 2.5 hours. Because of the way the course is spread out, it felt for a while like we were the only ones on the course and was really nice to have that privacy to enjoy the adventure as newlyweds. And it was so neat to be above the treeline at the last stop on the course! I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone who likes a little outdoor adventure and isn't too afraid of heights.

While the ropes course was acceptable - the Tarzan jump was the best part! The zip lining portion of the course was EXTREMELY disappointing! Short lines that sent you into a runway of mulch - not what I would expect from an activity labeled "Ultimate Zip Line Adventure Course". Very short slow zip lines that land your but in the dirt.

Purchased as a gift to my significant other. The process was smooth and seamless. Our pilot came about 3 minutes prior to when we were to start, walked us through the entire instrument panel and process and we took off.
Flight time (on Geneva package) was a bit less than I had thought, as it totaled 40-45 minutes each way. Great people to deal with and fun time though

I received the flight opportunity as a Christmas gift from my daughter and step-daughter. I was finally able to take advantage of it. And I enjoyed it immensely. The really neat part was being able to do the flight in the Sundowner which was very much the same as the Musketeer I learned to fly in 48 years ago. I enjoy flying, but the small plane experience is truly the most pleasurable, the most personal. Besides, my wife was able to go along. Thanks!

The entire experience was only about 1 hour, including the pre-instruction class versus the 1.5 hours advertised. There seemed to be a very cursory overview of use of instruments for someone who has never piloted before. Instructor did review all pertinent instruments as they were being used, but did not explain usage in depth.
A five-minute preview of instruments and their purpose would have been very informative. To my disappointment, no mention was made of the video available for purchase during the pre-flight instruction session. When I raised the question after the flight was completed, I was told that the GoPro camera was not loaded for my trip. so no video was available. Overall, I feel the flight was a good experience and felt comfortable with the instructor as an experienced pilot.

It was amazing. The only thing that was not represented properly was that there would be no rain check. When we got there, the weather would not allow us to fly and I was beyond disappointed. But then the instructor informed me that I would still get the ground training and would be able to reschedule the actual flight. I was much relieved. However, during the ground training, the weather cleared and I was able to fly that day. Your information of rain check was not completely accurate and you should make that clear. Otherwise it was a marvelous experience.

The driver, fully-dressed and in the "cockpit" did not acknowledge or communicate with me. The "pit crew" were fine. I wanted to tip my driver, but was unable to do so, because, wham-bam, he was off with another passenger in a flash. The ride was exciting though, and I'm glad I had the experience.

I learned about your website through an article in Realtor.com. I'm so glad I found about your website. I purchased a flight lesson for my husband and my father-in-law as an early Father's Day gift. My husband had been looking to do something unique with his dad. This was the ultimate experience for them both. Especially my husband, so much so that he is now thinking about possibly taking flying lessons to become a pilot. I will highly recommend your website to my coworkers, friends and clients. :)

What a bunch of nice people! The staff was very nice and attentive to everyone's needs. What a great time it was, I think next time I'm going to take the drivers school and try my hand at driving.

I got this as a birthday present for my husband, he loved it! The only disappointing thing was that we had scheduled a downtown Chicago flight, and once we got there, we drove several hours, we were told that we couldn't do the scheduled flight b/c of some air restriction. The pilot gave us the option to wait, but we had already driven and made arrangements so we decided to do it. He didn't get to fly what we had planned, but he still had a great experience. I just wish they would've explained it better when you sign up. I've never flown and know nothing of air restriction, so that was disappointing. However I called Cloud 9 Living about it, and they gave us $50 towards another experience, so they did try to remedy the situation, which was very nice, thank you!

It goes by way too quick and it is not a full three laps. I cannot see why the cost is so high, they get you in and out of the car as fast as possible. With that said, a good package for the price would be a good five laps and the 6 lap adventure they have should be a 10 lap ride along. It was not a full three laps, when you are coming up to your 3rd lap they slow down at lap 2.5. That was disappointing. However, next time I will do the drive your own car. I have no complaints what so ever with Cloud 9 Living. They made the booking seamless. Thanks! Cloud 9 Living!

I had a 3 lap indy ride, and although it was a great experience, it was way too short. Minimum should be at least 4-5 laps as the entire ride lasted less than 3 min. 1st lap just gets you up to speed, and the last lap is into the pits, so that gives you one lap at speed. A 3 lap ride should include 3 laps at speed.
I would not recommend this experience only because the experience does not justify the cost.
As a side note, my driver was way cool, and the people very friendly. It was enjoyable to be there.

I can't believe to say that this actually worked. I was interested in learning how to fly an airplane, was not sure how to get started. I saw that there was schools teaching but it was all expensive, I just wanted a one day trial to see if flying is for me. I was not to sure how to take a quick class and give it a shot in flying, I was going to call the airport see if they were any help. But I didn't, instead I let Cloud9 do all the work. At first making a transaction, I was a bit scared, this whole thing might not even be real. But from the looks of it, every transaction process had a security feature on the URL. So I went along, and what do you know, a day later I get a call giving me instructions to pick a day and confirming it. That got my hopes up. During the event, I got to the location and I was amazed the instructor already knew who I was. The Flight was freaking Amazing! I'll definitely come back to Cloud9 when I want to do something out of the ordinary.

Everything about the introductory flight lesson was fantastic!!
Executive Flight School was great, but very hard to find and not well-marked for the public. Maybe that's the point?
Anyways, my booking was inaccurate; Cloud 9 confirmed me for a different day than I requested, so when I arrived the pilot was not really ready for my experience.
They accomodated me in the end, though, and I had a great time once we got off the ground.
Thanks!

The Mario Andretti Experience was very well-run. We had a 3pm time, but arrived early, and they took us early. Was very glad to know to bring a chair and/or snacks as it was a hot day and we had kids with us.
While efficient, they do sort of "get you in/get you out", and our opportunities for pictures felt a little bit rushed, but over all a really good experience and would do it again, or recommend to others.

Kevin was awesome, patient, and kind. He is a great instructor and would recommend him to anyone considering a flight. I was totally immersed in the flight process, safety check, testing fuel, assisting with take off, flying, etc. It was the best birthday present to myself....EVER!

The experience was awesome! I felt like a bird. It was an adrenaline rush and very peaceful all at the same time. The experience provider was inviting and fun, they make you feel comfortable and you leave there feeling I can't wait to do that again.

Had a truly amazing one-of-a-kind experience! I am extremely passionate about planes and have always wanted to fly one myself. This gift was truly heartfelt and special. I will never forget it!

My Indy car ride along exceeded expectations. I have already recommended the experience to a handful of friends/colleagues.
My only complain is with the staff who loaded riders into the vehicle. While they were generally friendly and courteous, they were quite impatient when assisting the riders with getting into the vehicle (all people in my party expressed the exact same dissatisfaction). For first timers, getting into the car is awkward and takes a little manuevering (even for us "normal sized", healthy and flexible adult males). I understand that time is of the essence in handling a large volume of riders, but a little patience and a few extra seconds would go a long way toward treating your customers with the respect they deserve for plunking down hundreds of dollars for a short thrill.
Thx for the overall excellent experience.

The experience was amazing & I have recommended to every person I've talked to since I went. However the staff was unfriendly & surly. You have a very good product but need to improve customer service to keep people coming back.

The Indy Car Champ Ride was a gift from my family. They know I like adventure and speed...this fit the bill. The ride was smooth and fast. You really feel the power of the vehicle and the "G-force" at speed on the banked track.

Cloud 9 was wonderful however there was an issue with the booking that I believe was on the Mario Andretti end. You guys booked 2 rides under one individual for us. 2 rides under Martin and 2 rides under Eddy. They had the 2 rides under Eddy but not under Martin. So we spent an hour of me trying to find confirmations and emails to prove that I did indeed purchase 2 rides. Finally after speaking to a manager they allowed our fourth person that we did pay for to do a ride along.
other than that the experience was great.
