What an absolutely wonderful experience, from start to finish! This was our little "honeymoon,"…read moreand we enjoyed every minute of it! Captain Bill is extremely professional (an ex-Air Force flight controller) without being uptight; in fact, his banter with his wife Janet and assistant Becky is a source of constant amusement. :) Nevertheless, he promised to call us the day of our scheduled flight "around 2:00." The first time we tried to fly, we received a call right at 2:00 informing us that, unfortunately, storm clouds were on the way and the risk was too high to fly. But we rescheduled and, again, right at 2:00 on the day of our flight, we received a call saying we were on for that evening. When we arrived, we were struck by three things: the friendliness and light-heartedness of Bill and his team, the cleanliness and orderliness of their equipment, and the professionalism and clarity with which we were told the plan for the evening and given directions to follow for each stage of the flight. We all climbed into Bill's van and headed out to the launch site, alternately asking Bill about his many adventures in the Air Force and laughing along with the team's banter. When we arrived, we all pitched in to help unload and position the equipment, then we passengers were able to photograph the team and the balloon as everything was unpacked and readied for launch. Bill thinks of everything, including having bottles of water in the gondola in case passengers get thirsty and making sure that someone from the team takes a photograph of us all just before launch. Then we were off -- and what a flight! Skimming over the treetops, flying high and dipping low, watching the landscape unfurl beneath us unhurriedly while Bill pointed out landmarks and shared stories and folklore about the area's history, from battles with Indians and the home where Abraham Lincoln's father lived, to legends about a half-man, half-goat that haunted a railway trestle, luring people to their doom. He also pointed out all of the wildlife that the area boasts: deer aplenty, a fox, and blue herons and hawks -- often nesting in trees, where we could even see white, hawk chicks and big, heron eggs. We left in the late afternoon and landed about a half-hour before dusk, just enough time to help pack up the balloon (including a walk inside of it!) and enjoy a glass of champagne with the crew -- along with the story from Captain Bill of why champagne is the traditional drink after a balloon flight. Bill also e-mailed us the flight path the day after our flight, so that we could trace exactly where we had gone. The whole experience was truly exceptional, well worth the money -- and it's already a great deal to begin with. We had checked prior to booking with Aero Force, and other companies gave only group trips, often for a higher price, and charged a great deal extra if a couple wanted to go just on their own with the captain. The champagne at the end is also a very, very nice touch, topping off an already wonderful experience. We're huge fans of Aero Force, and if you are considering a balloon ride for 1-3 people, we strongly encourage you to go with Aero Force. If your experience is even half as good as ours, you are sure to be pleased! Note: you may not be forced to help with the packing and unpacking, but my wife and I are both young and strong, and Bill asked us. Honestly, we cherish that he did; the balloon itself is so interesting, and the crew so fun, that pitching greatly added to the experience and really made the trip feel like it was "ours." Thank you so much to Bill, Janet, and Becky, we hope to have the chance to fly with you again!

The person who owns this business" Matt" is very unprofessional and tried to overcharge me for…read moreservices not rendered. We were supposed to have a balloon wedding with 45 minutes tethering, a one hour exclusive flight and a banner provided. His charge was $1500.00., which was fine. But when we did not receive the tethering, which is the most costly action associated with ballooning due to fuel consumption and labor intensiveness, nor did we receive a banner he promised, he still wanted to charge full price of $1500.00 for what was only a one hour flight with 5 minutes on the ground with ring exchange and a prayer. I paid him what I thought was fair , above and beyond the $700.00 cost of a one hour exclusive flight for two. He then harrassed us, called me on my honeymoon and called my wife. VERY DISRESPECTFUL Stay away from this business. Very unprofessional. Will overcharge, and he will NOT do what he says! Take your business elsewhere. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

At one time, I was an avid scuba diver, logging double-digit dives every month. But then life…read morehappened, divorce, kids going to college, and flight lessons for those same kids. Diving had to take a back seat, and for more than a decade I missed the feeling of blowing bubbles underwater. Now that I'm finally able to focus on myself again, my wife encouraged me to get back into diving. While she'll never (unfortunately) get in the water with me, she happily supports my hobby. I visited Louisville Dive Center to see what they had to offer an old diver like me. The moment I walked into the shop, the familiar smell of chlorine mixed with neoprene brought back a flood of memories. I immediately felt like I was home. After learning they offered a refresher pool session for certified divers, I signed up. I paid my fee and impatiently counted down the days until it was time to get back in the water. When the day finally arrived, I gathered my fins, mask, and wetsuit, my other gear had been sold years ago to help pay college expenses, meh medical release from my Drs, a thing us old divers must get every year, and headed to the dive center. After checking in, I made my way to the pool. Muscle memory took over. Even after 11 years of not diving any deeper than my backyard pool, assembling the rental equipment felt completely natural. I checked my gauges, inflated my BCD, climbed into the pool, and slowly descended beneath the surface. I was home. I spent the next hour practicing my skills and eventually moved into the 35-foot section of the pool. My buoyancy control wasn't quite as effortless as I remembered, but after a few minutes it all came back. It's amazing how much your body remembers, even after all those years. Before I knew it, my air supply was getting low, and it was time to surface. That single hour underwater was one of the best experiences I've had in a very long time. The staff at Louisville Dive Center was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and encouraging. They treated this old diver with the same enthusiasm as someone earning a certification for the first time, even though I probably earned mine before many of them were born. As every diver knows, once the bug bites you again, there's no turning back. I'm already replacing my equipment and planning several dive trips. My wife will happily enjoy the beaches and shopping while I'm exactly where I belong, under the ocean, back home. If you've been away from diving for years and are thinking about getting back into it, Louisville Dive Center is the perfect place to start.

T3 also known as Terror to the Third Power is a suspended looping coaster at Kentucky Kingdom and…read moreHurricane Bay. It was originally built in 1995 that has top speeds of 49 mph and reaches heights of 101 ft. The track length is 2,172 ft. Height requirements are min of 52 inches and max of 79 inches. Growing up in Louisville Kentucky kingdom was a big part of my childhood. I had season passes as early as I can remember and T3 being built 1995 I was around 11 years old when this ride debuted. I can remember being really excited for it when it came out. A roller coaster that does flips and your feet dangle? I was sold from day one. Overall it was a fun ride then and a fun ride now. Has solid speed, fun loops and brings some nostalgic feelings to me personally. I'm really glad that when Kentucky kingdom reopened after being shut down that they kept this ride here.

Why is T3 getting such a high rating well there is a really good reason for it which I'll explain…read morewhy because it totally deserves it! T3 is more or less known as a Vekoma SLC pretty much the most hated coaster amongst coaster enthusiasts as it's known for bashing your head back and forth between the restraints leaving you with a splitting headache but that's not the case here! This Vekoma SLC has over the shoulder straps connected to a lap bar so it takes away from that head bashing that we all love soo much that element alone is something I haven't found on any other Vekoma SLC in the United States! T3 has a super fun layout and it's a good coaster for the type that it is with just the restraints alone it's definitely in my opinion the best SLC out there as it has gotten rid of the head pain! Overall i don't think I've said this before about this type of coaster but I'll definitely look forward to my next ride on T3 because it's just that awesome!

The height requirements are 42 inches to ride alone or 36 inches to ride with a companion. So it's kid friendly. This is probably my favorite Kentucky kingdom ride. Has been since I was like ten years old. Not much to it. You climb to the top and like most splash rides or goes through a few curves and takeouts beige climbing to the near 100 foot drop. The drop gathers good speeds and an enormous splash. I love looking up as soon as you hit the water and taking in the huge splash about to come crashing down on my head. You will get soaked especially if you sit in the front row. So my suggestion is to "sit in the front row" They also have a splash zone at the exit where if you aren't down getting wet or didn't get wet enough for your liking that you can hang out at and get slashed from the big drop from the next riders. Overall great ride that stands the test of time. Truly a a long time Kentucky kingdom staple. Perfect for days where it hot but you don't want to suit up and go to hurricane bay. But also perfect to Segway into the second half of your day headed to hurricane bay. I was very pleased to hear they kept this ride when they reopened Kentucky Kingdom a few years ago after being shit down for awhile.
