¡¡Attention All Thrill Seekers!!
I'm happy to announce to the Yelp community that there's a new indoor skydiving facility currently under construction by industry leader, iFLY. This new wind tunnel will be their second tunnel in New Jersey, after iFLY Paramus.
The iFLY Edison property is situated on US Highway Route 1 southbound side in Edison Towne Square - the same complex as Supercharged Entertainment and Top Golf - directly across the road from the Jaguar dealership.
If you've ever wanted to see what it feels like to be Superman, iFLY is the place for you!
If you're new to the iFLY experience, picture yourself suspended in midair in a vertical wind tunnel where a fan is spitting out wind at 180 miles an hour, keeping you afloat as you try to keep your balance somehow and defy gravity.
~Fresh Gear~
You'll look fashionable, to boot! You get to put on some spiffy goggles, then plugs to keep your eardrums from exploding, and lastly the wind suit that will make you look like one of the Teletubbies.
~Premium Attraction~
Be sure to stack up your coin! Assuming that Edison iFLY follows the same pricing model as the franchise in Paramus, you can expect to pay anywhere from $75 to $160 for admission depending on the number of flights you choose and the time of your booking.
Admission covers gear rental, pre-flight training, one-on-one flight instruction and a personalized certificate. Group rates also are available, and parties and corporate gatherings are strongly promoted, according to the company's website. Party and conference rooms, as well as catering will be available.

The development plan to build iFLY Edison has been on pause for quite some time. When the plan was first announced in 2019, the expectation was to break ground by that summer and open by spring 2020. The project cost was estimated at $10M for the 5,800-square-foot skydiving center with the expectation to hire 25 skilled employees and attract visitors from as far as 90 minutes away. It unclear as to why that plan was deferred for three years. Just blame it on COVID-19.
At any rate, now that construction has finally commenced it seems to be moving along swiftly. One day, I visited Top Golf and saw nothing but an empty lot across from it, and then a few weeks later there was a full scale construction site completely fenced in with building materials and gigantic tunnel parts awaiting assembly.
Looking forward to what's to come read more
