I had a good thought the other day while I was at the park. What if we had a legit Gliders competition? I think that could be really fun!

I think that is an amazing idea. If we all do it we might break it though :lol: But seriously that would be so awesome to have all 8 gliders battling it out for top!

Sometimes for Woodstock Gliders the ride operator will have the crowds that are waiting in line judge who is the best glider and named the sky king/queen (Basically who can get the highest) Usually for this ride only one or two gliders are rocketing up as high as possible while the others are just gliding along. Just imagine what it would be like if all 8* gliders are doing that!


*10 gliders. Not 8. Ten.

Do you know if Skyflyer is free? I am guessing it is not...
