Helicopter Tours over Orlando
We are heading to Orlando again this summer and are thinking about taking one of the Helicopter tours. Can anyone recommend a good company? Which tour would you recommend? Do any of the tours fit 5 passengers?
Thanks! |
Given the number of accidents that occur I would never consider a helicopter ride over anything - and certainly not Orlando (to see what - an aerial view of amusement parks???)?
|
Nyt, I was wondering the same thing???
|
Choppers are actually safer than driving, but I too have to wonder what you think you would see
|
We were in Orlando last summer and the kids were interested in the helicopters. Just curious what people thought.
Not looking for some grand tour - just something fun and different to do. |
Helicopters are much more dangerous than fixed wing planes. As for being more dangerous than cars - how? In number of miles per accident (of course, since most accidents have no or limited injuries). If a copter goes down you are dead.

I could <i>maybe</i> see a helicopter over some inaccessible scenic wonder . . . but Orlando??
|
We average two to three deaths per day here due to car accidents . . I can count on one nose the number of deaths here due to choppers . .
|
Rich, where is "here"? 2 to 3 car fatalities PER DAY?
|
Yes - but how many drivers are on the road and how many helicopters in the air? It's not absolute numbers - it's percentages.

Maybe Texans need better driver training:
"The state had 17% more traffic fatalities per 100 million miles traveled than California and 40% more than New York" |
And California was in second place.
