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!
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???)?

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.

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 . .

Yes - but how many drivers are on the road and how many helicopters in the air? It's not absolute numbers - it's percentages.

"Rich, where is "here"? 2 to 3 car fatalities PER DAY?"

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"
