TAKE FLIGHT to Open at the Wilderness Resort on September 2

WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. — Wilderness Resort officials announced today that their new “Take Flight” Aerial Adventure Ride will be opening on Wednesday, September 2.

The new ride, which will also be open to the public, is a FlyRide that takes up to 60 participants on an aerial Adventure. The movie, “Flying Wild” takes participants “soaring” over famous national landmarks, America’s breathtaking national parks and features some of the best aerial footage ever shot of Wisconsin Dells.

The FlyRide has 12 different ride vehicles, which each seat five guests, located on three different stories. Once participants are buckled into their seats, the doors to the theater swiftly rise and the seats surge forward, leaving guests feet dangling as they stare at an enormous 65 x 47 feet, domed movie screen. Artificial scents, wind and mist add to the sensation of flying.

Take Flight will be open from 9 am to 11 pm on weekends and from 9 am to 10 pm on weekdays. Tickets cost $19.99 for adults and $15.99 for kids 12 and under. Wilderness guests will receive a $5 discount on admission tickets. Military members and veterans can fly for $13.99. The new attraction is located off of the New Frontier lobby.

This summer Wilderness Resort also unveiled a new 3,000 square foot Lost Cabin Laser Tag and a new “Twister” room escape by DOA based on the 1974 Super Outbreak. In addition, the resort completely redid its New Frontier entrance and created a stunning, new modern lobby featuring three-story cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides of the space. Cozy seating, a convenience store, three party rooms, additional check in stations are all part of the new space.

Earlier this year, the Wilderness also opened Camp Social which serves up a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options as The Burger Bar, a full‐service bar serving up a small menu of great burgers; the Coffee Canteen, serving locally-sourced Bella Goose coffee, teas, smoothies, & doughnuts; and The Candy Cabin, where guests can satisfy their sweet tooth with unique candy and ice cream innovations.
