NAS Pensacola, Fla. — (GSN) —  As exciting as it is to watch the Blue Angels roar overhead during an air show, imagine actually feeling what it's like to be in the cockpit of one of those jets. Now, visitors to the National Naval Aviation Museum can get closer to that feeling than ever before. The museum is home to two MaxFlight 360 Simulators that put riders in full control of their own high-flying adventure. Both kids and adults are welcome to climb in, take the controls, and experience the thrill of flight firsthand.

These high-definition simulators use patented, fully interactive 360-degree pitch-and-roll technology. Both kids and adults are welcome to climb in and take the controls.

Starting May 29, the flight simulators will be open daily, making it easy for families and tourists to plan a visit. Each session costs $40 for one or two riders. The NNAM is a cashless venue, so visitors should be prepared to pay with a credit card or Apple Pay. Cash is not accepted at the attraction.

Riders get to choose their own experience once they are strapped in. Options include air-to-air combat and stunt flying through the virtual skies. Because the experience is fully interactive, no two sessions are alike. Every rider has complete control over what happens next.

Before boarding, riders must meet the following requirements. Riders accompanied by an adult must be at least 50 inches tall. Riders without an adult must be at least 52 inches tall. The maximum weight limit is 500 pounds, and all riders must be at least 10 years old.

Safety is a top priority at the attraction. Riders must meet all age, height, and weight restrictions before boarding. They must also follow the ride operator's instructions at all times. Hands, arms, and legs must remain inside the ride at all times.

All riders must use the provided safety equipment, including seat belts, shoulder harnesses, lap bars, or chains. Parents are encouraged to observe the ride in operation before allowing their children to board. A frightened child on the ground may panic once in the air.

Parents are reminded not to force a child to ride if the child does not want to. All children must be tall enough to hold themselves upright and stable during the ride. Museum staff take the safety of every visitor seriously and enforce all posted guidelines.

There are also health-related restrictions that visitors should be aware of before riding. People with high blood pressure, back, neck, or bone injuries, recent surgery, or illness should not board the simulators. Those who are pregnant or have heart trouble are also advised not to ride. Anyone who has questions about whether they are healthy enough to ride should consult a doctor before visiting.
