Before going on the RipCord by iFly ride, you will need to make reservations in advance and your first ride is free. Once you sign up, you will be taken to a changing area where you'll put on a "jump suit" and watch an instructional video. Don't worry, there will be an instructor with you the entire time. The ride seemed to last about 60-90 seconds long. We were told by a staff member that you can sign up for additional jump session for a fee.
The Bionic Bar, featuring "Shaken" and "Stirred", the 2 robotic bartenders, that make the perfect drink based on classic cocktails, specialty drinks or custom drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Simply go to one of the several kiosks, scan your SeaPass card or your WOWband bracelet, choose or create the drink you'd like. Once you've completed your order you'll see your drink and you name (first name, last initial) on the display boards on either side of "Shaken" and "Stirred". Then you can watch the magic happen as your cocktail is perfectly made by the robotic bartenders. Like luggage, many drinks look alike, so on the display boards it shows which robot is preparing your drink. Once your drink is complete, simply go to the slot in which the robot placed it and scan your SeaPass card or you WOWband and the drink slides down to you. Something to note, not just anyone can pick up a drink, it has to be the same person who scanned to order the drink that scans to pick up the drink.
