The Experience
Before You Go
Check weight & height limits
Operators enforce a 45–100 kg and minimum 130 cm height range; have accurate weight and passport details ready at check-in.
Arrive early for briefing
Plan to be at the departure point 20–30 minutes before your slot to complete safety forms and a brief harness check.
Use provided lockers
Store phones, bags and loose items in lockers—only approved cameras tethered by staff are allowed on the line.
Avoid midday in summer
Dubai’s platforms can be uncomfortably hot; book morning or late-afternoon slots during June–September.
