Flying in a freefall simulator

Visit Zagreb Fair and experience flying in a freefall simulator – a unique, vertical air tunnel, the only one of its kind in this part of Europe.

If you are a fan of adrenaline, and always wanted to know what flying feels like, you now have the opportunity to find out in a vertical air tunnel which simulates freefall conditions. The vertical air tunnel is located at Zagreb Fair, and it was constructed by the family of Ivan Vugrek, the owner of the Novi Golubovec-based Metalmix Company in Krapina in Zagorje County.

This unique simulator enables a freefall experience in a controlled environment. It is perfectly safe for children and adults alike, and it requires no previous experience. It is ideal for all fans of adrenaline, but it can also be entertaining for people afraid of heights and flying. The vertical air tunnel consists of a rotor with blades fixed in a vertical tube and powered by a 1350 horsepower motor, which creates just the right amount of air flow necessary to experience simulated flight. The Croatian constructors of this unique, vertical air tunnel, the only one of its kind in this part of Europe, have paid great attention to safety, so anyone can have a go at it without any special preparations.

If you are ready for such an adventure, all that remains is to choose the duration of your flight, which also determines its price. A one minute flight costs 150 kuna, two minutes cost 200 kuna, while 5 minutes cost 500 kuna. Of course, the longer the flight, the higher the price… Therefore, the longest flight, lasting one hour, is also the most expensive, and it will set you back 4900 kuna.
