Cathy the GM is amazing, and the guys on the go carts were good men. They were safe inside for 2…. We had just been there celebrating birthdays! It started off horribly, I mean bad! Was in for Ladies Night where Ladies are in free every Wednesday night!
A friend invited me who knew the local comedian, Jeff Oskay. Liz welcomed…. From Business: Sky Zone Indy South is the original indoor trampoline park, and we never stop searching for new ways play. I am not affilitated with the business of SGB, and am only giving my opinion as a regular jumper there. Our horrible experience began on Saturday, July 31st.
Our group of 9 had reservations for jumping at 2 pm. The group consisted of an international mix of Managers and Engineers who were scouting the site for a potential corporate outing. What Greensburg does not tell you when you call is that your reservation isn't a reservation at all - you can only reserve a spot by putting your name on the "manifest" list and it is basically first come first serve. When we arrived, there was a group in front of us and the office staff asked our party to wait outside the registration room since it was crowded.
They forgot us and we finally had to approach them to ask about registering again so our group registered late which meant we weren't put on the manifest until after our 2 pm "reservation" time.
When we approached the lady in charge of the manifest list with questions, she was incredibly rude and not helpful. We would have left at that time but Greensburg had our money and there are no refunds. We tried to ask other staff what was happening as there were delays due to low clouds.
Each of us received a different answer to the same question. It was maddening because Greensburg has a PA system but the staff did not use it and there seemed to be no one in charge.
At pm, we finally decided to take a raincheck and drive the 2 hours again the next day to jump. When we arrived the next day, the office staff manifest lady and registration staff were still rude and unhelpful but at least we knew that we needed to get on the manifest quickly in order to secure a place to jump.
All in our group jumped 2 AFF and 7 Tandem and we all agreed that the instructors and camera crew were fantastic. It is incredibly fast paced but once in the plane, the instructors put you at ease and you can tell that even though they are worked hard, they love what they are doing.
Lastly, half of the group received their link to their video and the other half has not received a link or DVD to date. When a call was placed to the site, the person answering replied that each of us would need to call the videographer who filmed us there are different ones and request the link and a new DVD.
In our case, it was explained that our videographers only work the weekend so we will have to call and try to catch them between jumps. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Would we jump again?
The experience is amazing. But our corporate outing will be scheduled somewhere else that has customer service in mind. So I was visiting friends in Indiana so we figured we should go skydiving.
Skydive Greensburg was the closest option. When I got there we were greeted and welcomed even though it was our first time to the dz. The winds were high that day and the load organizer saw that I was new to the sport so he gave me a ton of advice on my landing approach.
I was planning on doing a 2way with a buddy with both of us hanging outside the caravan on the floater bar however it was only big enough for one person to get a grip on it. It seems as though they really cater to tandems seeing as how my friend and I were the only two fun jumpers there.
I thought it was weird they only took tandems and us by default to feet. They said they would go higher with fun jumpers but obviously there weren't enough to send a load. The friendliness and new rental gear really sell this place. I'm just used to the huge skydive chicago dz so I had to adjust. If you are in the area it is worth checking out. I have read the reviews on here, specifically about some of the staff and the cliques.
While this may have been years ago that these experiences happened, I have found that this dropzone has some of the most friendly staff I have ever dealt with. I originally did all of my AFF there eight years ago and loved the dropzone every minute I was there. After being out of the sport for six years, I was able to show up and spend an entire afternoon with Billy owners son and speak with him about all of my experiences and questions I had about getting current and my licenses.
He was extremely friendly with me and both he and his brother took the time to help me understand the differences between packing a solo rig v.
I have found that this dropzone is much more user friendly than some of the reviews would lead you to believe and the expertise they have on staff is worth the visit.
I called this DZ to inquire about jumping there and was told to come on out. When we arrived and walked into the hanger, we were greeted very rudely by the manifest girl and was told that they did not fly fun jumpers and that all of their fun jumpers were now jumping at START in Ohio. I explained that I had talked to the DZO earlier in the week and she did not care. There was not one friendly hello or smile. Rather glares by obviously unhappy staff. I know now where not to go.
Even though I'm not an fluent English speaker, the staff took their time to explain everything to me in ground school. I think they couldn't prepare me better for my first jump, I felt excellent prepared and coached for my AFF jumps.
My jumps were great, perfect briefing and debriefing. I think I learned the maximum I could. The DZ is great, huge landing area in perfect condition, very nice people and everything you could need you'll find in less than a 15 minute drive. Your are doing a great job. These 3 guys are the nicest and most helpful people I've met there. The only problem I have at SDG are the cliques. I always feel like an outsider. When I show up, and get my gear on, nobody asks me if I want to join in on their formation.
Since I don't have any friends that I can jump with, I'm usually a solo freeflyer. You can call to reschedule anytime. If we can't fly due to weather you will receive a voucher to book your tour on a different day. Return your tour ticket for a full refund with 24 hours of purchasing. Clayton was our instructor and he was a blast. Definitely recommend!!!!! The entire staff is so incredible and patient. I felt safe and had the best time!
Really fun and exciting experience, and the instructors made it really special. We did not feel rushed, and our instructor was genuinely excited to teach and help us improve. I took my daughter and 3 of her friends to iFly Austin for her 9th birthday! We all had so much fun. Travis was our instructor, and he was excellent! He was very sweet and patient with the kids. What a fun experience! Have questions about how indoor skydiving works before you book a flight? We want to make sure you know exactly what to expect so you feel comfortable with the iFLY experience from start to finish.
