\"helicoptor-ride\"Being a bit out of the ordinary, my wife and I decided to take a helicopter ride.\u00a0 We saw the sign while passing the Myrtle Beach airport, and said “$20 for a helicoptor ride….. WHY NOT!?”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well, we have good and bad news.<\/p>\n

The good news is, we had fun! I can’t remember where were were headed, but we just finished looking at some Myrtle Beach condos along the Ocean Blvd when we drove by and decided to give it a try.\u00a0 We actually had the ride back when tourism season wasn’t so bad, so we only had to wait 10 minutes to get on the “chopper”, which was alot smaller than we thought it would be.<\/p>\n

We took a look at the map they had on the wall to plot which course we wanted. We went for the one right above the “cheap” one. I had been watching the “chopper” (sounds cooler than helicoptor) take off, and it seems like the $20 ride only lasted maybe 2 minutes, if that. They took off and landed VERY quickly.\u00a0 SO, if you are going to do this, go for at least the Pavilion Tour if you can spare the cash. With that one, (the one we picked) you did have time to relax and soak up the scenery before you landed again.<\/p>\n

Enough blabber. So we were up in the air, I was taking pictures with my camera phone and having a blast. You always see the guys in the movies with the huge ear-muff speakers on… well… you need em!\u00a0 It is VERY loud up there. And of course, they have speakers and microphones so you can talk to each other and the pilot as well.\u00a0 You got an EXCELLENT view of all the Myrtle Beach real estate out there. You fly right along the coast so you see all the condos, as well as all the land and some residential neighborhoods as well.\u00a0 It does feel weird though, definitely not like flying in an airplane. It more or less resembles flying in a tin can.<\/p>\n

So whats the bad news?\u00a0 For value, I give it a 3 out of 5.\u00a0 At $40 per person for a 10 minute ride, I can’t say I would recommend that unless you have extra money to spend. And if you have a full family, forget it. You might as well go to the new Freestyle Music Park and spend a few hours.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do I recommend the experience? YES! <\/strong>Definitely put it on your list if you have the money for it.<\/p>\n

Only in\u00a0Myrtle Beach<\/a>, SC!<\/p>\n
