I drove 45 minutes from my home near downtown, to make some jumps on my birthday. I found they recently built a 500' x 500' swoop pond, so I wanted to have fun on my birthday, and make some hopn pops, you know, play with the new pond.. So I go to manifest and I'm told 'No hop n pops. Just got word from the pilot to limit them' I asked why and was told they didn't want to put me out in the clouds. They were flying hot full alt loads all day. I walked outside and looked up at 80% blue skies. No hopnpops because of clouds??

So I left the dropzone, and did not get to skydive on my birthday... WTF??

Anyone care to answer?

I went to skydive Houston on the north side the next day and had a lot of fun jumping in a less 'stressed out' environment

I feel myself as in my own home Dropzone back in Brazil. These people are awesome, the place has everything you need for a good skydive day, weekend or season! Weather is pretty good all year, the aircrafts are very clean & new. There's a very big & good landing area. The 3X US Nationals Champions of Freefly and World Record holders are here, so there's no better place for myself to be!
Nice coaching, nice shop/store, nice air-conditioning packing area...OMG! This is heaven???

The people are great, and very friendly, it's a wonderful place to learn to jump. I flew from New York to Texas just to jump here because of the reviews on this site and I'm so glad I did. They made me feel very comfortable and prepared for my first (and then second) jump.

The thing I loved most was that they seemed so confident in their skills so they were able to joke around and that made me relax and just have a great time.

Skydive Spaceland is great!

Nice facilities: A/C bunkhouse and packing area;
Very Nice Aircraft: Super Otter, Caravan, and a 182
Super Nice Landing Area: BIG with lots of cushy grass

But the real story are the Even Nicer People

I spent a weekend at Spaceland and despite some semi-uncooperative weather, I had a blast.

I stayed in the bunkhouse which was comfortable and well air-conditioned. The packing area is very nice and also air-conditioned, which is a huge plus. Although, I could see it getting pretty cramped on busy days.

The Super Otter was nice as was the climb rate and jump altitude (between 13.6-14.1 on every load I was on). The Caravan was also very nice.

The landing area is beautiful�I don�t know how many acres�but more than enough! It is covered in cushy grass and has a well defined experienced and new jumper landing areas. And if you land at the far end�you�ll likely see a staff member rolling up on the ATV to give you ride back to the hanger.

The people are great. Literally everyone at the DZ seemed to be friendly and ready to answer questions or just chat.

Also a big thanks to Mike and Robert for offering to do some RW jumps with a new (36 jumps) and visiting jumper and then organizing the surprise SCR attempt.

I don�t think I�ll ever forget when I first realized that just about the whole load had gone up to join me on my first 8 way! Surprise!! Surprise!! That was AWESOME!!!

Thanks to all for making this trip very memorable and extremely fun! I had a blast and learned a lot! I�ll definitely be back the next time I come within a half days drive of Houston!

Oh yeah and thanks to Dennis for the Repack!!! I think I still owe some beers to all when I return...

I enrolled in their Solo Transition Program. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to get into skydiving. The instructors make sure you what is expected and how things should work while still keeping it fun for you. I didn�t always get the same instructor over the span of the course but each was just as fun and knowledgeable to learn from. They don�t just teach you about the actual jump but they�ll go into the other equipment used on a jump and will give advice if you want it.

The instructors don�t just forget you after you�re done. I made a jump with one or two after my license was done and even just sat down and talked to a couple when the last load for the day was done.
