skycat 0 #32 November 18, 2013 Two of the three planned tunnels have broken ground. They are still in the concrete/steel stage. My guess would be Spring, based on when DV thinks he will be heading up there. (So not official or anything)Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like that would work. I swung by yesterday, and I'm happy that without traffic, it's just a 25 minute drive for me!

wicodefly 0 #43 April 21, 2014 I don't know anything anyone else doesn't, but here's a status update from their FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/iFLYChicag It says: "We anticipate accepting reservations mid-to-late May but are not exactly sure of the IT installment schedule yet. We will keep you posted here on facebook...." If they're waiting on IT, my guess would be at least two years :)Chance favors the prepared mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zoso 2 #49 June 8, 2014 I just called the Rosemont iFly and inquired about their specs. Rosemont and Naperville are both 14 footers. The person I spoke to did not know the horsepower, but she said she thought they were both capable of 170mph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
