Sergio Chapa Reporter- San Antonio Business Journal Email | Twitter | LinkedIn Indoor skydiving will soon be coming to the Alamo City. Austin-based iFLY will soon be building a $4.5 million dollar facility off Loop 1604 and Interstate 10. The company uses a customized "vertical wind tunnel" to simulate skydiving indoors. Customers sport head gear goggles, head gear and a jump suit while floating or doing flips in midair. The groundbreaking ceremony for the San Antonio location is expected in March or April, while construction is expected to last six months. iFly has "flown" more than 6 million people at 34 locations in a dozen countries since launching its first vertical wind tunnel in 1998. The company has locations in Austin and Dallas, and it will open two locations in the Houston area over the next couple of weeks. The San Antonio location will be the company's fifth location in Texas. With other locations ranging from Moscow to Dubai, the company is experiencing tremendous growth with 14 locations under construction and another 12 new locations planned for 2015. iFly looks for communities with large numbers of families with children, like San Antonio, company spokesman Stuart Wallock told the San Antonio Business Journal . Two turns in wind tunnel will cost $70 dollars per person with a certified trainer right by their side. "We've fly everyone from 3 to 103 years old," Wallock said.
