Indoor skydiving center to open in north Houston in 2015

Houston is getting some high-flying fun next year when iFly Indoor Skydiving opens in Oak Ridge North. Skydivers are lifted via wind tunnel systems. The systems support recreational and competitive skydiving, as well as military training.

The City of Oak Ridge North and the Oak Ridge North Economic Development Corporation announced a partnership with the Austin-based company, which has 30 indoor flying facilities around the world.

The iFLY Indoor Skydiving Facility will be located in the Interstate 45 corridor that saw the opening of upscale entertainment center Bowlero earlier this week.

“We could not be more excited about working with the City of Oak Ridge North to bring an iFLY Indoor Skydiving facility to Houston,” said Matt Ryan, iFLY chief operating officer, in a release.. “Having spent significant time in Houston, I know the residents of Houston will flock to iFLY and enjoy the new sport of indoor skydiving.”

The Houston facility is expected to open in January 2015.
