Regular readers will know that The Edinburgh Reporter was persuaded to go on the Star Flyer last year just before it was opened to the public for the Christmas period. Then it was sited in St Andrew Square, but this year it is moving to East Princes Street Gardens where we are sure it will be just as thrilling!
In the artist’s impression provided by Edinburgh’s Christmas you can see the Star Flyer on the left of the Scott Monument.
This is what it felt like last year….
This year tickets will cost from the concession fare of £6 upwards, with a family ticket bundled at £25. You must be at least 1.2m tall to go on the 60 metre high ride which rises vertically before whirling round at what seems to be high speed! Last year over 62,000 people took to the sky – if you do then be sure to send us your photos!
