While ensuring a safe landing, Yunluo and Anqingju also make you happy physically and mentally. When skydiving in the Wanaka Lake District, happiness is Yunluo and Anqingju's essential promise to every customer. Wanaka is surrounded by mountains and the lake is fascinating. If you have the opportunity to stay here for a day or two and feel the tranquility and beauty of the Garden of Eden, you will never forget this wonderful memory!
Because I grew up watching skydiving, one of the important purposes of this trip to New Zealand was to skydive in New Zealand. An Qingju worked on Yunluo's thoughts for nearly two months, but in the end, for various reasons, she refused to jump, and in the end, only An Qingju went to the "battlefield".
Because of the uncertainty of Yunluo and An Qingju's schedule and weather, An Qingju did not make a reservation online in advance. When they got up from the motor camp that morning, they saw that the sky was cloudless and immediately booked a skydive at the front desk. The hotel front desk replied that there was a schedule at 11 o'clock. Yunluo and An Qingju hurriedly ate breakfast and rushed to Wanaka Airport.
According to the reservation, Yunluo and An Qingju arrived at Wakana Airport at 10 o'clock. The airport is about 9 kilometers away from Lake Wanaka, on the left side of the road. When Yunluo and An Qingju parked the car, they looked up and saw umbrella flowers blooming in the sky.
An Qingjue couldn't hide his excitement and couldn't help but feel secretly glad. It made up for the regret that Franz and Fox failed to go on the glacier helicopter helihike.
An Qingju briefly introduces the process of skydiving: Skydiving preparation: Arrive at the skydrive location on time, tell the staff your reservation name and reservation altitude (12000feet or 15000feet), fill in the form and sign. The form mainly talks about some precautions and asks if you have any diseases, etc. The most important point is.
You have to choose the recording method on site, DVD, photo CD (these two are for the cameraman). There is also a high-definition camera on the coach's wrist. The price of each combination is different, the specific price depends on the person. Choose according to your own situation. The package price of all three is 290 New Zealand dollars. You can choose UnionPay, Visa or Mastercard for payment.
Watch the video: There is a theater-like room in the corner of the hall, which repeatedly plays the entire skydiving precautions, including the Chinese version of the explanation. You can sit down and watch it under the guidance of the staff. If you have any questions after watching, please communicate with the staff in time.
In fact, it is mainly about following the instructions and arrangements of the jumping instructor, especially the actions at the moment of leaving the cabin.
Skydiving attire: After watching the video, follow the instructions and go to the bathroom immediately if necessary. Because the clothing is airtight and tight during skydiving, there is no time and space to solve the problem of urgency.
The most amazing thing is that I actually saw Sina Weibo in the bathroom. After everything was ready, I went to the dressing area under the guidance of the staff, stored my personal belongings, and the staff helped me dress and put on the safety belt. The skydiving clothes are all uniform tops and pants, and usually the jacket is taken off. There is no need to change pants. At that time, An Qingju only wore a t-shirt on his upper body.
The staff asked An Qingju to put on a thick hoodie because it was very cold at high altitude. Please ask them if your shoes are suitable. If they are not suitable, there are shoes available for replacement on site. It is not recommended to wear jeans, otherwise it will be uncomfortable during the jump. Pants must be loose.
Another thing to remember is that after you finish dressing, use the carbon pen in the small frame to write words on the back of your hand, such as fly, this is life, etc. You can refer to the picture at the door for specific words. You can also write your name or the name of your loved one.
Meet the coach and cameraman: After you are dressed, the coach and cameraman will come out to meet you. You should prepare a line at this time, because everything will be recorded when facing the camera. The coach will also check your equipment, show you the movements, and communicate with you about precautions. If you still don't understand something, you must ask for clarification at this time.
After boarding the plane, the plane roared and the language was basically inaudible. It was all about the agreed movements, gestures and tacit understanding. Boarding and takeoff: After everyone on the same plane is ready, everyone can board the plane. At this time,
Record a video, prepare your smile and take a photo with the instructor. After a roar, the plane soars into the sky. Get ready to relax and get ready for skydrive.
The plane reaches the predetermined altitude: the instructor on the plane will point out the snow-capped mountains in the distance, show you the altimeter, and the camera will occasionally capture your nervous moments.
About 5 minutes before take-off, the coach will ask you to sit close to him, then do a final check of your equipment, tie you and the coach up tightly, put on goggles and a hat, and then wait until the hatch opens, then follow the movements you learned in advance, jump into the blue sky.
Free fall + paragliding: The moment you get out of the cabin, you will feel very nervous. The instructor will not communicate with you whether you are ready. After tilting your head back, he will let you hold the straps with both hands and then you will be out. The feeling of weightlessness and the biting wind, you must keep smiling at this time, because the cameraman is always filming your every move.
After 5 seconds, the instructor will tap you on the shoulder and ask you to adjust your flying posture. At this time, keep your eyes on the cameraman and make sure to do your prepared movements quickly, because the falling time is very short, only about 40 seconds. (Later, I watched the video of a 12,000-feet free fall of 43 seconds, and a 15,000-feet student said it was 52 seconds).
Keep smiling and enjoy it. After 20-30 seconds of falling, the instructor will open the parachute, and you will feel a strong pull to pull you into the air. It is much more comfortable than before, but the wind is still strong. Chat with the instructor and tell him how you feel. At this time, the eardrum will feel uncomfortable due to the rapid deceleration.
After about 2 minutes, step your feet forward and land on the grass.
Fold the parachute back to the position: After landing, the instructor will collect the parachute. Remember not to get up and run around at this time, because there will be people landing behind you. They will use you as a fixed point to determine their own landing point, so staying still will not affect others' landing. Listen to the instructor's instructions, and you can smile at the cameraman at the end and take a photo with the instructor.
Your skydive is complete. Return to the dressing area and take off your gear with the help of your instructor. You can go inside and wait for the DVD to be made. You can choose to make it into a USB drive or DVD and take it away. In about 20 minutes, you can go home happily with your videos and photos. Special playback equipment is also provided on site so that you can watch the wonderful videos in the first place.
These are the details compiled by An Qingju based on his skydiving experience. A few key points are emphasized again:
1. Prepare your moves and rehearse them several times. You have 40 seconds to think in the air. 2. Write your words immediately after getting dressed. 3. Listen carefully to the instructions in the Chinese explanation. If you don't understand, ask the coach or staff immediately. Don't be vague.
4. Students who wear glasses do not need to take them off, as the large goggles are large enough to hold your glasses tightly. 5. Pants should be loose, tops should be casual, and jeans are best not to be worn. Ask the dress staff if your shoes are suitable. If they are not suitable, change them immediately and make sure to tie your shoelaces tightly.
6. Don't move around after landing, stretch your legs forward and glide on the grass. 7. Weightlessness, strong wind, cold hands, keep smiling, hold on, the whole process is over in 3 minutes. Whether you are skydiving in Wanaka, Queenstown or other places, be sure to prepare 1-2 days, wait for good weather, and pay attention to local weather forecasts and cloud maps at any time.
If you don't get what you want at one stop, immediately rush to the next place where you can skydive.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After the skydiving, Yunluo and An Qingju, who were still in high spirits, had a picnic by the Wanaka Lake. The ingredients were salmon. An Qingju and the two of them shared two large pieces of salmon. The remaining salmon was fed to the seagulls, and the remaining bread was fed to the ducklings. Sitting on a bench by the lake, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, they felt that this was real life.
After lunch, Yunluo and An Qingjue ran to PuzzlingWorld (PU), which is 2 kilometers away from the center of Wanaka. The iconic building of PuzzlingWorld is a clock tower that looks like it is about to fall over. Every tourist will pose in different ways in front of it to take photos.
Another very famous place in Puzzelworld is the Roman toilet. One wall of the toilet is a painting. Because the painting is very three-dimensional, you feel integrated with the whole room. The package ticket is NZ$15 per person, and each ticket is NZ$12. You can get a discount when you go there with a coupon.
There is no discount for YHA cards. Half an hour is enough for the space, it's not very big.
There are two routes to Queenstown via the state highway: 1. Wanaka - Arrowtown - Queenstown (take the Crown Range route. In fact, there is no well on this road.
—Drive on the Arroe Highway in Arrowtown. The road conditions are not good and require high driving skills, but the scenery is great. Along the way, you will also see the beautiful vineyards in the Gibbston area and the bungee jumping on the Kawarau River Bridge. (To be continued...)
