Indoor Skydiving Facility Coming Near SunTrust Park

SMYRNA, GA — Another new attraction is coming to Cobb County, thanks to the development of SunTrust Park.

iFLY is an indoor skydiving facility that is now under construction at I-285 and Cobb Parkway, according to the AJC.

iFLY is an experiential entertainment company that started in 1998 as SkyVenture, according the company's website.

"Once we had developed the technology to create a stable, wall-to-wall cushion of air in a flight chamber, we knew we could offer an incredibly realistic and safe indoor skydiving experience," the company said.

It opened its first indoor skydiving facility in 1999, and by 2005, it had opened three more. In 2005, it rebranded itself as iFLY.

Today, iFLY has 37 locations around the world in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia. The Cobb location will be the company's first in Georgia. It is set to open in early November.
