The instructors have all the fun!
In the USA, there's a vertical wind tunnel in Orlando, FL (Sky
Venture)
One in Pigeon Forge, TN (FlyAway)
One in Las Vegas, NV (LV Indoor Skydiving)
And a portable one or two. Perhaps other locations too.
Haven't been to Pigeon Forge, but got up to flying the sky surf
board in Las Vegas.
Orlando has the smooth "wall to wall" air like the tunnel in the
video, but didn't take kindly to someone they don't know doing flips,
etc.
The portable ones are pretty cool, as you fly out in the open, about
20 feet above ground level.
There's a place very near to Zurich (CH) airport, if you're stuck
there with a long layover.
