Heli jumps are cool, especially Rod Tinney's b/c of the ride before the jump. However, the balloon jumps are better overall. I remember a feeling of "weightlessness" for about 3 seconds upon exit. It is definitely worth the money! If you ever get a chance, JUST DO IT! The only drawback is picking your spot. Don't land by someone's house in case they have a big dog. Just my $0.02 worth.
