Splash and Scream on the Patriot Jet Boat
Get ready for speed, screams and splashes! The Patriot Jet Boat is perfect for romancing your date. Go on an entertaining, turbo-charged tour of San Diego’s most scenic waterfront spots. You’ll zip and zoom past military ships, along the downtown skyline, and under the iconic Coronado Bridge. With rock music pumping, feel the wind and the refreshing spray of San Diego Bay as the Patriot carves 360-degree turns and reaches speeds upwards of 50 mph. There’s nothing like it!
Or, take a cruise for whale watching, champagne brunch, gourmet dinner with music and dancing, beer-tasting, or ride a water taxi to Coronado Island. The jet boat ride and all the cruises by Flagship Cruises & Events provide panoramic views along San Diego Harbor.
Ride the Flight Simulators at the USS Midway Museum
Roll, somersault, spin and loop in the air in a two-person, state-of-the-art simulator, the Air Combat 360, for a pulse-pounding aerial combat ride where you control all the action!
Or, launch your F/18 off an aircraft carrier, hit every target, complete your air to air mission and land safely. You never know when circumstances change! Hold on and stay calm as you participate in the training exercise, ‘Screaming Eagles,’ in the virtual reality flight experience.
