Rock Hill has a fair currently in operation for a short while. I found out they have helicopter rides offered for a whopping $30! That is a big deal!

I traveled to Rock Hill this week near the Galleria Mall. As I ride to grab gas, I see a helicopter in the middle of the parking lot. As I look further, I see a sign advertising $30 rides. I remember seeing helicopter rides at the beach when I was younger and currently as an adult. I can't lie, it used to scare me, but I was also afraid of heights. I never thought I would see them available this far away from the beach.

Although I didn’t get on the helicopter this time, this is still a great and exciting way for people to get to know the Rock Hill area. To get more information on how you can get your helicopter ride, you can ride down to the city like I did, or you can log onto helicopterscharter.com!

North Carolina Home To One Of The Top Helicopter Tours

Lots of people love things that cause an adrenaline rush! Recently a friend of mine went skydiving for his birthday and loved it. Personally, I'm a bit more reserved. Rollercoasters, bungee jumping, and stuff like that aren't my thing. But I think riding in a helicopter would be cool! I've been on a hot air balloon ride and loved it, so I think I'd like a helicopter.

USA Today has a list of the 'Best Helicopter Tours for 2022' and one of the locations is in North Carolina. How amazing would it be to see the lights of Las Vegas or the Grand Canyon from the air? And it'd be awesome to see the ocean from above! Years ago I went parasailing at the beach and it was wild! I was ridiculously nervous, and my hands were all sweaty, but I'm glad I did it. The water is beautiful from above.
