There's a brief pause right after you pull the cord on the handheld SkyScraper launcher, before the plastic disc goes sailing up into the sky. That tiny moment between action and reaction somehow adds to the thrill, perhaps by creating the impression that nothing much is going to happen here. Then suddenly - whoosh - the level of lift and thrust, often greater than 100 feet, far exceeds your expectations. Another surprising element is the degree of directional control the SkyScraper gives you. Aim it straight up (get ready to crane your neck) and straight up it goes. Or get out in an open area and angle the launcher slightly with the intention of having the disc come to earth at a targeted spot. There are countless games you can create. Have two or more friends with SkyScrapers launch simultaneously and watch them cross paths or collide high up in the air. The soft plastic discs always gently return earthward. There are 3 discs included. There's also a pack, available separately, of 6 glow-in-the-dark discs (3 green, 3 yellow) for nighttime action. No batteries necessary - this exciting outdoor fun is powered by you!
