Because the Glider bends in the middle, the floor in the centre turns as well. This is a safe area to stand in or walk through, but be sure to hold on to the railings to keep your balance and stay safe.

Once you are in your seat you are free to relax and enjoy the journey. There may still be a lot of noise because of people talking, or sounds coming from the Glider itself as its engine starts or it bends around corners. Remember there are USB ports for charging, as well as free Wi-Fi to make your journey more enjoyable until it’s time to get off.
