It’s spring break and we’re rocking out with The Arctic Olympic Dive Show! It’s a high-energy aquatic thrill show that showcases divers plunging off an 85 foot-tall platform at speeds up to 55 miles per hour before a dramatic splash down into only nine and a half feet of water! Enjoy wildly entertaining acrobatic stunts, theme music and chaotic fun on a giant trampoline. As a climatic end of the final show, a diver will slip into a fire retardant suit, ignite it with a torch and burst into flames before launching themselves off a 25 foot-tall tower and into a pool below.
The Arctic Olympic Dive Show is an edge-of-your-seat experience that will begin with all the crowd-pleasing pageantry of an Olympic competition with breathtaking precision dives before all kinds of creative acrobatic chaos ensues and audience members are encouraged to participate in the fun and mayhem.
The 30-minute performances will be held at noon, 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. daily from Sat., March 12 through Sun., March 20 on the plaza behind the Zero-G restaurant.

Every other Friday in the Space Center offices the “Payroll Angel” makes her rounds. Regardless of how rough your day has been when she walks into your office the lights seems brighter, the air feels crisper and your rough day is a distant memory and it’s not just because she is dropping off a check. Britny radiates a positive energy and that is almost supernatural. What is the source of this amazing power? Family. Despite their struggles with sickness and hardship, they have persevered and become stronger. Her story is truly inspiring, so much so that yesterday she received a very special call.
The Space Center family wants to congratulate Britny on this amazing opportunity and thank her for all of the special moments she has created for us. We’re all watching and cheering for you girl! Enjoy your well deserved time with family and say hi to Ellen for us!
