Born to fly? Head to Gravity Adventure Park and get in line for the Lone Star State's tallest bungee jump, the Bungee Grande; or try falling from the ground up on the reverse bungee ride, The Rocket.

If you've got a little daredevil, send them on the Bungee Chico to experience a pint-sized version of bungee jumping.
