Well this alternative (http://www.jetlev-flyer.com/) is $80K USD so the price seems incredibly affordable. Assuming it's accurate.

You'll be able to rent these in tourist shops. I'd wager flying around by yourself gets old after a while anyway, no matter how awesome this seems. Remember your first RC helicopter? How long did you keep playing with it?

How much for the leg muscles required to use it? :)
