I think I'd prefer MiG-29 ride: http://www.skyandspacetravel.com/included_sky.html

Not as high, but much cheaper, sky is already pretty black and you get a chance to control the damn thing.

previously they were flying mig-25 & 31 and these planes can go higher, especially mig-25, yet they are older and seems to be more harder(expensive) to maintain.
