    Theming Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

    Even if Kings Island was my home park, I hadn't ridden this since 2019 because it typically gets one of the longest lines in the park for what I thought was an overall mediocre ride. Then I rode it si...

    The theming on this is a masterpiece. The theming in the queue line makes the waiting not as miserable, despite it being like a 45 something minute wait every day. I love the launch, just sending you...

    Theming Inversions Fun Rattle Discomfort

    This launch coaster is fun! You start off with the best part of the ride the launch. Then you go into painful transitions in-between fun inversions. Then you go into a midcourse that puts you to a ful...

    One of my favorites at kings island but it bangs your head A LOT. Also long ass lines.

    Theming Nice surprise! Intensity Headbanging Capacity

    The cheesy sci fi preshow in the queue line is a true masterpiece 🛸

  • CoasterKing 8 days ago

    This is a decent launch coaster. It's not very exciting; the launch isn't very forceful and there's a very hard-hitting midcourse which saps all the force out of the second half. It's still an enjoyab...

    Theming Launch Fun Capacity Harness Discomfort

    FoF now holds a special place in my heart, but this thing was pretty uncomfortable. I loved the theming, but the restraints were tiny and barely fit me. (6’1 , 215 lbs with a fb player build) Those sh...

    This is the only thrill coaster whose theming has ever impressed me. God D*#m, it's cool. The launch? Awesome. Only coaster I've been on where it launches fullspeed from the station, really ad...

    Theming Capacity Harness Discomfort

    The Flight of Fear coasters pack alot of track in a compact, indoor setting. The Premier trains are just poorly designed for even average sized riders. I am 5'9, 180, and I felt crowded in the cramped...

    Theming and launch were good overall. It was a little cramped with the padding in the front and by the feet. I actually got sick off of this ride, mostly because I had just ridden Banshee minutes earl...

    I actually really liked this one a lot!! Minus the problems, it was an enjoyable coaster. Especially with the theming, I enjoy coasters with a lot of theming! Only issue is it’s slow with nothing to l...

    Theming Launch Fun Discomfort

    I feel like the clone at King's Dominion is a bit better. Sat near the back, and there's a little bump on the floor of the cart that crushed my left foot against the restraint.

    This ride has very good theming and a decent launch, but the ride has gotten rougher over time.

    Theming Headbanging Lap Bar

    The theming was good and I enjoyed the launch. However the ride itself induced a lot of headbanging. The seatbelts and restraints were odd too. The first and only time I was legitimately afraid that t...

    It has the potential to be top of the line if they do a few fixes also the final inversion in the front of the 3rd car is AMAZING

    Used to be much better launch was elite and it's way to much light in their now it used to be pitch black. I like the spaghetti bowl coasters just wish this one didn't get nerfed

    This one is also nearly the same as the one at Kings Dominion. The launch is great and the inversions are very intense, but my enjoyment of it is ruined by the rattle, poor tracking, and inability to...

    With a rattle, dead spots, and a terrible capacity, it seems like it would be a bad ride. Thankfully, the launch is good and the theming is great.

    Not the smoothest ride but the launch is punchy and the theming is good. Mid course almost brought it to a complete stop.

    This may just have the worst capacity in the park. It is super popular among the gp which makes the problem worse, and now with Orion, they may ride that and see this ride next to it and figure, “Migh...

    Some decent theming, and a nice launch. Flying through the darkness never gets old, and this ride mixes in some inversions for more insanity. The first launch and inversions are fast-paced, and the en...

  • Nathan Newcomer 2 years ago

    The launch is pretty intense, but the rest of the ride is blasé. It doesn't help that this often has the longest queue time of any ride at King's Island.

  • Unworthy Rider 2 years ago

    Launch Fun

    I waited 3.5 hours for this ride on the day it opened because it kept breaking down while I was in line. Obviously not worth that wait, but still a fun ride. Great launch.

    Powerful launch surrounded by fun theming, though the quality of the theming is noticeably weaker inside the ride than the queue. Much smoother than the other Flight of Fear at Kings Dominion, and it ...

    Theming Launch Disappointing!

    A decent launch coaster which is incased and supposedly in the dark alas there was enough light to see the whole layout which for me was disappointing for this type of coaster

    Well themed and punchy launch. Trains are very compact and a bit tricky to get into - bearing in mind I am of average height. Laterals in the first half punch hard. Mid course brakes completely kill m...

    I have loved this ride since I first rode it 15 years ago. The launch is more than decent, but being in the dark is what makes this thing great. You have no idea where you are going or what is comin...

    This is an intense ride with a forceful launch, snappy inversions, great theming, and is really thrilling in the dark. Lap bar sucks though.

    Most underrated part in the whole entire park. The theming all the way to the station is very well detailed and builds up lots of suspension. Definitely gives you a solid taste of rockin roller coaste...

    Great ride, number 3 in the park. One hell of an underrated ride and easily better than the east coast spaghetti bowls.

    Though Premier's trains are a tight fit and the MCBR hits very unreasonably hard, this is still a fun coaster. It's like an amalgamation of Orlando's indoor coasters. Aerosmith's launch and inversions...

    Spaghetti bowls are much less fun in the dark, when you can't brace for the next snappy transitions.
