Inversions Launch Layout Rattle Discomfort Dead spots
This ride is pretty ok. The launch is fun and the first couple of inversions are solid. Unfortunately everything after the MCBR is slow and uneventful because it slows you down to a near stop. Also this ride is pretty shaky and jerky

Lap Bar Comfort Fun
I was getting butterflies in my stomach before I first got on. I already knew what to expect from POV videos online. I literally squeezed my eyes shut and covered my ears for the launch. But halfway through the launch track, I opened my eyes was already having fun. The main arena of Flight of Fear was dark, but a tad-bit lighter than I expected. Also, the second half after the mid-course brake run was faster than I expected, which is a good thing. There were a few head-choppers every now and then, all four inversions (cobra roll, sidewinder, corkscrew) were pretty intense, the lap bar was comfortable, and the curves were pretty steep. As soon as the ride hit the final brake run, the rest of the riders and I were applauding the amazing experience we all had. I give Flight of Fear an 8 or 9 out of 10, definitely would ride again!

Inversions Launch Pace Lap Bar
This is a very underrated ride. The first half is great, with a fun fast launch, and three fast, forceful, and disorienting inversions. Lots of people complain about the second half being rough and boring. While I can see people calling it rough, I don't think it's boring at all. The turns and transitions have very imperfect profiling, but it makes the second half feel a lot more out of control. I also love how your constantly building up speed. The last corkscrew is also pretty intense. My only con is the lap bar and the trains. The just aren't comfortable to sit in, but they don't detract much from the ride experience.

Launch Masterpiece
This is such a good indoor launch coaster. It’s sounds faster than it is but still. This is a master piece

Launch Fun Intensity Discomfort Lap Bar
The launch is incredible and it's a fun ride, but the restraints are some of the worst I've ever experienced. I got stapled and my thighs hurt really badly the next day. The lines are also usually fairly long because it's indoors.

Launch Fun Layout Rattle Dead spots
Though there is a rattle, it's not that bad. You don't notice it over the back to back rapid transitions. Though the MCBR kills the ride a little bit it picks right back up and it's amazing. This ride is truly underrated. I find it better than dominator in the same park! The launch is also fun as well. I'd recommend this ride, though it looks dark and ominous, by the time you're done with the launch you'll love it!

Inversions Launch Intensity
These are great clones by Premier. I prefer Kings Island's clone slightly more but this one is good as well. The launch is forceful and the spaghetti bowl layout is fun. The inversions are great as well.

Theming Launch Rattle
Flight of Fear is an incredibly themed launch coaster. The theming in the spaghetti bowl is not fantastic, but the queue is well-themed. This theme isn't super cohesive, but it works. The ride itself is pretty fun, but it does have a noticeable rattle. The layout is pretty whippy. The ride is good, but not great.
