Flight of Fear • Kings Island

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.

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.

Theming Launch Dead spots

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 felt darker in there too. Really fun ride, just not built to a particularly large scale.

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

Rattle Discomfort Pointless

This one definitely runs faster than the KD one which actually makes it worse. The ride is very rough and the jerky transitions are extremely painful, it gave me a headache which never happens on coasters for me. Plus since the coaster is in complete darkness you can barely see the upcoming horrible transitions and you have no time to brace for them. Even though this one runs faster than the one at KD, it still feels like it’s going to valley at many points and the ride is just pretty forceless overall. Even the launch on this one didn’t do anything for me. Overall this ride does nothing and hurts like crazy, a perfect recipe for one of the worst coasters I’ve ridden.

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 momentum. Would actually be better if the main launch was slower, and less braking at half way. Slow queue so is a once-and-done

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

Nice surprise! Fun Intensity Capacity

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 coming next. They do have some lights in the "spaghettis bowl" but those only serve to blind you even more and keep your eyes from ever fully adjusting. The theming was better years ago that the last time I was there. You used to be a bit more involved in the video that is playing while you wait. They used to turn the lights out completely and alarms would go off. It was rather entertaining. It was needing as this the line for this is incredibly slow moving. That is it's biggest negative--the low capacity. It used to have two lines, but now only one. The ride itself is fantastic. Tons of twists, turns and inversions all in an almost impossibly small area full of twisted track. A rather unique ride that is very entertaining.

Theming Launch Intensity Lap Bar

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

Theming Inversions Launch

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 coaster with the nice launch and inversions. But obviously the best part of this ride is that its in the dark so you cant see most of the ride. One thing I would change is the mid course break run from pretty much completely stopping the momentum of the ride but overall this is a top ride in the park and a must do.

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

Really awesome and intense premier coaster

I’ve taken a ride on the Flight of Fear and it surprised me by way over meeting my expectations of an indoor coaster. It’s a nice break from the heat, just the right enough wait times, and it’s launch was incredibly thrilling! Overall, I love the Flight of Fear and might purchase the Fastpass Plus just for it.

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, Mummy's turns and pacing, and Space Mountain's theming. I'm fond of Premier's intense twisty layouts and I'm happy about their modern comeback.

Theming Launch Intensity

Flight of Fear is an awesome Premier Launch Coaster. The LIM Launch is very intense and heads straight into the spaghetti bowl. The Inversions are fun and forceful. The ride is great in the dark and the theming throughout the queue is awesome. I love this ride and is my fifth favorite in the park.

Inversions Launch Intensity Discomfort

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

Launch Fun Intensity Dead spots

The first half of this coaster is wonderful; Intense, fast inversions that leave you utterly disoriented. Then it hits the trim brakes and the second half of the ride is a slow, not disorienting disappointment.

Theming Comfort Launch Layout

I really don't understand the hate for this ride! It's a great ride, can be a bit jerky, but at least it doesn't have OSTRs!
