Theming Fun Duration Discomfort

Wow what to say about this! Having closely followed the construction it was amazing to finally be stood in this incredibly themed area ! It's amazing to see the mess of track everywhere, its so hard to see where the track goes sometimes ! So much interaction with the themeing and it twists and turns around itself so much in such a compact space! The color of the track looks epic against the black and gold steam punk themeing of the area. The queue line is ridiculously long ! takes 10 mins pretty much to just walk through it ! I wonder if they don't have a way to shorten it when the line isn't that long because it is a long way to walk when there is no line. Although you get amazing views of the coaster and the area while waiting in line. The system of how you load and how you twist into the flying position is so unique and much much better than other flying coasters out there. Of course the launches are not amazing, but the fact that you're in the flying position makes it really fun. the layout is awesome and you can never tell whats coming next, on the back row you really get whipped around its a lot of fun ! I sadly didn't get to try on the front, but that must be special. My first ride I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the harness and even the leg supports, very different to the B&M flyers. However I did have a terrible and painful 2nd ride on this which I was disappointed by. We were in row 2 and it felt like my restraint wasn't tight enough so the full pressure was resting on my lower stomach (I had a c section 1 year ago and the pressure on this area hurt a lot ! ) I constantly felt like I was slipping out of the seat and was in pain it was really not a pleasant experience. It nearly made me avoid it the next day as I was worried it would be the same. But luckily I found a better position and then really enjoyed my 3rd ride ! I'm not a huge fan of flying coasters, I much prefer faster launches and airtime but the overall theming and experience is pretty epic !

Theming Launch Fun Discomfort

Exceptional coaster that left me speechless after every single ride. Managed to get 4 rides on this beauty; first at the very back, which provided great whip throughout the masterpiece of a layout. Second ride was at the very front, and just wow - the airtime combined with the view combined with the near-misses is just phenomenal, and the interactions throughout Rookburgh just makes the ride. My third and fourth rides were in the middle, and they were still amazing. My only complaint with FLY is that the restraints on the legs can feel quite loose at times, and the vest restraints can hurt the collarbone, so try to avoid that when riding. The preshow (no spoilers) is just absolutely incredible, and I didn’t expect any of it. Great first flying coaster, and the best in the park for me.

Theming Launch Pace

This coaster is amazing. It gives you a unique experience, flying around the magnificent Rookburgh. This themed land only is breathtaking, but the coaster itself lives up to this incredible theme, the launches are such a sensational experience in the flying position. One of vekoma finest works.

Airtimes Theming Inversions

F.L.Y was my first and only Flying Coaster and it exactly delivered what i was expecting. You enter Rookburgh, and this Rollercoaster helps you to really spread your Wings and Experience the Area in such a cool way. The Airtime feels really cool on a Flying Coaster and it has plenty of it. Just like every other ride at Phantasialand, this isnt just another Rollercoaster but more of a completly new idea brought to life. And i love it! Perfect 5/5 for me

Airtimes Theming Launch

I have reriden this since last time (2021-11-21) Back in November sadly I had a very bad experience on this ride because all weight was put on my colar bone rather than my shoulders. This was incredibly painful. If this happens to you too, you have to pull the harness a bit to the side so it rests on your shoulders. This time around I had an amazing night ride in the backrow. And a decent daytime ride in the front row. If you can get in the backrow, I highly recommend it, the sensation of flight is soo much better in the back than it is in the front. It's also not worth waiting to get a front seat. Or if you want to, just do it once, because it adds alot of extra wait time, even if the rest of the ride is basically a walk-on. The queue's theming is amazing, but it's outrageously long. Kinda similar complaint to the big coasters at Energylandia. The walk alone takes about 5-10 minutes, which is a shame. The ride itself is amazing. From the holograms at the beginning, to the flying in rookburgh. The launches are decent, not the best, but having it in the flying position is definitely an awesome experience. Honestly the ride almost made me cry of happiness because of how floaty and dreamy you get in the backrow. Highly recommend and definitely a must do for anyone.

F.L.Y isn't the fastest, highest blabla but its sure as Heck a really really amazing experience that you cant get anywhere else. It really feels like you are spreading your Wings and just fly through this Amazing Themed area. I really recommend the Nightrides too since Rookburgh shines in beautiful warm colors from lovely detailed lamps combined with rusted steel and cold blue... its a piece of art on every Level. If you are from or come to Germany, stop by and fly

Airtimes Theming Duration

Exceptionally Phenomenal ride with amazing theming, great layout and one of the most emersive experiences. In my opinion one of the best coasters in Germany and one of the greatest things the Amusement Industry has to offer right now.

Comfort Masterpiece Duration

Whilst the coaster may not be world-beating, the environment within which it sits is an absolutely world-class masterpiece that is frankly unmatched. The sheer levels of immersion are unbeatable for me, the integration of the coaster into this intricately detailed and story-rich land makes this one of the best theme park experiences anywhere, globally.

Theming Fun Masterpiece

It's an incredible masterpiece that works both as a fun ride and a thematic centerpiece in the area! It really makes you feel like you're flying and has surprising forces throughout the layout. Front is more focused on airtime, whereas back is more about pacing and positives.

Masterpiece Smoothness Duration

I have ridden a lot of roller coasters over the years, including jewels such as Taron, Helix, Zadra and Untamed, but after haven ridden F.L.Y. a total of eight times, including a breathtaking front row seat at night... this takes the crown for me as being my number 1 coaster. It's simply astounding! I realise a lot of people would prefer a coaster to be ridiculously intense, forceful and airtime heavy to make it their number one, but for me, F.L.Y. is the first and only coaster I have ridden which has nailed itself on the "complete package", top-to-bottom. This coaster is very long, it's beautifully smooth, has great airtime moments and is actually quite intense in a few places (especially on the back seats). The seats themselves I found to be quite forgiving as a chunky guy, more than a B&M flyer I found and given the way you sit down, when you are in the flying position, you feel far more exposed as you fly round the track (in a great way!) compared to other flying coasters. But the best part about F.L.Y. is the fact the whole experience is unlike anything else out there in the world - Rookburgh is phenomenal, the interaction with theming is stunning, the soundtrack is beautiful and at night, this coaster is something truly special. I strongly urge readers to try this coaster at night on the front row! It's not often a coaster makes me feel euphoric, but F.L.Y. has done exactly that. To me, this is my perfect coaster and just proves you don't need to be the tallest, fastest or most intense to be the best!

Theming Smoothness Layout Intensity

It's a great ride but it just does a lot of things good but nothing special. Launches are okay. Theming is great but nothing special for Phantasialand. Taron is doing that better. It's also not really intense like the b&m flyers are. Overall solid ride but overhyped for me

Theming Masterpiece Intensity

One of the best rollercoasters I have ever done in my life. Best theming in the world.

Inversions Fun Smoothness

This is pure fun and theming to perfection ?. It was so much better than expected. Also it the back the ride can be quite intens and the inversions are super whippy. The feeling of being pulled down to the ground while facing down is so amazing! And then a million near misses, this coaster is perfection! In addition to this the transition from seating to flying is a very intricate mechanism and well designed.

Fun Masterpiece Layout

What a ride. In my book the best at Phantasialand. Rookbourg, the World around FLY is beautiful. The Restraints are surprisingly very unrestricting, so that you get a good dose of Airtime at three points on the ride after the second launch. Btw Airtime on a Flying Coaster feels absolutley Insane and is not really comperable to regular Airtime. The Layout is mostley made up of Helixes and Curves which are great in giving a sensation of Flying. Also the corkscrew and some other parts of the ride felt quite intense. The ride is as smooth as it gets and there was not even one dead spot on the ride. Definitely my favorite coaster at Phantasialand.

Theming Layout Duration

First, Rookburg's theming is outstanding. The story and queue line is very interesting. Before boarding the train, its all made as if you board a plane at a fantasy airport (as well as the security check with metal detector). Gladly they dont rip off the rides as six flags does with their lockers (here they are free). The ride's tech is pretty interesting since the first of its kind. The ride starts side ways along some theming then turns and the seats turn as well until you're in prone position. Many people here say the vest restraint are uncomfortable, I can't really complain, didn't bother me. The first launch is less forceful than Taron's but in the front seats you get some airtime at like 2 spots. The second launch was a bit forceless I thought. The layout is interesting, a bit of a spaghetti bowl like Taron but less intense direction changes. The layout is missing some spice, like an interesting element. There are 2 airtime moments and 2 corkscrews but they are not very intense. Although the ride is very smooth and also uncommonly long. Theming: 5/5 Ride comfort: 4,75/5 Layout: 4/5 Intensity: 3,5/5

Theming Inversions Duration Intensity

Awesome theming with a great ride! The ride overall is pretty tame, but cool. I wouldn't say it's intense but the inversions give a nice feeling. It really makes you feel like you're flying, but because of that it doesn't have intense elements like a pretzel loop. But the ride is very long and it's not boring. Very fun ride with comfortable seats!

Airtimes Masterpiece Capacity

The first time I rode this coaster, I did not know what to think, it did not feel comfortable. But the second time I leaned into the harnass better, I let my head down and did not try to look foreward but just down, and man.. This coaster is truly something else completely. It is a true masterpiece in layout, airtime, theming, and the darkride section always gave me shivers. Go ride it when you can, and try to relax into the harnass and it will be an experience you will never forget....

Theming Masterpiece Intensity

the area looks incredible, it is really intense, has a good capacity, very friendly ops, the layout is amazing, the airtime is pretty good, even the launches aren't that bad overall an incredible experience. the restraints are also good and easy to understand, it has a beautiful soundtrack and the pacing is amazing it's also smooth af and a long ride. however it is extremely hard to rank this ride the coaster it self isn't that good but everything around it makes it an incredible coaster

Theming Masterpiece Smoothness

What was that! Coaster is perfect. Theming is masterpiece. Layout, intensity and launch are perfect It's the best Vekoma in the world. I love this coaster. Best of the bests.

Nice surprise! Masterpiece Duration

Simply amazing, top of the bill coaster that even outdoes Taron. This ride is SO immersive it really blows your mind. It may not be the highest, fastest or most intense coaster, but the experience is simply incredible …

Theming Launch Masterpiece

The launch is insanely forceful and it’s overall a fun ride with it’s surprising intensity and overall great theming.

Theming Masterpiece Smoothness

A true masterpiece! I was blown away, the second the seats went into flying position. The layout is more intense than I thought it would be, after hearing several opinions beforehand. It also provides a solid amount of airtime, to tackle the positive forces. The interaction with the dense world of Rookburgh is absolutely fantastic and is definitely best in the front row!

Theming Smoothness Duration

This ride was just...WOW! First of all, the area Rookburgh looks absolutely amazing, there are many details you can spot after multiple times and also the sound design is pretty cool. After passing the queue line, you reach the impressive station and board the vehicles. The riding postition might feel quite unusual, but after I got used to it, it was pretty cool and albeit the launches are not really intense, the very long and twisted layout has some nice forces and doesn't get boring at all - a real highlight is the second uphill launch and the following airtime moment which feels awesome on a flying coaster! I highly recommend this unique flying experience to everybody!

Theming Smoothness Layout Intensity

First of all - the best coaster from Vekoma that I have ridden. If this coaster was build in the parking lot, I would rate it with 3 stars at most and it would be just pretty average coaster. What makes the great experience to me, is everything all around the coaster. Soundtrack and all of the amazing work that Phantasialand made in Rookburgh. It is spectacular and probably one of the best in the world.

Theming Smoothness Duration Discomfort

Fly is a masterpiece in its category: familial ++. Gorgeous theming which procures a very complete sensorial experience, i felt like a child for my first ride, maybe the hype blinded me a bit when it comes to judge it properly, but the overall experience and the story behind it make it so unique and incredible. The interaction and the feeling of flying plus the duration make it a worthy ride to wait for, even more that its capacity is amazing for this kind of ride, never wait more than 30min even when the waiting lines reach the entrance stairs ! I'm impressed by the amount of staff that this machine needs, this is insaneeeeee and must cost so much to operate it's unbelievable, thanks it's in Phantasialand and their great management ! If i had to say some negativeness about it i would say that the layout is lacking a short on -the-back element to bring some weirdness and surprise in the body feeling. For the first time in my life i felt dizzy and nauseous after some rides. The zone is still not as pretty as Klugheim to me but it truly feels like a dream child vision !

Theming Masterpiece Layout

F.L.Y is a brilliant new ride. It is crafted into one of the best if not the best themed area in existence. The ride is phenomenal and really does provide the sensation of flying through the steampunk theming. Positives are on point, transitions are whippy and the launches are not amazing but good enough in order to not take away from the experience and the ride is incredibly long. The new ride system absolutely deliveres both in terms of the coaster ride as well as the darkride sections. I love how the transition to the flying position and back are part of the ride and fit in with the storyline. Restrsints are comfortable and easy to use for the riders. The coaster does not quite live up to Taron but it gets very close but the theming combined with the way it is crafted actually makes it a superier overall experience. F.L.Y is also part of the rookburgh experience. I had the opportunity to stay at the Charles Lindbergh Hotel which I can absolutely recommend. Views are phenomenal and you can really get up close with the coaster. The whole themed area deliveres such a complete experience which at the time of the review it is probably the best in the world. Also big thumbs up for their locker system. It just works well and makes riding fly without geting smacked by flying phones effortless.

Fly is an intresting new ride which gives a very different feeling than other coasters. Fantastic theming in Rookburgh.

Theming Masterpiece Smoothness

First row is amazing.

Theming Smoothness Discomfort

Fantastic theming in the whole Rookburgh area! The integration of FLY is an architectural/engineering masterpiece. Unfortunately, this is still a flying coaster and I dislike this type of coaster a lot. I don't feel like flying - I feel like hanging. Headdache included.

Theming Comfort Fun

A wonderful experience from the beginning till the end in a beautifully themed area. It's perhaps not the most intense ride, but the flying experience is very fun. For me it was also a very comfortable and smooth ride.

Capacity Fun Duration Harness

This ride, is together with the area it's in an overwhelming experience. The duration of this coaster is endless and really good. Next to that it's a very comfortable ride, the harness can be a bit rough but for a flying coaster it's really good. Another + point is the capacity, Vekoma & Phantasialand really outdid themselfs (again) with this ride. It's very high on my list and I can't wait to F.L.Y. again!

Theming Masterpiece Duration

What a great ride, i was not expecting it to be that forcefull! The area, the coaster and the theming are just perfect! Phantasialand knows how to do it for sure and it was worth the 4 year wait :’)

Theming Masterpiece Intensity

Absolutely a masterpiece and really forceful aswell!

Theming Comfort Masterpiece

Oh my God, this Coaster. I have no words. The theming, oh my God, sooooooo beautiful. The pivoting seats, the comfort, the station, the queue. Oh my God, what a Coaster.

Theming Comfort Duration

Vekoma has come a long way! Really clever ride system, very smooth. I like it better in the front of the train; seems to give more airtime and force. A bit disappointed in the intensity, but it's just a really fun flying feeling.
