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.

I love tripsdrill and they nailed the theming with this one (as always). Unfortunately it suffers from the same problem as all family boomerangs I rode: More rattle than it should have, Forwards part feels slightly too fast and the backwards part feels slightly too slow. Vekoma has proven that they can build great coasters (like the ride intertwined with this one) but this ain't one of them unfortunately.
If you find the spinning mouse coasters boring I recommend you try this one. Its like the zamperla version but with an SBFVisa twist to it (Spoiler al...
If you find the spinning mouse coasters boring I recommend you try this one. Its like the zamperla version but with an SBFVisa twist to it (Spoiler alert: OTS restraints). In my opinion its absolutely horrible. The pain is real and even worse than that on an SLC

I wasn't expecting it but this might be one of the worst thing to have ever come out of SBF's factory (not the worst since that goes to another ride at this park). The side to side slaming is unbelievable.

Another great vekoma layout on this space warp model with a great balance of positive and negative forces. Unfortunately the restraints were quite restrictive and totally different from other vekoma vests like lech coaster. My main complaint however is the launch. I think that a forceless launch can ruin a ride quite badly and I would rather see more coasters with lifthills and decent drops being constructed so I do think that I would probably like the lifthill version of this more.
This ride blew away my expectations. It had so many incredible sustained airtime moments (most of which are ejector), one of the best first drops in e...
This ride blew away my expectations. It had so many incredible sustained airtime moments (most of which are ejector), one of the best first drops in existence and a fantastic layout. Personally i'm not a fan of the expression that a coaster feels "out of control" but the one ride that I got on this on the back left wing seat came really close to it. This ride is truely phenomenal. Furthermore Intamins fantastic "unstaplable" restraint design makes this ride just too much fun.
