Amazing theming, the launch isn’t the most forceful thing in the world but it’s still fun. It’s a fairly rough ride, but it is one of Premier’s first coasters so it’s okay. Overall a good coaster!
More like flight of pain. Caused a severe neck jerk first one way and then unexpectedly the opposite direction. I reported it to park leadership who were listening intently to another families issue. I felt very dismissed, even tho the ride caused an instant headache and strong shoulder and neck/back pain. Was told to walk all the way across the park to report to the first aid office and that they would supposedly check out that particular seat. Longest wait in the park... Just to have you in pain after like on a car accident. This ride was always closed when I went to kings island often when I was younger... Now I know why. They need to shut it down immediately! I was told they shut down the vortex bc of many complaints of pain and headaches and that wasn't anything compared to flight of anguish! Shut it down!
Ouch this ride hurts! Do not try to ride with your hands up. You will regret it on the first turn after the launch. The track tosses and turns you all around which is exciting and painful. Give it a go but plan to give yourself a few minutes to recover after this one. There is some cool theming at the station and outside of the building.
JERKY! fun theme and cool intense ride, but kind of painful. Make sure to keep your head against the headrest, I have a friend who suffered a concussion on this ride.
This has to be my most absolute favorite ride! I’m 43 years old and have been coming to Kings Island since I was 6 years old and through all those years FOF does not disappoint! Yes, you definitely get shaken up a bit, but umm it is a roller coaster that does go upside down. But, it’s fast and personally I think it’s a longer than any other coaster in the park. Thank you “KI” you never disappoint!
I thought I was going to die on this ride. It’s too fun to be a 1star but too painful to be a 5. It’s a first generation LIM launch coaster but, man, does it need a retrack. The launch is the best part. Another thing is that the line is always over an hour long, and the line never moves, even with a fast pass. This thing absolutely terrified me, especially when I started to slip out of the car. it’s a good ride but definitely not for beginners. posted by 11yo boy
So I read reviews about this after the worst ride ending in painful tears in it's first week open so long ago. I read of people getting concussions and ending in terrible pain. I was unsure as I have major back problems. I tried it and just relaxed my whole body the whole time through and I didn't feel bad at all. it was great no problems. Try it. Pretty fun and unique.
I like the launch and the advancements this roller coaster has made It as pathed the way for more launches and it has a thrilling experience with the lights off even better with a cobra roll and sindwinder make is is the best start into a mid corse brake run and then drop a little and the sound of the wheels make it more fun with on snapping bridge of the art turn into a s helixes then a corkscrew in to the block brake in the final.
Must be 5'5 and 120 lb to ride this rider I was just on it the moment I got in they slammed the restraints down messing up my ankles and the supervisor didn't do anything
i love this ride so much, It's so fun and the launch at the start is amazing!! It does hurt a little but not that much for me.
