This isn't really related to dumb things people said, but while we're on the topic of Flight Deck...
I rode it for the first time this past weekend (I'm still pretty new to riding most of the larger stuff due to previous squeamishness in general). I liked the speed, but couldn't help but think how much better it would have been had it been as long as The Bat.
A pretty thrilling ride overall, and I'd do it again...but the walk through the queue shouldn't take longer than the ride, IMO.
