Whales_Rock Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 So I went to Kings Island with a good amount of people from my school, and we rode FOF once, but no one liked it or wanted to go back on, even though the line was only 20 minutes! Whoever I go with doesn't seem to like it or never wants to go back on, and I think they're crazy because I love FOF! Am I alone? I mean it wouldn't have such long lines all the time if no one liked it. So does any one else consider Flight of Fear their favorite ride? Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 My favorite ride? No. One of my favorite rides? Yes. Flight of Fear is a truly wonderful ride...one of the best at Kings Island. Where do you like to sit on it? Quote
Whales_Rock Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 In the very back. To me it's the fastest. I haven't tried the very front yet though, as the lines have been extremely long for it, but I really want to. I've sat in the front, just not the very front Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 It is one of my wifes favorite rides. I enjoy it as well, but not my favorite. Quote
Fear the Four Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I love front seat on Flight of Fear. The only thing I don't like about it is going into cobra roll... It's a little rough. Have you ever tried 5-1 on Vortex? Quote
ziplock Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I love Flight of Fear. It's probably my second favorite ride at KI. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Have you ever tried 5-1 on Vortex? Rode 5-1 this past Monday. Terpy would be proud. Smooth, but I think 7-1 gives more air. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 It is Ture, The front seat is one of the best rides on FOF. It's honestly the only seat I ever sit in when I do ride it...Personal prefrence I spose! Quote
Whales_Rock Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 Well maybe The Beast is my favorite.... I like them equally maybe a tad bit more FOF. 5-1 on Vortex? No. I've only been on it twice because I'm afraid I'm going to get a permanent headache... Quote
CincyMan98 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 My second favorite. It's a little rough and jerky, but it's still very fun. The theme is great. Mid course brake run.....I disapprove. Only thing I hate about the ride. Quote
Fear the Four Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Have you ever tried 5-1 on Vortex? Rode 5-1 this past Monday. Terpy would be proud. Smooth, but I think 7-1 gives more air. I rode 5-1 Monday also and it was my first in that seat. The first drop surprised me and it was silky smooth. Quote
ziplock Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I thought it was rough after the MCBR. But before that, I didn't find it at all jerky. Quote
HTCO Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Flight of Fear is a nice ride. But not one of my favorites. I've been to the park already around 6 to 7 times this year, and I have not ridden it yet this season. I'm still fine! Quote
Johnnygolucky08 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Does anybody know if the trains from King Cobra are still inside the FOF building, or if they were moved for parts for Shockwave at Kings Dominion? Quote
HTCO Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I know they are not inside FOF anymore... Question is, where are they now? Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Does anybody know if the trains from King Cobra are still inside the FOF building, or if they were moved for parts for Shockwave at Kings Dominion? Yes. Someone knows. Seriously, the trains are no longer in Flight of Fear's drum building... ...and have been moved to KD, at last accounting... Quote
KIBOB Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I love front seat on Flight of Fear. The only thing I don't like about it is going into cobra roll... It's a little rough. Have you ever tried 5-1 on Vortex? 5-1 is truly amazing. I rode in that seat about a week ago and it was VERY smooth. However, from what i have just learned after visiting the park today, I recommend NOBODY ride in Vortex 4-1. I thought "one row up should'nt make much of a difference", but that was probably one of the roughest rides on Vortex i've been on. I know, a little off topic...... By the way FoF is in my top 5. Quote
bkroz Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Flight of Fear is definitely in my top ten, because it's an experience. I wouldn't ever consider Joker's Jinx in my top 10, or even 50. There's something about the full experience, the darkness, the colored lights, the music, the tension, the mystery, the build-up, the everything... It's one of those "medium-sized" rides that, for better or worse, we won't see at Kings Island anymore. If Cedar Fair had bought the park any earlier, we might've ended up with a Joker's Jinx, and it just wouldn't be the same. Great parks are made of big huge thrill rides and smaller, well-themed rides. With Cedar Fair and Paramount, we ended up (thus far) with a nice combination and a world-class collection. It's a good thing. Quote
Johnnygolucky08 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Does anybody else think that riding FOF with the lights on would be amazing? I do.. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Many here have seen it run with the lights on. And even few maybe have riden it with the lights on. That would be a fun KIC Event thing, ERT on FOF with the lights on, put it together with the tour yall did a few years ago, I think it would be awesome! Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Before/after that tour, rides were available on FOF with the lights both on and off.... This has also occurred during other ERT events over the years... Quote
BeastForever Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 FOF is a great ride. I went to KI yesterday and rode that ride with my friend who has never ridden it before. When he rode it he said it was probably his best ride all day! He loved that ride! Quote
Johnnygolucky08 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Im gonna ride it tomorrow, well today actually:P Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I'm in the minority I suppose as someone who dislikes Flight of Fear. I only end up riding it if someone wants to. Sure it can have its good rides but it's never regularly gives me a good ride, just my opinion however. At least its better then Face/off. Quote
RingMaster Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Does anybody else think that riding FOF with the lights on would be amazing? I do.. I've ridden it both with the lights on and with the lights off, and I mean ALL the lights off. No show lights or anything. Riding it in pitch black is the freakiest thing ever, because you have NO CLUE where you're at or where you're going. I actually like FOF better than Diamondback. Yes, you heard me right. BETTER than Diamondback. But only because of the whole experience and added theme to it. I love D-Back because it's smooth and gives out amazing amounts of airtime, but FOF is a twisted, mangled mess of a coaster that's indoors and is themed to a government conspiracy reminiscent of the cheesy 50s B-movie alien/monster flicks (cheesy sci-fi music and all). Quote
DropZone99 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 It's one of the better coasters at Kings Island but probably not even in my top 30. Someone mentioned it'd be fun with the lights on... I've ridden with the lights on, lights completely off, show lights on, light on the first half than off the second, and flickered. All in one day too Quote
pkiboy Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Does anybody else think that riding FOF with the lights on would be amazing? I do.. Been there done that many of times Ive also rode with the Lights Flickering on and off to now thats what I call a Good FOF ride. Quote
