LordSkippy Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 The only thing I can tell you about it is that it's too expensive for me to want to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I've never ridden it since it costs money but I'm planning to this summer. It looks really fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfan85 Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 If you get your tickets early they're only $5 each then you can ride it anytime that day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast79 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I love it, I was on Skyflyers crew from 99 to 01 then I did maintenance on it from 02 to 03. I couldn't even guess how many times I have been one it since you have to ride it when your a site controller. I miss climbing it for inspections, I even climbed over the whole arch before.

DaveStroem Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 It is OK I was on it Sunday as well as Slingshot. To me it looks more thrilling then it actually is. There is only a split second of free fall before you feel the tug of the cable. I guess I just need to go jump out of a plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 beast79, i think your job as a maintenance man would be awesome, how often does that job position have an opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Next time I go to KI I am gonna bring 30 bucks so I can ride Sling Shot and Xtreme Skyfler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsIslandNinja Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Love it! I think its priced too much tho. Last year, when the park opened it was like 5 dollars per person. But ive never ridden slingshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Honestly never done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Xtreme Skyflyer is my second favorite flat ride at KI (#1 is Drop Zone obviously). I only ride it if it's $5 though. Really, I only ride it for the going up slowly, and than pulling the cord part. The rest is xtremely boring (pun intended). Slingshot is alot of fun also, I like it almost as much as Xtreme Skyflyer.

Oldiesmann Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I rode it once and that was enough for me. The initial drop is a bit thrilling, but after that you're just swinging through the air for a bit. I'd much rather spend my 100 nickels on Slingshot, which offers a unique view of the park.

XGatorHead 8904 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Love it! It's one of my favorite rides in the park, but I'll only do it if I happen to catch it at $5. I think it's much better than SlingShot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandAddict Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I have not been on either one. Xtreme Skyflyer looks alright but SlingShot doesn't look like my thing. Anything that spins a lot doesn't act good to me. I can barely even ride Scrambler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I love it, any time that I have ever done it, it has been at $5 even in the late afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkiboy Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Next time I go to KI I am gonna bring 30 bucks so I can ride Sling Shot and Xtreme Skyfler. It is a season pass perk on Sundays for Skyflyer for 5 bucks all day. Show your Gold or Plat pass at the time of sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom76257 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I rode it once and that was enough for me. The initial drop is a bit thrilling, but after that you're just swinging through the air for a bit. I'd much rather spend my 100 nickels on Slingshot, which offers a unique view of the park. Ditto. I too have only ridden Skyflyer once and don't have too much desire to ride it again. I got scared near the top of the wenching part too. Looking down at the ground from that height in that position made me a little nervous, and I'd rather not experience that again. Slingshot is an awesome ride for those that haven't ridden it yet. Some days certain ride ops that work it like to mess around and have fun with you too.
