gburn07 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Hey I know a pretty off topic question here since no one really talks about the extra paying attractions there. On TV i saw that slingshot at another park and it just looks sweet. I never really looked at the one at PKI because i'm usually too busy riding everthing else. I checked the site and found out it is a hefty $25 for it. So, for anyone that has ridden it b4, it it worth the $$ or should i buy three hot dogs with the money instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Slingshot is the best pay ride in the park, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvesterofyoursorrow Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I've heard that Slingshot is the tallest of its kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I don't really think they ever charge the full 25. The last two times I went It was only 10. Yes it is worth it even if it is the full 25 (but only for you first ride). After that, I wouldn't ride it again unless they are having a discount.

UCcatguy52 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 ^ Everytime someone gets off of Slingshot they say that they love it and would love to do it again even if its not their first time. I work on the crew so yeah, I think its worth it just from seeing all of the guests faces and hearing about it all the time after they ride.

gburn07 Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 I would think that, when it opened that the popularity of the skycoaster prob went down. Wouldn't that also mean they dropped their prices to 'compete' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelixSpiral Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I've heard that Slingshot is the tallest of its kind. PKI's Slingshot shoots up 265 ft. The Slingshot at Old Town in Kissimmee, Florida shoots up 365 feet. It also doesn't have the ball around the seats. It's pretty much two Drop Zone-style seats connected to the cables. I've ridden it and it's crazy, especially when you shoot up higher than the giant Skycoaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I know that PKI`s Skyflyer has been running deals for most of this year, and I believe last year, for flights at $10 a person. Also, Slingshot has been having specials, on some days, for Flights of $15 or $20, which is still a lot, but better than $25 a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gburn07 Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 Ya I went past that one in Orlando as well. I'm sure they charge you a hefty sum of bling bling for that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubaman Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I've rode Sling Shot for $12.50 a person. I was FREAKIN AWESOME! My advice is to go on it early in the morning. Be the first people to go on it that day. And don't be afraid to bargain with the operators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StXsteven Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Slingshot goes on my worst pay-ride. It goes so quick, your not scared, and you don't feel your stomack flop. All you do is go up and down, you go upside down but you don't relize it. I payed 12.50 not 25. It's fair but I don't recommend it. The best is the EXtreme Skyflyer. It's scary enough a bag/vest is holding you, but your laying down, you get lifted in the air, at a slow pace. Then the person on the right has to pull the rip cord, so your in charge of yourself falling, which is very scary to do. Then the feeling of falling is great, your adrenaline is pumping, you feel the wind in your face, it feels like your just dropping, before you go into swing mode, which is cool. That feeling of falling is even scarier, because right below you is rocks. I think this is deff. worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 It was only 5 dollers per person when I rode SKY FLYER , you can't bet that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I have been on Sly Flier its ok but not as good as Sling Shot. There is so muhc more going on in the 30 seconds on Sling Shot than the 1:30 on the sky flier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 If you didn't like Slingshot then ride it with the restraint loose! It is so much scarier when you sling up to the top, then on the downward pull you slide out of your seat and basically the only thing holding you in is the belt from your crotch to your restraint. Now that is scary (and also a tad painful on your manhood!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
