coasterguy1991 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 (edited) What do you think is a better ride Xtreme Skyflyer or Slingshot? I'm going this weekend and I'm only gonna pay to ride one of them. Edited May 4, 2006 by Dane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Skyflyer. By a factor of about 1000. For me, at least. I find the Slingshot to be a bore. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Rider Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I cannot choose. but I rode Slingshot first. I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye-Beast Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Which ever you choose, if you get there early buy your ticket first thing, they are usually cheaper and you can come back to ride anytime that day with your ticket. Last time I was there I paid $5 for SlingShot, and two minutes later the price went to $10, by the time I left the park it was $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill_Biscuit Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Skyflyer gives you longer g's in the gut than slingshot. Plus you can look around more (slingshot flips too much). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Skyflyer is $5 in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Why not do both. They normally always run some kind of special. I have seen skylier being as cheap at $5 dollars. The last time I did Skyflier it was $10 a person which was back on Easter. Singshot also has these deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Attack! Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 hey yeah buy your ticket first thing in the morning. games runs those stands and controls the prices, they want you to ride when you buy the ticket or that is the intention anyway, but they don't inforce this so buy it early and come back at peak. I would personally choose slingshot especially because not many parks have it, or if you really want to uro bungey will be open in the morning, I don't know how thrilling it is but in the morning last year I charged a dollar to some of the earliest guests. so it might be worth your dollar to try.

jlopez Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I Havnt been on either, but if i was to get on one i would choose slingshot. --jenni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I have never rode either one of them but i thnk that Slingshot would be more thrilling. But from what i have heard Xtreme Skyflyer is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I rode Skyflyer, and it is a fun ride, but after the first couple of swings, there is not much to it. I have never tried Slingshot, but would like to. The $5 deals they have in the mornings are a good deal, considering they have been known to charge as much as $20 per person for it! As for the Eurobungee, I would imagine that it would be a rather boring thing to experience. I could not see people paying $7 to do that thing. It wastes space, and that location would be better served by some sort of attention grabbing flat ride. That side of Coney Mall needs some TLC as it is a little "dead."

italianchef Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 That's tough because I love them both. This much I'll say: Xtreme Skyflyer - I got nervous on the way up and scared when I was dropped. After that, it was smooth sailing as I swung like a pendulum. Sling Shot - I never screamed so much in my whole f---ing life!! It was scary and awesome at the same time. My adrenilin rushed - and the view of the Eiffel Tower while spinning backwards. WOW!!! Awesome! Hence, I recommend Sling Shot. Have a great weekend!

coasterking123456 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I haven't ridden any of those but, I think Sling Shot is more thrilling by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 They are both awesome. Skyflyer might be a little scarier. I can never make up my mind. After I ride Slingshot I think Skyflyer is scarier - then after Skyflyer I think Slingshot is scarier. Have a nice day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JxAx Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Skyflyer is $5 in the morning Thats a pretty good deal, i guess. It looks pretty fun. Maybe I'll try it sometime this year if it's 5 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I've only ridden Sling Shot but Skyflier looks like it might be more fun. I would think that Skyflier would have a lot more suspense considering you have to be hoisted up and it's probably a lot more 'free' feeling that SlingShot.

BoddaH1994 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 After having finally done Skyflyer, I'd have to say that Skyflyer is more thrilling while Slingshot is more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkifreak Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I personally like slingshot better but both are fun! Do one on Saturday and one on Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pkiguy1/deta...scd.jpg&.src=ph Sling Shot http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pkiguy1/deta...scd.jpg&.src=ph SkyFlyer Yeah if you can get your tickets while they have those specials going on, it's a great deal. I think the cheapest I have paid for both was 10 dollars per ride. Skyflier I think is scarier when you do it by yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StXsteven Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Slingshot goes by so fast you don't feel it in your stomach at all.. I was honestly extremely dissapointed. On my extreme scale I give it a 3/10. Skyflyer is amazing especially if you pull the ripcord. On my extreme scale I give it a 7/10. Especially the fact you feel to safe on Slingshot, your in a ball, sitting down. On slingshot your sitting in a vest held by strings, plus your laying down... so thats just me I guess. I got my moneys worth on both though, but I find skyflyer much more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeliriumDreamer Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 In my opinion, slingshot is more relaxing than thrilling. So if you want to try these out, and you're not sure how much excitement you can handle, try slingshot first. If you want a bigger thrill, go for skyflyer. I personally love both.

screamingnight Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 It would be cool if KI got a screaming swing like CP did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Skyflyer is definately scarier than Sling Shot. But both rides are awesome. After my third ride on Slingshot I realized its just plain fun. I love it. Used to be terrifyed of it though. Skyflyer is just AMAZING. You MUST do it sometime.
