  • We've had to explain how these Vekoma Flying Dutchman coasters work more than any other coaster we've posted on-ride POV videos of. Although it's not that hard to do, watching this video is much simpler than any explanation we could ever give.
    Check out the on-ride POV video we posted to see what it's like to ride in the front seat of this thrilling coaster: • Firehawk Front Row Sea...
    Kings Island is located near Cincinnati in Mason, Ohio.

      Hello, Taylor! Lol, i went yesterday on the 4th, and looks like the red paint is peeling off parts of it, and showing the original green, from when it was at Geauga Lake! Four hour drive from Sandusky, Ohio to Mason, Ohio. It was totally worth it!

    These are so much better than B&M Flyers, way better idea and way better layouts and a lot more intense. Glad to see Vekoma is trying to get back in the game with a new launching version, and the compact stingray model type as well. B&M only won because it's B&M, not everything they do is so great, flyers are their worst (I'd give Manta and Tatsu an exception allowed but I'd still ride Batwing over them anyday) besides the stand ups (hopefully more parks and chains will follow Cedar Flair and make them floorless or alternatively sit-down).

    It may look slow, but when you ride it, it feels insanely fast. I have ridden all the big coasters at Kings Island and Cedar Point and this was easily one of the most intense. I was swearing and laughing the entire time.

    This is the X-Flight from Geauga Lake. When G.L. shut down this was one of the only rides saved by Cedar Fair.

  • @StressDisorder
    @StressDisorder 11 лет назад

    In my opinion they are better than B&M's flying coasters because of the lay down postion instead of hanging, especially when queueing.
    Though this never took off because of the terribly slow loading system. Vekoma has been working to improve this, so hopefully we will see more and various layouts of this coaster type.

  • @timb1272
    @timb1272 11 лет назад

    it is kind of slow, but speed is not the thing that counts in this ride, it is the experience of laying down on a roller coaster! this thing is on of my favorite rollercoasters and I have ridden alot of tall and fast ones including the Diamondback and Phantom's Revenge

  • @dacasman
    @dacasman 11 лет назад

    Trust me this ride is very fun and unique. it's quite a different feeling from your typical roller coaster. the sensation of lying on your back is pretty different. and trust me, it doesn't make you feel sick. not me at least, and im very sensitive to motion sickness.

  • @remyo4992

      You have to close your eyes while going up the lift or the sun will fry them and you have to hold your ears or the chain noise will make your ears explode. Bad design, why can't the lift be the other way around? in other words your facing the ground?

      @makennanichole5851 8 лет назад

      Yes. When you get to the station its sat upright and when you are all locked in it lowers you back and then you go right to the lift hill. This is one of my favorite rides at kings island, and I have only rode it once which was only a few months ago. What is the other ride you have not been on? I would love to tell you about the other one, since I have been on every ride at kings island and I love talking about roller coasters.

    • @natekenny7106
      @natekenny7106 9 лет назад +3

      Michael de los Santos Well ok that was on a wooden coaster. On firehawk, the track is above you for almost the entire ride and there is a back to the trains so your hair would have to be like 6 feet or longer and completely let loose. You would have to try really hard to get your hair caught in it.

    I never understood gimmicks on rollercoasters. All this tilting back stuff and hanging upside down and hanging right side up and backwards and all that stuff. It doesn't add anything to the ride. All it does is disorient you. Coaster designers are desperate for new ideas. I guess I'm just a purist.
