Xtreme Skyflyer

Featured Replies

Hello everyone I am going to KI tommarow and I have ridden all the rides expect Skyflyer (even Slingshot). Is it a good ride and how does it rate to Slingshot and all the other rides? THANKS :lol:

You should expect great fun. Buy your ticket early and save mucho bucks. And expect to feel like you are wearing a straight jacket...because in reality, you will be! :)

When you go up its nerv racking and right before you pull the cord you start to think in your mind omgomgomg im going to die. But once you bull it its awsome.

Xtreme Sky Flier is freaking sweet. I love it! I usually do it every Sunday I'm in the park.

Same. Although now that i've finally ridden Slingshot I must say that I prefer that by a vast margin :D

Im not a huge slingshot fan I only ride it with my cousion casue no one else will ride it.

Doesn't Slingshot launch you off around 100 MPH?

No or it would say SLINGSHOT I think it is in the 50's range.

What are you trying to say?

I was thinking the same thing, Terp. Slingshot is fun, but I like Skyflyer better. Hanging at the top looking straight down is just bliss. And then that instant of complete free-fall when you pull the cord. Awesome.

I rode Skyflyer for the first time on sunday, and liked it. I didn't love it but it was fun. I used to scared to death of the ride and I finally convinced myself to do it. It was fun, and it's a must.

I like Slingshot a lot more than Skyflyer. Skyflyer doesn't provide that same rush as Slingshot and Skyscraper do.
