May 4, 200620 yr 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, 200620 yr by Dane
May 4, 200620 yr Skyflyer. By a factor of about 1000. For me, at least. I find the Slingshot to be a bore. But that's just me.
May 4, 200620 yr 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.
May 4, 200620 yr Author I'm going to be there all day saturday and sunday. I'll probally do one on each day.
May 4, 200620 yr Skyflyer gives you longer g's in the gut than slingshot. Plus you can look around more (slingshot flips too much).
May 4, 200620 yr 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.
May 4, 200620 yr 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.
May 4, 200620 yr I Havnt been on either, but if i was to get on one i would choose slingshot. --jenni
May 5, 200620 yr 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.
May 5, 200620 yr 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."
May 5, 200620 yr 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! Italian Chef

Judging by your name, you might know me, or you probably should, if you are in games as the name implies.
June 11, 200620 yr I haven't ridden any of those but, I think Sling Shot is more thrilling by the looks of it.
June 11, 200620 yr 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.
June 11, 200620 yr 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.
June 12, 200620 yr 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.
June 12, 200620 yr 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
June 12, 200620 yr After having finally done Skyflyer, I'd have to say that Skyflyer is more thrilling while Slingshot is more fun.
June 12, 200620 yr I personally like slingshot better but both are fun! Do one on Saturday and one on Sunday
June 12, 200620 yr 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.
July 29, 200620 yr 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.
July 30, 200620 yr 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.
July 31, 200620 yr 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. To steal from Busch Gardens "Like Nothing Else".
