Sad to see they have lowered the ride time and possibly speed over the years. - SC Todbear

The Flying Machine appears to be an upgrade to the old Octopus rides of the past. However, this extremely slow loading ride provides the same amount of thrills as its predecessor. Which is to say, almost none. - James Rao

What I thought would be a madcap, airborne version of a standard Scrambler ride turned out to be fairly tame. Still, my kids loved it and that's what counts... - Barry Wallace

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. However, the ride was short and it loaded excruciatingly slowly. Even with a short line, it took almost 20 min to complete the ride. - Leon Pfeiffer

A good ride on it's own, but here the ride time is pathetically short, and it runs a speed that's nothing less than sad after seeing what Orbiters are capable of elsewhere. - Adam Imbruglio
