This is a wonderful ride! Gives you a headache after riding it a few times in a row. - Alex Gamso

Skyhawk looks like an average 'pirate-ship' style ride. However when you ride it, everything feels so different. Due to its simplistic and minimalistic harnesses, the ride is superb. You can feel the most of the airtime every time the ride reaches its highest point. What's more, your feet are dangling freely, means even more thrill and excitement. Don't skip this ride if you're visiting the park. It's worth the wait. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro

While one of my favorite flat ride styles, it doesn't hold a candle to it's smaller brothers. - Jacob Sundstrom

This ride is awesome, it is all force. your are pushed forward and right when you see the sky, you are pushed backward. I love this ride, it is one of the best Screamin' Swings. - Ben E.
