Just like SFOG's version, it's awesome. Because its restraints are so comfortable, it just makes the ride THAT much smoother! It's really fun, but not super thrilling. The pretzel loop is really unexpected and the best part of the ride. This really "glides" more than the SFOG version after the pretzel loop. It's not bad, but it's not as fast. - Eli Katzman

this is one of the coolest roller coasters six flags has to offer (el toro still owns this ride by far). it's sorta slow and short, but the ride is still enjoyable. when i went, it was during the summer, but there wasn't that many people there! this line was one of the longest, but i had the fastpass.the regular line looked like 40 minutes or so. i recommend doing this after riding the major rides, like King Da Ka and El Toro. - Orlandino Chuckles

I thought this coaster was excellent. Not a perfect 10, because it wasn't quite intense enough, but pretty good. It's pretty scary going up the lift hill- I was afraid to lean into the harness, but after the first drop you get used to it and can kind of give yourself over the the sensation of flying. The loops were pretty cool, because you ended up on your back. Overall, definitely worth the wait. - K P

I absolutly loved this flyer. Much more comfortable than the Vekoma version. The pretzel loop was a whole lot more intense than what I expected. The ride was also very smooth. - Christy Shuman

This being my first flying coaster, I had a good time. (I have nothing to compare it with.) We waited near an hour and a half to ride this thing and it was worth the wait. The sensation of flying is pretty sweet, and hard to beat. It almost felt like one of those falling dreams. Some have complained that it is uncomfortable to sit face down with your stomach on the harness like that, but I found it to be pretty comfortable. (I'm a pretty skinny guy, and my harness was tight.) - Mitch Rozetar

Tatsu kicks this rides butt - Geordie Bain
