Pteranodon Flyers reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Pteranodon Flyers, a track ride in Jurassic Park at Universal's Islands of Adventure. (The minimum height to ride is 36 inches.)
Written by Matt Paulin An 88 Second Flying Swing Ride Designed for Children. It has 3 Ride Vehicles that seat 2 people. The Vehicles are themed to resemble Pterodactyls. The Seats Swing Front-to Back and Side-to-side. The Track twists and turns at a high velocity allowing riders a view of all of Jurassic Park.
Be advised that this ride is one of the only rides in the park without an Express Line, So ride it early. Also, during busy times, they have a rule that you can only ride if you have a child with you.
Readers' rating:
Very enjoyable but short ride, you need a small kid to be able to do it, in November the lines aren't really that bad, but on peak times, forget about it. - David Shaul 9/14/2012: There was not a single person on line and the seats were flying empty, but we two adults were still not permitted to ride. - Jennifer Schwing I was only able to ride it because I was with my kid brother. It was an okay ride but not worth the wait in line. Great for toddlers though, my little brother loved it. - Michelle Kowalski To ride Preranodon Flyers, you MUST enter the park as soon as it opens. I went straight to the ride, ignoring an employee that said it was not open yet... it was. I waited just a few minutes. As a big fan of suspended coasters, the Flyers did not disappoint. The seats not only swing side-to-side, but back and forth as well. When I got off the ride, the line was already over 45 minutes long! That's too bad... I would not have even waited 15 minutes for the ride! It's an enjoyable ride, but definitely not worth waiting for. - Russell Fox A bit silly you must have a kid and an awful wait time but I still thing it's a half decent ride. I was expecting to see some Dinosaurs though. 7/10 - D H It looks fun, but like others have mentioned, you can't ride without a child, so we couldn't try it. - Kevin Norris not alot of train cars to ride makes very long line waits - chris cona I rode this at the end of the day and still had to wait about an hour and a half. Great beginner thrill seeker coaster, though. I ended up liking this fun ride, and I would not ride this during the afternoon, because that's when the line is really long. - Bradley Keith This looked cool and I wanted to ride, but couldn't. You have to have a child with you. If you are childless, you're out of luck. DISCRIMINATION!!! - Brandy Schroeder When I went there, I was freaked out to do any real Roller Coasters, so I wanted to do this ride. When we saw the 45 minute wait, we were wondering if we should ride it. I begged and it worked. Universal Studios does do a good job of putting mister fans in the que line, but still is a horrible wait. Than after we did the ride, we got off and we all wondered, "Why did we do that ride?" - Jacob Ferguson More attraction and restaurant ratings: |
