This set of Flyers was pretty dissapointing to me, but still a fun ride. After learning how to fly down at Carowinds, I was eager to do some more snapping on the Flying Eagles. Sadly, no matter how hard I steered or how much thrust I put into the sides of the tubs, I could not snap the darned things. I was able to get them to wobble a bit, but nothing like the true snapping I did on the Flyers down south. They also had a shorter duration than the Carowinds version, though I thought the absense of rudder controls would make them easier to snap. Still, you could get up fairly high, but without the uncertainty created by snapping a flyer, it just didnt thrill me as much, nor did I want to ride over and over again, rather, two attempts were sufficient to me. Since Im sure yall are correct about the being too fast, I sure hope they slow these birds down. I suppose that is why this line was dominated by young children, as opposed to the set at Carowinds which attracted young and old.
