While not quite as good as the nearby Jokers Jinx, the Flight of Fear is a very fun coaster and one of the best rides in the park. The extra-terrestrial theming is pretty well done and definitely helps boost the suspense prior to boarding. Like most Premier coasters, this one begins with a decent launch, but it seemed pretty tame compared to the other launched coasters I have been on. But from here, the coaster takes off. The layout is pretty well hidden from view and probably does not contain a single piece of straight track. The cobra roll is smooth and very forceful, as is the subsequent sidewinder inversion. While a brake run saps a lot of the speed before the second half, the train manages to get a good amount of it back before flying through a very disorienting and intense corkscrew to finish off the coaster. Flight of Fear may not have the breakneck speeds of Kingda Ka or Top Thrill Dragster, but it still has plenty of tricks up its sleeve to make it a very good coaster.
