Its a fun coaster, but for me isnt to special, I think if you werent in an umcomfortable position on the loading platform and lift hill the ride may be better.

This is a fun and unique ride, but not so intense. It gives you an awesome experience of flying though, especially the first hill flying into the ground. Its a very short and not well maintained. Ive gone to the park about 7 times since it has opened, and the majority of the time its been closed.Its still a really fun, smooth ride that gives you a unique experience, the flying part is by far the best.

X-Flight offers a thrilling and intense ride, however factors such as intervals, capacity and general operation costs this ride two points. The ride itself is a winner due to the flimsy restraints and the unnerving flying position. Now with Cedar Fair operating the park I hope to see X-Flight being operated with Cedar Points standards.

DAG...GONE!!! This ride is INTENSE! Just watching the flyers wiz by while youre in line scares the begeezus out of ya. Youre heart is pounding and racing by the time its your turn. Frankly, the thought all throughout the line is "how is this thing safe. Those harnesses are going to have to break sooner or later!" Of course, you know they wont break and it is safe, but the doubt is still there. Either way, this ride is awesome and cannot be described. It does almost make you forget about the terrible service and cleanliness at the park....ALMOST.

Very average ride. It loads so slow Im suprised Im not still waiting for it. Overall just not fun and I dont really know why. I dont feel secure in the harness, but that is not the problem. APPEARANCE-6 Has an ok look. Nothing fantastic, but no complaints. CAPACITY-2 One of the worst loaders ever. The restraints coupled with the poorly designed station equal massive waits. RIDE QUALITY-7 Once you are on it the ride has a couple nice elements and some neat tricks. However the restraints constantly remove any real enjoyment. FUN- 4 Was fun the first time, but gets progressively worse with each reride. I think the knowledge of what you have to go thru removes the joy. RERIDE-2 Almost no existant now. I would choose it over the boomerang, but that is all. OVERALL-21 AVG-4.2 Wow what a difference adding a hundred coasters makes. At one time this was one of my favorite rides, but as my experiences, and expectations increased, I saw this for what it is. A poorly designed coaster which offers only the flying aspect to make it enjoyable.

Much better than S:UF.It has a good layout,comfy seats, and has great assortment of elements. 8/10 for quality ride.

A very impressive and intimidating ride from a spectators point of view. But the experience is different from what it appears to be. The restraints are unbelievable in appearance and operation. It literally feels as though the chest harness could snap at any time. An impressive turn over and first drop give the ride a great start. The turn arounds have little to be desired. One of the best inversions out there is the vertical loop. A total Flight Xperience! Definitely an experience not to be missed, but there is still much to be desired from such an impressive looking ride.

The restraints are uncomfortable and the loading time are excrutiating. It took 20 minutes to get on just from the bottom of the stairs! The loop and first flip are phenominal and unlike anything else Ive experienced, but they dont make up for the uncomfortable restraints and slow loading time. HINT: dont wear sandals! I did and was forced to try and keep them on during the ride, I was literally holding myself up to keep my sandals on!

"X Flight" is the best coaster no one talks about.
Ive been on 70 coasters on the planet and only
"X" and "Millennium Force" rank higher. Laying
you back, flipping you upside-down at the top of
the incline, and then sending you flying and whirling like a fighter-jet pilot creates a sensation unlike virtually all the other coasters.
Unfortunately, SFWOA and Six Flags parks in general have some serious work to do in the areas
of service excellence, cleanliness, and attention
to detail. SFWOA is a park with great potential;
heretofore unrealized. "X Flight" would otherwise
be a "10".

this is a really great coaster. it puts Superman:Ultimate FLight to shame! (My oppinion.) the line was kinda long, but when both sides of the station was open, the line was very short. Ive heard people say its painful and bumpy, but i found it smooth and very comforting. i would have liked to see more loops but otherwise the layout and elements on the ride were great. AWSOME FLYING COASTER!
