Glad you had a good time and Flying Aces lived up to the hype, it does look like a truly awesome ride!

Nice one Dave. Looks like you had a great time. I didn't expect the queue line to be that good, looks incredible!
 
Nice report Dave. Did the park provide an official POV? I saw that they posted a video announcing the opening with some POV clips:

Ha. No. I'm still am chasing them for a PoV. As soon as I get it I will post it.

I have seen this video circulating as well showing a full off-ride circuit.

A side note to videographers: Don't forget to rotate your phone from portrait to landscape before shooting! :lol:

Oh my God yay I'm so ready for this!

Did they mention anything about the SFX coaster? It's just sort of sitting there with noone paying it any attention xD
 
Yeah, thanks for the review Dave. Looks so good. I'm especially glad that you mentioned that it had those "frightening" moments, which Skyrush has too.
 
My only question is this:

Do the restraints tighten during the ride and release on the brake run after the train has gone to a complete stop?

Bar that, the ride looks fab!
 
Great job covering the event Dave!

And wow does that thing look amazing :--D Abu Dhabi here we come!!
 
Heres a vid of the que line walkthrough

This is as is and is rather dark

This is a brightened version. It has quite a lot of noise but gives you a better idea of what to expect

Awesome. I'm thinking the right wing looks like it'll have the better/intense moments on some of those elements and turns.

Also, does anyone know how steep the first drop is?
 
This does seem like the more refined older brother of Skyrush - which is like the bratty teenager. :lol:
 
Thanks Dave. Looks like a totally different ride to Skyrush, much tamer, more like a B&M than the original. I'm still excited to ride it, but nowhere near as excited as before unfortunately, there's no snap to the direction changes, which is one of my favourite things about Skyrush.
 
Yeah, I'm still gagging to ride it and I think it'll be excellent still, but, better than Skyrush? Not for me I don't think.

Hopefully I'll be saying something different come August <3
