This ride has a really cool pretzel loop, but after that it's quite boring.

Really only good for the loop, and the surrounding area and landscaping isn't very interesting and unique like SFOG's Superman flyer.

Eh...I don't like SUF. It's just not a good coaster. It didn't have a long line so I went on it. But if it had had a long line I would have skipped it.

I felt too confined and very uncomfortable. Having my ankles clasped and the harness way too tight to breathe made this ride a bad experience for me. I don't remember seeing or actually recalling what the coaster was like. I can tell you what the shoes looked like in front of me and that my shins were hurting. Not a thrill. Just an inconvenient couple of minute experience.

I loved this ride. I waited maybe half an hour for the front, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope Magic Mountain's Flyer is a custom designed one with more forces than just the pretzel loop.

This ride has a terrible layout. Pretzel Loop: AWESOME. Rest of ride: SUCKS
Shockwave was 5 times better!

I don't know I've been on the Vekoma and the B&M flyers and they are just ok to me, nothing that stands out really. With the exception of the pretzel loop, this ride is about 1500 feet too long and boring. There isnt enough elements to keep me wanting to go back to it. But one thing I do like about this B&M flyer as opposed to the same one in GA and NJ is the capacity time. The line looked EASILY 3 hours long, but I was only in line for about 45 minutes before I got to ride it. The clones in NJ and GA, the capacity hour is ridiculously slow and isnt even the most popular rides in the park either. NJ is my homepark and Ive only ridden S:UF there 2 times because I have ZERO pateince for a 4 hour wait when only 1000 people are in the line. This is where the one in IL rules. But other than that, the ride is just OK.

This is simply an average ride. The pretzel loop is outstanding in all aspects and the last inversion before the final brake run was a nice surprise, however this ride has three downfalls. The first is that the flying position is way too uncomfortable to be sitting in a brake run for five minutes after the ride. The second is that it really doesn't have an interesting layout or landscape. The final is that the line gets way too long and unlike when the ride opened, the line doesn't seem to move too fast anymore. Just OK for me as well!
