Better when it was completely dark in the building. PKI made up for the lights by removing the OTS restraints and putting in the lapbars. Worth the wait.

Really a fun ride, especially without the OTSRs.

Great ride. A lot of fun. Stupid theming though. A lot more fun and comfortable to ride with the new restraints.

This ride hurt because of the little leg room in the train. It had good themeing and had a fast launch out of the station. A must ride for someone that hasn't ridden a coaster like this one.

This ride was fun. I couldn't imagine riding it with OTSRs. Ouch.

FOF was a #1 ride in my book! i havent rode it with the OTS restraints be4 so im assuming it was pretty rough? man that would have sucked! all i know is that the wait is worth it and it is a unique kind of thrill ride...DEFINATELY recommended for those of u who r'ent too familiar with this kind of ride! 9/10

The theming leaves something to be desired, but the ride itself is a lot of fun. I didn't know it was inverted when I went on it for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised (my friend wasn't, unfortunately, she screamed things that'd make a sailor blush). This is a lot of fun and I'd recommend it to people who haven't ridden something like it.

This is my favorite roller coaster in the park the first initial launch is the best part and the structure is amazing and you cant leave out the theming 6/5!!!

No where near as good as Kings Dominion's. Not as forceful and rattled around a bit...
