too bad they couldn't be bother to theme the actual ride in any useful way.
I think the theming and queue is actually pretty nice. Well shaded for sure. I do wish the TVs weren't so loud though...
They did NOT bring back the self-advertising TV's... Don't tell me...
That'll make me instantly hate the theming.

I rode Finnegan's Flyer on Friday and Saturday in different ways. The first time I was in the green swing on the right side. The second time I was in the orange swing on the left side. I liked riding on the right side more as it felt more intense.
I haven't been to BGW. Why would one side be more intense than the other? Don't they swing at the same speed?
Having ridden numerous times on both sides, my experience has been the same on both sides.
I think when he was referring to the side he was referring to the direction you are facing at the start. In my opinion if you start facing building it is much better because at highest point you look down at the water.
Ah, got it. I was tripped up by the use of right and left. That makes sense.
In fairness, using directional (left/right) references without providing an anchor point is incredibly confusing.
When someone says right/left without an anchor, you are supposed to assume you are facing North. Using that as an anchor point would make "left" facing towards the station and "right" facing away. This is likely what the user intended, if only by accident.

I actually think that's exactly the sides he was referring to. Left was facing away from the station and right was facing towards the station when seated.
I edited my post since this quote as I had it backwards. North is how you would look at the ride from the train tracks, so that makes the seats inverted from my original post.
But this is an example of why you need to include an anchor when using relative directions.
This ride seems like a good addition to the park (and that specific area). Shame the name/theming isn't better, but I think the ride is a good attraction choice & location.

Why choose one, when you could have both at the same time.
