They timed this so well. I’m flying into Louisville before going to HWN and this literally opens the day I fly into Louisville. Pit stopping here after HWN…

I did NOT realize how close Louisville is to Holiday World, holy shit. Sounds like I need to do a HW and KK trip at some point.

If Flying Fox is anything like Dragonflier at Dollywood it should be one of the smoothest coasters out there. While fairly brief like most family coasters, Dragonflier is a lot more fun than you'd expect.

Holiday World would be a great pairing with a Kentucky Kingdom visit. HW is a wonderful park if you haven't visited yet.

Holiday world, Kentucky kingdom and kings island are all in one 3 hour shot.

You'd be hard pressed to find a more perfect installation than this one, IMO. Looks like an all around home run.

1st time at kentucky kingdom and it was for media for flying fox. Also got 1st front ride for the first train after the media was over. This ride SLAPS, it absolutly hauls later in the day, it's so whippy, it has a pop of airtime going into the tunnel, the small turn around that whips up toward the front gate pulls some really good Gs, 37mph never felt so fast lol God I wish we got a vekoma over a B&M for big bad wolf

Sorry im just not good with taking pics. Most of the land was still construction dirt anyway

 

[WarmishSign]

Is this back open yet, or still closed? I’ll be there in a couple days

Yeah, the park's site says it's open too. You should be fine.

I rode it literally 3 days after it opened. It was really good!
