Six Flags Quiddiya

I love that it's a rollercoaster that gets more and more bonkers as it goes along. I can't think of another one that does that, the majority tend to peak at the start (predominantly due to the gravity requirements for motion).

To be fair with the multi launch coasters that exist now it can be argued that the second half of some of them is better. Nothing quite on this scale though granted.

That Cliffside drop and huge air time hill will never be topped in our lifetimes. This is without a doubt the concorde moment.

It'd be nice to see an actual POV so you can actually tell how well it flows and utilises the speed and height records it's broken.

Whatever you say about records not being everything, or however you feel about the park itself, this ride does look truly insane! That cliffside drop and giant airtime hill will be like nothing else out there, and I still can’t quite get over the fact that the ride goes down a huge drop and then launches further downwards… the acceleration effect of a launch that is working with gravity rather than against it could feel absolutely ludicrous, I feel!

Principally, in an era where it feels like so many parks are cutting back, I absolutely love the spirit of “we’ve got this insane idea, let’s just go ahead and make it happen”. It feels like a nice flashback (if I’d been around in this era to witness it) to the maximalism and bombast in the coaster industry of the 1990s and 2000s. We don’t get many rides like this built anymore, and as someone who regrets the fact that I wasn’t around to see this golden age of brilliant, bombastic record breaking coasters, I love that the construction of Falcon’s Flight is giving me a taste of what that era was like!
