X-Flight

Rule

Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom

Take flight on this flying roller coaster built by Vekoma. The flying dutchman coaster uses a unique style train with seats that recline to a lying down position. Upon reaching the top of the lift hill the train then inverts positioning the rider in a flying position.

As of 2007 X-Flight has been removed from Geauga Lake and relocated to Kings Island.
