5-9-12 – My daughter and I went to SFMM today and rode Green Lantern. This ride sucks! I have welts and scratches on my shoulder, chest and arm. I also somehow got a notch cut out of my hand. It also bashed my head around. The ride throws you into the harness and back to the seat. I really hated this ride! My daughter also got bashed around and hated it. I liked X2 and other rides. this is the worst ride ever!!! Two thumbs down

I had a ride on a recent visit that was very imbalanced and the car flipped a lot. It was probably the least pleasant coaster ride I've ever had. I like Tatsu and other extreme coasters but the ZacSpin was not fun, at least not for me.

I'd be willing to try a second ride but I'd want to ensure the car's weight was balanced.

Just visited the park recently and found Green Lantern: First Flight to be a quick ride and, honestly, a little painful. That last drop can prove to be a real doozy for men, as it may slam you into your seat and cause some pain in the gonads.

This was one of the worst and most painful coasters I've ever been on. 2 days later and I am still sore. As my partner and I sat on it waiting to unload, we both remarked that we were glad we weren't male, or else we'd be rushing to the hospital after the multiple times we were racked on the pelvis guard. On top of that, the seat is so high up off the ground from where you board, and the pelvic guard comes up so high that getting in and out were VERY difficult. I'm 5'8 and I had to have someone help pull me up and over the guard. Of course, that might also have had something to do with the fact I thought the ride was going to shatter my pelvis. I will never ride this again.

Let me just say that this is THE WORST RIDE I HAVE EVER RIDDEN ON! If you are 5 feet tall, you definatly should not ride this dumb ride. They are going to send Deja Vu to the east coast, and they should just send this one away too. I was on the outside part and I could see the whole park. Sure that was cool but I felt I was going to fall out. I hurt my shoulders really badly and my mom hurt her legs. I hate this ride and it should just be demolished.

I live literally right next to this place, TOTALLY WORTH THE 30 MINUTE WALK!

Oh I so could not wait to do a write up on this monstrosity. If you enjoy pain through out your entire body this is the ride for you.

I have been on some crazy canival rides but this by far takes the cake in violent movements and whiplash inducing spins. I would say that the ride is far to short for the amount of time you spend in line, but the 40 seconds I was on this thing was 40 seconds to long. I had my head bashed 4-5 times and ended up with deep brusies on my calves when the car was entering the station spun so violently it smashed my legs into the bottom of the seat I was in. As I was limping out of the station they were helping to unbuckle another rider that had been knocked cross eyed with the same entrance. I though that I had discoved the worst coaster in the states with Iceman at SF mid america, this one exceeds Iceman as far as pain levels. I rate this coaster a 1 of 10 if only to serve as warning to others about the far too extreme movements of this caoster, I would not recommend this ride to anyone.

I'm going to be blunt and say that it was a flop because of the amount of wasted time waiting for them to fix a bug in the system WHILE I WAS ALREADY BUCKLED IN MY SEAT in 80-90 degree heat.

I might change my opinion when they get this thing running normally and when they allow rerides after getting stuck on it for 30-40 minutes.

I'm already planning a trip down during haunt season to check this out as well as backwards Colossus and the Ghost Galaxy version of Space Mountain. It looks pretty wicked though short.

Don't be fooled by the off-ride footage and POVs. This is one crazy, intense ride with or without flips. The G forces are strong and abrupt, the feeling unlike any other coaster type. It's a great addition to the park, something that must be experienced to understand.

I took three laps on media day. The first was balanced – no flips. The next two trips gave up two and then one spin. Nutty! The last spin into the station is a whirlwind. Even with the soft restraints, my shoulders griped a couple days.
