F.L.Y.
F.L.Y. is the flying coaster in Rookburgh, the steampunk area themed around aviation that opened in 2020. According to the park, it's the longest flying coaster in the world and the only roller coaster that flies through a hotel.
The concept
In Rookburgh, everything revolves around the dream of flight. You're a "pilot" of a secret flying machine. You board standing upright, then the seat tilts so you hang beneath the track lying flat, face down towards the ground. Two launches get you up to speed.
The Experience
The track is around 1,234 metres long and winds through the entire area: past façades, over rooftops and several times right through Hotel Charles Lindbergh. You reach about 78 km/h and go upside down twice. Because you're lying flat, everything feels faster and closer than on an ordinary roller coaster.
Discover F.L.Y.
Get to Rookburgh early
F.L.Y. often has the longest queue in the park. If you can, head there straight after opening, when your wait will be shortest.
Stow loose items
You're lying on your stomach, so everything has to come out of your pockets. There are lockers at the ride; definitely don't hold your phone in your hand.
Quick Pass Ultimate
F.L.Y. isn't included in the individual Quick Passes. It is included in the Quick Pass Ultimate (€80, as of November 2026), which gives you one ride on F.L.Y. and one ride on every other Quick Pass attraction.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.30 metres tall and 8 years old. The maximum height is 2.05 metres. Between 1.30 and 1.40 metres and between 8 and 10 years old, you ride accompanied; from 1.40 metres and 10 years old, you can ride alone. With Baby-Switch, parents with young children don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then takes their turn. F.L.Y. is also open in winter.
Flying through Rookburgh
F.L.Y. is a ride you won't experience quite like this anywhere else. Come back again after sunset: Rookburgh is lit up and you'll see the flying machines skimming through the smoke and light.
