Location
Flying Fish now sits in the Amity area. RCDB notes that the ride originally stood on the spot now occupied by Stealth.
Notes
RCDB lists Flying Fish as a Mack Powered Coaster / Version 2 with 767.7 feet of track, a height of 20.7 feet, a top speed of 18.8 mph, 0 inversions, 1 train with 10 cars and 38 riders per train. Thorpe Park sets the minimum height at 3 feet; riders between 3 and 3.6 feet need an adult aged 16 or over to ride with them. Thorpe Park and Coasterpedia say the attraction started life in 1984 as Space Station Zero and reopened in 2007 as Flying Fish with a beach-and-surf look.
Theming
The current presentation leans into a light beach-and-surf theme, which suits an introductory family coaster in Amity.
History
Thorpe Park says the attraction opened in 1984 as the indoor coaster Space Station Zero. The current Flying Fish version reopened in 2007 in Amity.
