I actually found the newer of Playlands two kiddie coasters to be one of the best kiddie coasters that I have ever been on. Located near Playlands Kiddyland, the Family Flyer sports a vibrant orange paint job. Generally a walk-on like most kiddie coasters, the Family Flyer seats 12 riders per cycle. At the front of the train is a dragon head. I rode this twice, once in the front and once in the back. Though the cars were a bit cramped, its nothing thats too different from other kiddie coasters. Restrained by just a lap bar, the Family Flyer begins with a slight jerk and then proceeds up a small lift hill. Following that is a twisting drop that is followed by a hill that leads into a fairly slow helix. Then came a turn with a few bunny hops before returning to the station. Then you get a second lap. Despite what others have said, the Family Flyer was a very smooth kiddie coaster and I didnt find it jerky at all. Overall, the Family Flyer is one of the better kiddie coasters out there that any child would enjoy. Its nothing out of the ordinary, but worth a ride when you visit Playland.
