The Flying Machine was a promising flat that failed to capitalize on its potential. Among DaVincis Garden is this incredibly unique flat ride (it looked like a mini Huss troika). Well it was a walk-on and the ride looked very clean and decent. Then came the abysmal loading process. It took about 5-6 minutes to load, which is absolutely outrageous. Eventually the ride did began and I was very impressed. I went on expected a tame family ride, but got a fairly intense flat ride. The Flying Machine was quite fast and the spinning was extremely dizzying. Unfortunately the fun doesnt last as the Flying Machine is over after about a minute. I know Busch Gardens doesnt want to have long circuits to cut down on waits, but one minute is just sad. This definitely has the potential to get a 9 or 10 rating from me, but the long and tedious loading process combined with the outrageously short ride cycle hurts this ride.
