I rode the fiddlers fling hundreds of times and every time it's better than the last. This is truly a magical experience that everyone must try. No matter the age, it's fun for the whole family. This ride was truly life changing and has changed my perspective on the theme park experience and how it impacts the socio economic state of the world as me know it. I couldn't recommend the fidlers fling more, its a must try. Frindle

Don’t go in with two people, YOU WILL BE SQUASHED! This is my favorite ride at Six Flags, as I’m more of a spinning ride kind of person than a roller coaster. If you like your stomach being thrown across the room in excitement, do this ride. I highly recommend for people who like spinning rides. By the way, the dude who runs this is super nice, great operator.

The Fiddler's Fling is a 2-person per seat per car ride. The height requirement is 36"(inches). This ride has circulating and spinning motions. It spins fast and some kids look like they're about to lose their lunch.
