Fly away was a enterprise, but not a regular one. Instead of sitting in gondolas, you would lie in it. The ride was built by HUSS and located near Sledge Hammer. It had a fresh look with the bright colors. The ride was the third of it's kind in the world.
The theme of the ride was Jules Verne. The Sledge Hammer and Revolution had a little connection with these theme. However Revolution was pretty old, Fly away opened in 2003, and Sledge Hammer opened in 2004. The themes are connected, but the rides were from different ages. Fly away was the shortest in the park of the 3, it has been removed in 2003, 11 years after the opening, which is very short.

Did you know:
That this ride also turned backwards in 2003? It has been removed for the 2004 season.
- Popularity Attraction
This attraction was not very popular. The park was a family park, and Fly away was a pretty good thrill ride, maybe a little too much thrill for the park. However, on busy days the ride did it well, but the location was on a spot with less visitors.
- Waiting Times
The waiting times were pretty short about 5 minutes.
- Theming attraction
This attraction was actually good themed with its Jules Verne theme. It's sad that it couldn't be replaced somewhere else in the park. However, the removal of the ride resulted in an other bigger ride: The forbidden caves.
- Riding Time
The riding time was 3 minutes and 40 seconds.
- Disordering of attraction
This attraction was always open, but not the last few years, it did get broken, repaired and after a year still removed from the park.
