Intensity Guide

Flash Vertical Velocity Intensity

Flash: Vertical Velocity gets a 3.5/5 intensity. Flash features several passes of launches. These launches feature strong forces although they are not particularly intense compared to other launches (about the same level as Superman). Flash's vertical spike features some airtime and the 45* spike features an inversion that is better described as novel instead of intense due to the relatively slow speed it's taken at. This is in the mid tier of SFDK rides.
