Flying Fox is a suspended family roller coaster at Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky. Built by Vekoma, it opened to the public on May 28, 2026, and became the park's sixth operating roller coaster.
Riders sit in cars hanging below the track. The train is lifted by booster wheels to a height of 65 feet, then runs 1,380 feet of track at up to 37 mph with no inversions, including a pass through an underground tunnel. A ride lasts about one minute, and each train carries 20 riders.
The ride's farm theme tells the story of a crop-dusting pilot, Jeb Fox, drawn from local legend.
