This forum has been slow, as of late, so I thought I would stir things up.

I chose Fly.
I suffer from weightlessness sickness. I can't stand to on be on rollercosters or in elevators that go too fast.
I would love to be be high and free and able to fly anywhere I wanted to go. And be strong enought to take whoever I wanted with me.

I picked fly too. I'd never have to stress out over a late train, and... I'd never have to deal with traffic again!

Fly. I've been invisible most of my life.

I love to be able to fly like superman. The reason I like to fly on a plane is the weightlessness that you feel for a brief second.
There is also a spot on lake shore drive here in Chicago where you can experience weightlessess. If you drive at about sixty miles per hour, there would be a small drop in the road after a bridge on that road.

Fly course! Then I could get to and from where I'm going at superfast speed! I also hate to fly in planes, so I'd able to avoid that at all costs.

I chose fly. I have a fear of heights and a fear of flying. Part of the reason is in neither case do I feel in control. If I could fly then I would be in control of the situations. Also I love to do landscape and wildlife photography so there would be no place I couldn't go. So FLYING IT IS.

Har! Those irony loving... Notice how the 14% who chose 'invisible' didn't leave a note?

I choose invisible because I am not trying to pretend to b like Superman like most peeps here. Being invisible means more fun involved and more you can do!

Wanting to fly has nothing to do with wanting to be like Superman. If your afraid of heights and it is coupled with a fear of falling like it is for me as well as having a fear of flying then choosing flying makes perfect sense. Part of the ability to fly would be the ability to float so you wouldn't fall. The fear of flying for me would be cured because my biggest problem with flying is being in side a tin can with other people controlling my fate - crash or not was the plane properly maintained. The list goes on and on. If I can fly then I'm in control. Plus as I said I can go anywhere in the world to do my photography at a moments notice. I could not really see much use for being invisible unless you want to become a thief or to spy on people. Stealing from others is not something I want to do and the idea of spying on others freaks me out. There was a peeping tom in my neighborhood a few years ago so spying on people without their knowing it really turns my stomach.

Invisibility could be quite something, but I'd like flying even better. I love swimming in the deep sea because it makes you feel like floating in the air... but actually floating in the air would probably feel even better! See ya, AnnaBtG.

Invisibility would be pointless in my life since my job is to help people, and they would have a hard time finding me if I were invisible. I could see where it might be helpful in an investigative sort of job, but since I tend to run late, I'd be better off flying--just to make it to work in a second. No more driving miles out of the way to get to a bridge so I can cross the river to get to work. Just soar over. Think of the savings in gas!

Fly.
Fly.
Fly.
Fly, a thousand times fly.
Yes, to be invisible could be fun; and I've often wished that I could stretch my body so that I could get at something that I can't reach or see properly; and super-strength could be very useful; and it's probably just as well that I don't have heat vision or some other kind of zap ability, because I'd want to use it...
...but to fly... to "slip the surly bonds of Earth"; to know the freedom and the feeling of motion; to streak across the ground or sea close below and then soar into the clouds to hang seemingly motionless as the world turns underneath; to dive from the heights like a bird of prey and pull up to race back up into the sky, feeling the speed gradually bleed off as you climb... That's my dream.
It's why I enjoy swimming underwater and body-surfing. It's something that my imagination has taken me through, awake and in dreams, so many times that I know what it feels like... and then I come back to reality and feel bereft. It's why I have grave doubts about psychic powers (or me having any, at least) because more than once, on a beautiful morning, I have looked at the sky and felt its pull, and if desire and willingness and the feeling that I know just what to do and what it will feel like have any power, I would be off the ground and soaring in the sunlight... but I remain earthbound and wonder why. And it's also the reason that I will never take hallucinogens: a classic effect is the belief that the subject can fly, and I'm halfway there already -- I'd be off the nearest building before you could say "zonked out of his brain." I'd be smiling, though, all the way to the ground.
No contest here. Fly.

I found it a tough choice but I chose fly. Both would be fun but really if I could fly I could just go so high up that noone would see me and then i'd sort of be invisible too.

Oh, fly definitely. It would just be much more fun. The freedom of movement would be intoxicating, as would be the 'views' that one could get from such vantage points. It might also be easier to find 'my' Lois Lane with the added mobility... or not.

Ever since I was a child, it has always been fly (not that the invis/fly question was asked), but I have ALWAYS wanted to be able to...
Closest I get is my dreams... which I DO dream about flying A LOT.
