You guys would have loved the original Elitch Gardens in Colorado. It was relocated back in 1995 from it original location of 100 years...but it's where the Original Twister was. I see that Knoebels has rebuilt the twister from scratch. The original ride looks just like this but the turns were all in the opposite directions. I will get to Knoebels some day so I can ride my favorite coaster again. Great video! How do I join your organization?
@robbalvey i have to agree with you its a different kind of project, u dont see six flags or cedar point taking on a project like this!!! this is a one of a kind project!!!!!!!!!! i praise knoebels for taking on a project like this, even if it takes them a few years. ill wait!!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!
I think Flying turns oppening this year is a pretty good bet. They started preping the Black Diamond build site right before the snow storm hit, and with another comming tonight progress is going to slow down till the weather warms up at the end of the month. You can see pics of thier progess on the knoebels facebook fan page.
Most coasters seem to go up over just 1 winter, but I can't remember how long I've heard of this being under construction (seems to me at least several years).
This isn't a normal project though. There hasn't been a traditional Flying Turns coaster operational in decades. They really are having to re-invent the wheel with this one and they are taking their time to get it right instead of rushing it to completion. The park is already awesome without the ride, so it's not as though they absoultely *need* it. Although I'm sure they'd rather it be generating revenue than costing money! =)

Nice job, Robb. I know I just heard this song in a commercial. I can't remember what it was... But you had it first!
And I think the Travelin' Taco takes up residence in Lake Compounce as the Taco in a Bag. I've yet to try one.

Has Flying Turns really taken so long to build as I think it has? If so, it's totally pathetic.
xtremespeed128 2 years ago
@xtremespeed128 Could YOU build it any faster?

Just contrasting.

they were going to open it about a year ago, but because of safety issues they had to redesign and rebuild the whole thing, track and all.

I hope Knoebels gets Flying Turns up and running soon. They've invested so much into that ride...
