Flying turns POV

This is a POV of the Flying Turns at Knoebels that I had found leaked onto the internet. This Pov was taken during the first unpowered test runs in July.

So heres the deal. Knoebels has taken the ride off of all its lists online because they are tired of getting questioned about the ride. I can tell you though that the ride is still standing so I am assuming that they are still trying to get it to work, but right at the moment they are more focused on and concerned with getting the Black Diamond open for opening day this year. So will there be a new coaster this year for Knoebels... Yes.... Will the FlyingTurns be one of them... time will tell

due to open this year (YES!)

@MrRickroll321 well they have been saying that every year since they started the project. I live only a few minutes from the park and work there in the rides department. After looking at their website the ride has been removed from their price lists and is not listed anywhere on the website. I can tell you though that it is still standing, and that we are all hoping for this coming season, which starts 4/30 this year but I would not count on the FlyingTurns too much.

Okay, not to sound stupid, but what's the point? I live right outside Elysburg, so I've been hearing all about this ride/seeing it for a long time now. When I saw it last summer, it just looked like a giant donut kinda thing. You just sit in it and it takes you from side to side like ice luge?

Okay then let me ask you what the point would be of any roller coaster other then to get the thrill of it. I work at the park and my supervisor rode it before they decided to redo parts of the ride and he said it was a great thrill, and every ride is different depending on the weight in the cars

Anyone wanting to ride this this summer better be planning a late summer trip, because as of today it does not look good for any time soon

There must be a lot of radiation there. The Geiger counter keeps going off.

i rode the Bobsled at Coney Island at least 50 times in the late 50's and early 60's until it closed down. This may be the closest recreation of that ride. This is very different from a tracked coaster...and the closest thing to a real bobsled. To all you naysayers who have never rode one of these...just wait!

that look like fun

[MrFlightdeckfan]

Imagine sliding down the track. That would been fun to use it as water slide.

so what exactly is wrong with it? Why didn't they open it?

[minmelethuireb2]

I hope they finish this sometime. I think it would be fun...

U Mean The Flippin' Turns, What they should do is turn it into a skate park.
