  • This looks so much better than Fetterman's design at Knoebels.

    There are more important coasters to recreate than Flying Turns, anyway.

  • Yeah but who else went out on a limb and built one lately? Remember this ride has been extinct here for about 40 years. I commend Dick Knoebel for his efforts, we need more like him!!

  • This was shot on 16mm by Dudley Humphrey the owner of Euclid Beach Park and transferred in the early 80's to 3/4" broadcast tape.

  • WOW!!! I remember going there there when I was in 1st grade, I never thought that i would see The Flying Turns ever again, Thanks!!!!

  • This one was too scary for me to ride, I was too little. Bet it broke down less than the one at Geauga Lake Park! I worked there for two Summers doing sketches. It was a horrible place to work and I was terribly exploited. The working conditions were atrocious. I wasn't even paid by the hour. The boss would grope us and the cantine food gave me ulcers. When I needed a few days off to see a doctor in Kent, he fired me! I left Ohio. This was '77. Good video, thanks!

  • This ride is at knoebles now but it's still not finished!

  • @jdawggerw Then the ride is no longer there.The video is an older one.

  • @HattieLovesCattie I believe you are mistaken as I looked up the rides there out of curiosity and saw nothing that was even close to a trackless coaster like this?

  • They have this type of ride at a Dutch Amusement park.The park is Efteling.The rides can be seen here on YT.

  • It was actually shot by Dudley Humphrey Scott who was chief engineer at the park. I first saw it in 1978 when his sone, David Scott used to show his fathers movies during Euclid Beach Days at Euclid Square Mall.

  • wow, the greatest days in my summer as a kid? 'GE-DAY" at euclid beach!!! Ride till you couldnt ride any more, eat, and ride some more. My first amusement park memories, and they are great. I cried the year they shut the park down.
