Ride Description Restrictions
Twister

48" w/o adult
Flying Turns - Coming Soon!
The Flying Turns is another Knoebels “in-house” project involving the re-creation of a classic ride popular in the early 20th century. The train rides in a trough with no further guide than the curved walls surrounding it. The cars are allowed to freewheel to wherever the centripetal force guides them in the trough. The effect is not unlike that of a bobsled ride or similar to the sort of daredevil barnstorming carried out by aviation pioneers.
