Another update.  Looks like a skeleton of a dinosaur. So far 50 ribs  are complete and only 1150  more to go. Check it out...

That is very, very cool.  Look how sharp that turn is, and that looks like it is at the bottom of the run.  Awesome!

I've read that some else too, maybe they can add another world class coaster on that land and shorten the course to 9 holes.

Not sure how many coaster enthusiast golfers there are or vice versa but it's a great way to add revenue to the park. Wonder if I could get a Tee time and PPP for a combo price.

As for the Flying Turns , are own Coastin Steve is a carpenter  and is working for Knoebels now. Check out his link here....

It looks like a piece of artwork.  Coming along very nice!
Anyone have any idea what the trains on Flying Turns are going to look like.

Anything like these?

This project makes my mouth water, I am so happy to  see that this ride is being carefully thought out and not just slapped together. Big bravo to the brains behind this project

I'm not aware of anybody actually seeing the trains just yet.  All I've heard is that they are custom PTC's.  Anybody know more?
