Flying Turns Update

^^ Yeah, I've been watching... And given the past couple weeks haven't been the best, I'm not suprised... But they really haven't updated pictures or anything since then.

The main reason for bumping this was to get Mr. Fetterman back here to post more cool stuff for us to read. Looks like that hasn't worked... Yet ;)

You missed him. He showed up to clarify the mystery of the green stain on Phoenix.

The ride looks much more impressive in person than it does on the webcam.

I've said the same about MTR! ;)

mOOSH [thanks for the perfect set-up, RGB!]

lol...I've missed the frequent MTR jokes....maybe I'll start making more pancake ones ;)

I hope that we don't read any time soon of any incidents on Moosh: The Ride causing 27 park guests to be sent to the emergency room. LOL

Don't worry. The trains aren't that big.

So I hear... ;)

I stopped in a few days after the flood (7/3). I was taking my friend from Long Island back home from Ohio. I agreed to go outlet shopping with her if she agreed to hit Knoebels (such a compromise ;)).

Anyway I snapped off some pictures and threw them together

The pictures really don’t do this thing justice. It looked as though all the black and white photographs I’ve seen of previous turns came to life. I don’t know what’s more impressive; the old school construction method of just bending wood, or the crazy turns where it looks like the train will be tilted 90 degrees just feet of the ground. Another nice (but odd) thing is they have a path which pretty much runs through the construction site so you can be within feet of the ride as it’s being built. Almost feels like one of those backyard coaster projects (well it technically it’s in someone’s backyard. :))

BTW Knoebels did an amazing job cleaning up after the flood. The grounds were completely dry and free of mud and debris. Only the pool was closed (looked like they were ready to fill) and 2-3 kiddy rides. To the casual observer you couldn’t even tell there was a flood a few days before besides the 100’s of pictures they have around the park of it...

That's actually what reminded me about his postings in this thread. His writing is awesome.

I'll second that!

(riding the joke while it's still alive...)

Willing to ride M:TR while it's still "alive".

LOL SFGAdv lover. I can assure you MTR is alive and well. Time to get in the queue! ;)

How much is FastPass?

Hey, maybe if you are lucky, M:TR will make pancakes for you the morning after. Mmmmm....Mooshy Flapjacks!

Rob - more than you can afford ;)

jf - I forgot how much you enjoyed them ;)

OK...enough hijacking. Back to the Turns!

Do FastPass users enter via the exit? ??? ;)

Thanks for the pics Joe E. It is looking good. I wonder if any of the constuction crews play skate-board luge when no one is around?

This thread about the Turns took a slight *detour*...time to get back on track....er, trough! :)

Ok I'll admit that cbuzz doesn't really make me roofle too often but this certainly did it.
