Knoebels installing new roller coaster for 2015, small improvements this year

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

A fifth roller coaster known as the Impulse is expected to be ready for the 2015 season. Being built by Zierer, a German company, it includes a 90-foot vertical drop and a variety of inversions.

The wrong story is linked. This is a story about the opening of the park season. The real link is:

I take it they weren't interested in designing and building it themselves...

Kozmo is NOT your friend.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

That woman that's in a relationship with 1001 Nachts is gonna have to wait awhile. It's still closed for rehab.

Dave Dragon, go Dave Dragon, and the Star Force Five!

She's WHY it's closed for rehab.

I confess to having not yet read the article. But I love how "opening a one-of-a-kind bobsled coaster" is apparently considered a "small improvement." I guess because the ride has been SBNO for seven years getting it open is nothing more than a formality...

I think they're crediting Turns with the 2013 opening. That's when I rode it.

Yeah, they did note that (I did read the article). But it ran...what...four days in 2013? The season was officially over by the time the ride opened for their Halloween special events. I think it's fair to call Flying Turns "New for 2014"; the rides we got last fall were just a preview.

The big additions last year were the bathroom upgrades....everything else, as they say, was pure gravy. :~P
