I love the Flyers at Knoebels. I've been riding them since I was tall enough too. I still remember them charging .60 for the driver and .40 for the passenger. I even remember when the pine tree was cut out so there was only inches between the tup and the needles.

This past summer had to have been some of my best flights. After the one ride op got off work he saw me at another ride and commented on my flying abilities. The only complaints I ever got were from other patrons the staff never said anything to me. I usually have a sore lower back the entire summer from this ride. With the off seasom my back is feeling pretty good.

I am almost certain that the Flyers (their 2nd one) at Kennywood were from West View, Joel.

FYI: Americana replaced the tubs on theirs due to the loss of the origanal ones in a fire.

Since we have seen the opening of the new Flyers at Paramounts Great America, designed by Larson, has anyone here been able to ride them or even be able to snap them?

Lesourdsville Flyers are open again and are Daym Good!

P.S. They take a different style of wing action but you can snap them like crazy.

Chuck, who rode Lesourdsville Lakes Flyers probably 15 times last friday but missed out on Screechin Eagle that opened on saturday despite being told next weekend.

Lesourdsville Lake, The great American amusement park opens the season June 6th Thurs-Sun every week. Park phone is (513)539-2193

We got to the flyers right after our first spin on Screeching Eagle, and they were broken down for the rest of the day....beautiful tubs, though....

The tubs on the Americana Flyers were replaced after a fire broke out back in 1995 or so and destroyed the originals that were in storage for the winter along with the Whip cars and some Paratrooper Tubs..

I'm in love with Flyers. Took my first spin on them at CBC and then took about another 15-20 again that day! Tried them again at HW the next day, but to no avail! Not enough power to snap. :(

I don't think there's any at a park near me either! Must....get.....back.....to....PKI.... :)

Sorrrrrrrry folks! Parks closed. The moose out front should have told you.

no kidding.....BGT could sure use a set of these (or ANY flats at all). I wanna flyyyyyy. Got in with the Frequent Flyers at CBCon near the end of the run, love getting the families all freaked out!

HW has no JUICE in theirs, too slow to snap as fas as I can tell....

-----------------
Welcome to the Cedar Point skyride....we'll take you up 50, drop you down 30, all at an amazing speed of 6 miles per hour....we won't see you back unless you make the return trip!

What exacly is a "Snap"? I think i have done it, could someone please explain in detail what a perfect Snap is?

DLDude13, read the earlier posts in this very thread. The Mayor described it well. I also have given speeches about it, though I don't feel like retyping it (I can't find that particular thread). :) Just remember it takes practice!
