Is Flying Turns: Resurrecting a Legend available in Switzerland?

Flying Turns: Resurrecting a Legend

In it's heyday of the 1930's through the 1960's, it was unlike any other amusement park ride. Crafted entirely of wood, few were constructed and even fewer became classics. Leaving lasting memories, it was deemed legendary by those fortunate to have ridden the gravity powered cars through hand-crafted troughs of cypress. The Flying Turns bobsled-type coaster was no ordinary ride and Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania is no ordinary amusement park. Together, they are the perfect complement. After an absence of four decades, and roughly seventy years since last constructed in the United States, the Flying Turns is now back! With virtually no available historic plans or construction documentation from the original rides, park president Dick Knoebel, ride designer John Fetterman, project manager Jim Martini, construction consultant Leonard Adams, wooden coaster designer Mike Boodley and dozens of construction personnel worked over seven years building an all-new 'classic' coaster, rekindling a passion and craftsmanship thought lost to time. In 2006, StoryWorks.TV was granted permission by Knoebels to document the construction of the Flying Turns. 'Flying Turns: Resurrecting A Legend' provides a detailed account of the project through exclusive video, photographs and interviews. Here is your chance to witness this historic one-of-a-kind construction project. See, hear and experience what it takes to bring back a legend.
