A.J. Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It'll look even better when it's placed on the supports. Probably. Â EDIT: Looks like the Cobra Roll. Â Â Source: Knoebels on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigilX Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Local news reported on the construction of Impulse yesterday. Nothing really new from what we know here, but they showed the parking lot now filled with track and support pieces.

tanthonyam Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Do they still have that flying carpet ride? The one that the woman was in love with? It was in some documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Do they still have that flying carpet ride? The one that the woman was in love with? It was in some documentary. Yep, still there. I don't think it operated at all last season as they were doing a lot of work to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigilX Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The flying carpet ride 2001 Nacht was down for maintenance last year with a sign saying "Waiting for parts from Europe. Much of the paint on the main arm was removed in certain sections and the motor covering was removed. It might have been a hydraulic issue as I smelled hydraulic fluid in the area, more than normal.

bert425 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 that's so funny, because I had seen this years ago, and made NO connection to it being at Knoebel's.

Shavethewhales Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Huh? Where is this expectation for covered footers coming from? I didn't think Knoebels had that kind of theming/landscape standard. Even SDC doesn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
