Josh Linn Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Of course I have to work every single day this weekend. I might be able to squeeze a ride in if I go Saturday morning.
Vtafro Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Flying Turns apparently has been certified and spent today cycling private guests of the park. The long national nightmare is over, peeps. Probably as soon as tomorrow, Flying Turns is open to the public. If it does indeed open this weekend, I'll have to see about making a special trip to check it out next weekend since I have off (would rather be at BGW and KD instead of ACEr Fest this year). I was starting to wonder if anyone has heard of it possibly opening this weekend. Hoping for the best! Â Will also be attending next weekend, hopefully not as crowded as PPP, not sure saturday or sunday however though.
alilstronger Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Oh my! I think tomorrow I will be going to Knoebels all day! Now who can I drag there with me lol  I've never been to PPP before. Are most of the rides open?
johnychen Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I will be going to PPP for the first time tomorrow. Looks like I may have picked a good time to go if Flying Turns does open. Â If it does open I will give the Tapatalk app a shot and post some pics.

If any of our TPR members are going to be at Knoebels this weekend it would be great to get some photos & video if Flying Turns really does open to the public. Please let us know!

Skycoastin Steve Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 In other news, Hell has been experiencing record low temperatures. Forecasts show Hell may be freezing over...
Jim S. Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Oh my! I think tomorrow I will be going to Knoebels all day! Now who can I drag there with me lol I've never been to PPP before. Are most of the rides open?  Everything except the water rides is open during the afternoon. At night, only certain rides are open. Official schedule at www.knoebels.com/images/pdf/MediaDownloads/Phunfest2013.pdf
alilstronger Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 ^ Thank you! That is the flyer I was looking for. $24.00 is not a bad price at all.
Jim S. Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I had to look and see how late they announced Black Diamond (since they haven't actually announced Flying Turns yet!) and it appears that Black Diamond was announced sometime around 6 PM the day before PPP. So there's still a chance they'll announce Flying Turns. Â The other possibility I've been thinking of is that, since the line is bound to be outrageous with the capacity being so low, they might not announce it, but make it a PPP-only ride.
Jew Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I have a feeling that a zombie apocalypse is going to be more enjoyable than PPP this year... Â But kudos to the park for sticking with the project and finally getting it done.
robbalvey Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 I just want to throw this out there... I was there for the Twister opening day where the line was HOURS long and that was a train that held 24 people. How many people does the Flying Turns train hold?
robbalvey Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) 3 to 6, depending on size and weight. So 3 considering the group of people who will be at the park this weekend. And if there is a total weight restriction per train, then it might only be 1! Edited October 4, 2013 by robbalvey

alilstronger Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 That line is going to be long! I am going to try to get there nice and early tomorrow.
Intaman Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 What? Really, Flying Turns, running, at last? Wasn't this supposed to open a few decades ago?
GigaG Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 In other news, Hell has been experiencing record low temperatures. Forecasts show Hell may be freezing over... Â What do you mean "Hell"? Is it the filter?
robbalvey Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 That line is going to be long! I am going to try to get there nice and early tomorrow. I would suggest that. Keep in mind that Knoebels doesn't really have a "gate" so there isn't anything stopping anyone from walking over from the campground at 4am to be "first in line." I mean, they are camping at Knoebels anyway, right?
Rollercoaster Rider Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Might have to invent a front of the line pass for this ride Knoebel's. "Phoenix Phast Pass?"
Wes Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 That line is going to be long! I am going to try to get there nice and early tomorrow. I would suggest that.

Â Less than a week to go before the 8th anniversary of Flying Turns being announced (October 9th). If they can open to the public before then our long national nightmare may finally be over!

robbalvey Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 It opened people are in line right now Awesome! If you're at the park, send us photos!
