Ccron10 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 It wouldn't be a bad idea traveling up there one afternoon next year to ride that thing. I hope they get the train pictures up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primogen18 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Just some updates but if anyone has been checking it in at night, they have added the tough lights as well as chaser/decrative lights to the lift. Staining of the final layer has also started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob256 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I stopped by the park last Sunday night to do a little night photography, and came upon Flying Turns lit up by the construction crew doing some work. I shot the ride from the roadside near the final turn which leads to the brake run. Â It is a 5 second exposure illuminated only by the park security lights.

Primogen18 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Ah that looks really cool. How much is done pre-lift hill? I would have thought they would done more work after the figure 12 and on the brake run by now since they are putting on the final layer of track. Also some other updates, Knoebels.com is going under construction as well for a new look and changes. Its pretty cool, and theres a neat game there now. Too bad it's not online lol.

Jim S. Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 bob256: I love night photography! I wish I had had my camera and a tripod with me for the two trips I made for dark Phoenix rides after Phunfest this year. The first time, it was last-quarter moon so as I was walking back to the parking area, which in this case was the campground, as I walked next to Twister I could look up and see stars through the structure. The second time, it was first-quarter moon and the moon was rising over the Phoenix lift hill as seen from the courtyard! Â Primogen18: From everything I've read, not much has been done on structure. All the work has gone into the already-framed sections of trough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob256 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Primogen18 and all - Â There has been no work on the station which leads into a 540 that goes into the main lift hill. After you shoot from the final turn, there has been no construction which takes you on the brake run to the station. Â My source tells me that they are waiting for engineering to provide them with the blueprints to complete those sections of the project. Not Gospel... just what I heard. BTW, more pictures are coming soon. I have stuff from February 2006 to present. That is an advantage of living close to the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primogen18 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 ohh ok, that seems logical though, because they have nothing of that done yet and if they had blueprints or something they could have at least gotten something like structure and frames before completeling the figure 12.

bob256 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hi everybody! Â Here's a link to some of the photos I shot of the Flying Turns construction. The pictures range from the pouring of the footers in February to the construction of the main lift hill in September. Â I'll post more after another visit if there is any significant progress.

Primogen18 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Um, come up with something? I didnt come up with anything, the filter WAS changed so that my and others signatures read that line instead of a set of numbers. If you somehow missed that whole thing, then I do not know where you were. Â Also, I haven't checked this topic considering there was nothing really to report in it, therefore I waited until there was something to actually contribute thinking it would be appreciated. This was so I could post something actually contributing to the topic, please do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmoofy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I just got done watching the local news, and near the end there was a story about Knoebels. Apparently, they are purchasing a golf course close to the park's location, nearly doubling the current size of the park. Â Does anyone have more information on this? I'm looking through this newscast's website now, and they don't have the story posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I know which one your talking about, it's the one you pass when you go towards the park from Elysburg. I forgot the name though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primogen18 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I saw that somewhere else, but theres no online source as of yet. They do plan on keeping it a golf course, just plan on incorporating it into the "resort" which I think is awesome. With the purchase of Lake Glory and now this, they seem to be upping the whole resort aspect, giving more to do aside from the Park itself.

kidcoaster Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I know which one your talking about, it's the one you pass when you go towards the park from Elysburg. I forgot the name though. Â It's called Three Ponds Golf Course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primogen18 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 yeah, Three Ponds. I'm wondering if they will keep the name or even tag "Knoebels" on the beginning, which would make sense. "Knoebels Three Ponds" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCoasterny Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Here's an update from Easter weekend- Â Rides have been "unwrapped" from winter storage and trains are in place on the Phoenix. Not sure about the Twister- I didn't go back there. Noticed several houses raised onto concrete piers next to the river. One house got a major overhaul and was expanded into a 2 story house. Â Flying Turns construction is coming along nicely- The structure for the 540 helix is 90% done, and is waiting for the trough to be built. It appears that the first 180 turn is flat, with a sudden drop in the second 180 turn (which is the tightest portion of the helix), and I'm not sure how the final 180 will have any rise or remain flat until the lift hill. 3 large concrete blocks with bolts and conduit are in place for the lift hill motors. The silver control building has the large computer cabinet in place, don't know if the electronics are inside. They are now starting the structure for the 90 degree turn off the brake run and into the 3rd lift that will run parallel to the midway. Footers for the first lift hill are already in place. No footers for the run from the 3rd lift hill to the station and the station are in place yet. It probably will be in place by opening day. I will post some pictures later as soon as I get them off my camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
